vintage easter postcard images...

got a few more ready this morning...

these are embossed, hand painted or airbrushed...

I have seen them listed both ways...

every image was found online and then I take them, straighten them...
and I edit each and every one...
to bring out the beauty that was once there...

how they would have looked before time took it away...

even the borders are added...
these are my favorite to collect and I have several of my own...
but you have already seen them...

and then I decided to see what these embossed ones looked like in sepia tones...

how they would have started out before they were hand painted...

the hand painted varies so much from card to card...
there were good painters and bad painters...

these postcards, from the dates I have seen on them...
range from 1890s to 1910s...

so much detail work in some of them...

so, take what you want and use them this easter...
I still have more to post, so if these are not to your liking...
check back in later...

we are thawing out and its slushy out there...
beats the ice...
;)
be safe today

the worst is over...

we got a little of everything last night...

4 inches of snow, sleet and ice...
but its up to 33 already and the sun's not up yet...
so we should melt pretty quickly...
sorry to those who got a foot or more of the snow...
or more ice...
this storm really hit some areas so hard...
we got just a taste of it, and glad its through here...

have a good day and hope everyone gets dug out...
or just hunker down and stay put today...
hugs
