Postcard - Easter Bunnies Stole the Eggs

I didn't plan to post this many postcards in a row, but it is tax season and I am married to a CPA.  It is also soccer season and my behind is logging some time on the bleachers watching my oldest boy play for his team.  And so, the time to take pics for the blog is escaping me, and I am left with sharing another postcard.  However, it is Easter time and these turn of the last century graphics are very lovely.

 

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!

Postcard - Easter Girl and Chick

I have some really cute Easter postcards

This is one of my favorites.

 It was never mailed, but is marked

I really like it in blue toile.  So cute!

Postcard - Birds and Flowers!!!

Happy First Day of Spring!!!

Where I live in Oklahoma our day started out below freezing, but the temps will be in the 70's before today is finished.

 

Such teasing and taunting........we want to be planting things, but the frost threat is still there.

And yet, who can help but enjoy a beautiful sunny day like today?

I think I shall go buy some plants anyway.

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!

Postcard - Turn of the Century Beauty

Here is a postcard that was mailed on August 12, 1908, of a real beauty.  The card says "Made in Germany" on the back, so perhaps she is a Fraulein.  

  She didn't look very good when I started, 

 but I think she cleaned up quite nicely.

How pretty!

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!

Postcard - Shirley Temple Girl

This postcard reminds me of Shirley Temple, doesn't it you?  It is not her, because this postcard was mailed on July 17, 1908, and Shirley Temple was not born until 1928.  It is so cute though.

If you use this design in any of your crafting, I would love for you to come back and share your idea.  I have to figure out something to make out of the creamy one!

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!

Postcard - Lucky Girl

Here is another vintage postcard I'd love to share with you.  She doesn't necessarily look Irish, but the horseshoe kind of works.

 The restored postcard

 In Black and White

Here she is green.

And, here I cropped and edited to make a nice round shape.  I'll show you what I have planned for this is a couple of days.

Enjoy!

Postcard - Roses & Place cards

Warm weather is almost here......I hope, I hope, I hope.......

which means roses will soon be, as well!

 Here is a pretty rose postcard that would make a beautiful 

place card for your Easter table, or Mother/Daughter Tea.

The restored original.

In Black and White, in case you want to tint 

a specific color,  such as:

A lovely Periwinkle-Purple.

So rosey.

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!

Postcard - St. Patrick's Day

My hubby has box full of hundreds of postcards from the early 1900's that were mailed to his Great Aunt Hattie (don't you just love her name?).  They are so wonderful, I just have to share from time to time.  Here is one you can use for St. Patrick's Day decor.

This is the original one all cleaned up

I tinted this one with some green

And made this one completely green

I'd love to see a pic if you use them to make something pretty!

Thanks for stopping by the Tub!
