Postcard Friendship Friday

I am happy to say this is actually a postcard that my husband received from his great aunt Ella when he was just a little fellow. I have been saving it to post and wish you all a very happy Easter season. I remember his Aunt Ella in later years--and what I remember most about her was her rouge.

Rouge used to come in little round compacts with a little powder puff maybe the same size as a quarter or half dollar. Aunt Ella used to rub the little puff in the rouge and make little reddish pink circles on each cheek. I didn't know her really well, but that is what I remember about her.

Thanks again to our lovely hostess for PFF - stop by http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ and say hello to Beth and also check out the blogs posting cards. Happy PFF to all - and Happy Easter. (Click to enlarge)

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
