~ Antique Easter Postcards ~

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. As for us we are getting ready for a little Easter decorating after church around our home. But for starters I will share our collection of antique Easter postcards. Some of them are dated from 1904-1914. Some of them have sweet Easter greetings for the receiver of the card.


I'm not sure about this card above but it looks like the person who received this one, was reminded too called their friend Arizona Jack.


We took theses pictures out in the garden hoping it would be a great back drop for the cards.

Thank You for stopping by today and we hope you all have enjoyed the cards. We hope to be able to share some more of our collection as it gets closer to this wonderful day ..............Julian&Ray Today I will be linking to ~ Cottage Flora Thursday's ~ ~ Vintage Thingie Thursday ~ ~ Open House Party ~ ~ Vintage Inspiration Friday~ and also at ~ French Country Cottage ~ ~ Show And Tell Friday ~ and ~ Saturday ShowOff ~

    I love the designs on antique post cards! I used to put mine out on the desk for the different holidays. Haven't done that in a while but perhaps I should!

    The post cards are adorable. I am thinking I better get my Easter projects started because it is going to be here before I know it. Have a wonderful week.

    Oh my sweetness these pretty Easter cards are divine! I love you garden as the back drop! I got out and toodled around in my yard clearing the brush out and such and then it got cold again. This week it is supposed to be in the 50's and I would love to plant something that I won't kill. Roses would be nice but I am struggling to keep the mini rose my husband bought me at Valentines Day alive :) I can't wait to see more of your beautiful garden!
    Hugs,
    Olivia

    I LOVE those post cards and what a great idea to take them to the garden for the photo shoot! I'm going to borrow your idea if you don't mind! That's a much better way to show them off.

    Happy Spring ya'll from Houston, TX

    The cards are beautiful on their own but the flowers...yes, definitely a good backdrop to say the least! So lovely, as always:) I'm sure it's hot there, here it's in the high 80's. Stay cool!

    Your cards are fabulous. Love how you have them arranged outside. I like the one with the two chicks tugging on the worm. I guess it's time to pull out my Easter decor.

    Hi guys! The postcards are adorable and thank you for sharing these at my party. I have a couple of Easter ones that were sent to me as a child. I guess they would be considered antiques now!! I am so envious of your blooming plants. We had sleet yesterday in Richmond.
