Good Cheer I Wish You For 2011 Vintage New Year Postcard

This is the last of my vintage New Year postcards. They are so pretty. I love this one. The snow is falling and we have a carriage with two pretty horses taking the some one to a party.

There is even some one playing a horn at the back of carriage. So festive don't you agree.

Best wishes for much happiness and prosperity in the New Year

This post card is also from the time period of 1907 to 1914 with the divided back and the word post card on it.

No message so we can not peek into what some one was thinking as they bought it.

I want to wish all my Friendship Friday friends a Happy New Year .. Grace

Vintage New Years Post Card Watching The Sands Of Time

Count down to a New Year... it is hard to believe it will be 2011 in just a few days.
With this darling vintage postcard, we have a darling young angel watching the sands of time pass.
Just waiting for the New Year to come and his turn to be in the spot light.

Happy New Year

Happy hours and happy days

Happiness a million ways,

May the new year bring to you

With great success in all you do.

I guess it can not be said much better than that in this simple postcard that was published by the Gibson Art Co. of Cincinnati.

The back is divided and is probably from the time period of 1907 to 1914.

A Bright New Year Message In Our 1900's Vintage Postcard

Well good evening every one.

It is Christmas night and we have had a wonderful holiday.

Spent time with come of our children and grandchildren.

The fun will continue next week with more visiting of family.

We are now nearing New Years Eve and time to share some of my vintage New Years Postcards.

The vintage postcards is unused. I am guessing that it is from the early 1900's. Our pretty card tells us this wonderful message

A Bright New year

In hope your New Year will be spent
in cheer and comfort and content.
And every task you set to do
Will bring a bright reward to you

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me... please take a moment and look at some of my other vintage postcards.

I sure hope that you stop by again really soon... Grace

Wishing You A Merry Christmas With A Few Thoughts From Me

Meet my great nephews and neice.. are they not adorable.. Boy do I miss seeing those faces weekly.

As this wonderful Christmas holiday approaches us I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray that we all welcome in a wonderful New Year. I pray that our next year is better and more prosperous than the last for all of us.

As we share the holidays with our family and friends lets please think and pray for those that are less fortunate then us. Pray for the hungry, the homeless and those suffering from addictions , diseases and mental illness. My one thought always is " but for the grace of God there go I ".

Lets take a moment and pray for our service men and service women. And for those that are in harms way in a foreign country give them an extra thought and prayer. Pray for their families that are left here to deal with every day happenings without them. The majority of them do so much for so little.

Lets pray for our government officials that they have the wisdom to do what is best for all of us and the knowledge to do it with out fighting.

If you are still blessed to have your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts be thankful. Take a moment to hug and kiss them. Take a few minutes and ask them to share their stories with you. Some day sadly they will be gone and you will then wish that you knew more of their history.

I am reminded of a conversation at my hubby's birthday party. I made a comment about getting married the first time and my step son and his family had never heard that story. I have been married to husband #2 for almost 22 years. We celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 30Th of December. They know very little about my history. That is probably my fault and maybe some of theirs.

This is hubby and me 10 years ago at a dinner theater on New Years eve. Guess it is time to get a new nice picture of us. He still has the tie and I probably still have that outfit. Question is can I still get into it.

So much contact today is emails and text messages. I personally detest text messages saying" happy anything " Take a moment and call your family. Here a voice and say I love you to some one. When I get one I just delete it as if it did not happen.

Except for one text message from my grand daughter Kirsten. She sent me one and it is of a loud " Kiss " and "I Love You "I play it often. It was not sent for a birthday, Christmas message or any reason other than she thought of me and sent it. Grandpa got one too. Thanks Kirsten I smile when I replay it.

I am busy always searching and writing about my ancestors but I guess it is time to do some sharing of my life in writing. How I wish I had more of my parents, grandparents and past relatives stories. There are so many stories untold. As I share some of my life on my family blog site I have been printing some of them so I can give to family in the future.

Now with all of that I will leave you for now. It is time to make another pot of coffee, put on one of my favorite Christmas movies " Love Actually " with Hugh Grant and make my Watergate Salad for our Christmas eve party tonight.

I appreciate all of you that take a moment to visit my sites and to those of you who leave a message an extra thank you . Merry Christmas to you and your families .. Grace

Santa Is Wishing You A Merry Christmas Vintage Postcard 1915

Christmas is really creeping up on us, isn't it. This is my first Christmas in Minnesota in five years. Hubby and I spent 3 years in Southern California and then 1 1/2 in in Texas. No snow for all those Christmas.

We are now in Duluth and there is snow on the ground. Even though I hate the cold, icy roads and everything that goes with winter, it is so beautiful.

Here is another of my vintage Christmas postcards... we have Santa in his red suit going down the chimney. What happens if you do not have a chimney? That is what I wondered when I was a little girl.

This lovely card is postmarked 1915 Wisconsin and sent to a child by the last name of Butler of Janesville Wisconsin. Sadly the postmark goes over the first name.

Message is Dear Letha (hard to make out first name with the writing). I have never heard of Letha.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and many presents. I am sure you have been a good girl and deserve them.

with love

Wilma L Bouibeau ?

Front of postcard says

Here I come the broad

chimney flue,

Bringing best Christmas wishes to you!
