Happy Easter


These are some lovely old postcards that were found behind the baseboards in my grandmother's house when she was growing up. The owners of the house were doing some remodeling and found them and tracked down my one cousin to return the cards. So she gave them to me. They were sent to my grandma by her older sister who had married and moved away. This would have been around 1910. I had to smile at what she wrote on the back of one.
And I want to thank everyone who joined in this week, and added their photos and memories to the Easter Parade. It was so much fun visiting all your blogs and seeing the wonderful pictures. I really don't know how to close Mr Linky, but that's ok.. we'll leave it open.. so anyone can still add their photos next week.
And just as a side note.. these were my actual paper dolls and their clothes used for the button. You might think they look similar to some of the dolls in the new moda fabric line "Snippets" by American Jane.. and that's because they are!. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find the fabric too.

Happy Easter! Because this is what life is all about. May you have a blessed celebration.

See you next week!

I am in awe of the kindness of people who go out of their way to give "found" items back.

I tried to dig up my Easter dress photos, but they weren't handy. Perhaps I'll be ready for next year. It was a fun idea!
