Vintage Postcards - St. Patrick's Day

Erin Go Bragh

Since I share vintage postcards all the time I'm guessing that I have already posted this one. Oh well. I am sure you will be getting many duplicates over time.

If you are interested in the origins of the phrase Erin go Bragh then click HERE. For all I know, I have probably already shared that as well. I get so confused!

Along those same lines - my advice for any person starting a blog - be SURE to use tags correctly and smartly when posting from the very beginning. It will help so much in finding things in the future! I wish so badly that i had done that.

It's all about the green...

I'm pretty excited this year because I have time to decorate for St. Patty's Day. I don't have much stuff, but what I do have I love. And I haven't been able to use it in years it seems -- but since Easter is not until April 24th this year - I will have plenty of time to enjoy some green before the bunnies make their appearance!

Happy Valentine's Day -- Freaky Vintage Style

Apparently people ripping out of hearts said I love you in days gone by...

Seriously. Who came up with this idea? And it was definitely a thing because I have come across a tone of them. Kids. Adults. Whole bodies. Just faces. You name it - you can find it ripping out of a heart.

Wait a minute. Is it Valentine's Day or Thanksgiving? I'm confused.

Bring It. Don't Sing It.

...unless it's a Christmas carol. And then it is ok.

Welcome Christmas!

Happy Birthday America!

There is nothing like a little man-chick smoking a cig for a festive Easter Greeting...

I'm just guessing that this Valentine wouldn't fly at school these days...

And come to think of it... maybe teaching kids to play with matches isn't such a good idea either...

I'm disturbed.

So I just went to one of my favorite sites, cardcow.com to look at some vintage Christmas postcards and I come across this one. It frightens me on so many levels. Kinda like the vintage ornament that used to be on my mom and dad's Christmas tree that was a picture of Santa stuffing a screaming and kicking child into his sack. Lol. We still talk about that one in our family. I wish I could find a picture of it.
