I found this pretty little postcard with the strange poem on Card Cow when I was searching for something fun for Mother's Day. The little girl and her dollies are adorable. How intent she is on her mending. Other than sewing on a button now and then and maybe sewing a seam that has opened, I don't remember when it was that I last mended anything. I actually did darn some socks in my early years of marriage and even turned one collar! One of those was enough!
Here is the back of the card - it actually was not a mother's day card since it is dated in August of 1911. I could search for when Mother's Day was started, but I am going to go have some breakfast instead. To all you moms, Happy Mother's Day. And to all, Happy PFF. To Beth , thank you again for being our hostess. Drop in to her blog and find lots of great postcards. (Click to enlarge)
Another great card, Carol. We're headed to an Antique Show here shortly, and one of the pieces I'm hanging is the Humpty Dumpty Doll Hospital piece which I posted a couple of months ago. I've got some other old doll paper to 'enhance', but haven't touched it - yet. Happy PFF, and a Happy Mother's Day to you if we don't touch base again before then!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I can remember knitting for my teddy when I was seven. Happy memories!
ReplyDeleteA very strange rhyme but a very cute picture! I can't imagine what way she plays with her dolls if she constantly has to mend their clothes!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful card. I remember doing some mending on some of my stuffed animals ... not always what they needed! Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the little girl's concentration. Happy PFF and Happy Mother's Day to you :D
