Some Vintage Easter Postcards for you...♥

Oh, I have been such a bad, bad, blogger!

Bad.

 

I hope all of you have had a joyous Easter!

 

I don't know what has happened to me with my posting lately,

 

but it isn't a good thing!

 

I've seen people stop blogging because they weren't getting anything

 

else done, but contrary to that, I don't seem to get anything of note

 

done if
I don't post about it anymore...

 

So, I'm not going anywhere!

 

♥

 

Honestly, though, until last weekend I thought we still had about

 

three weeks until Easter...

 

I was in my own little world...

 

I was going to get so many creative things done to share....

 

But, like Grumpy Cat says..."Nope".

 

 

As with Christmas, I seem to be inspired anew by the day itself

 

and then continue the celebration for a few more days!

 

So, I may do that.

 

Bear with me!

In the meantime, here are some more vintage postcards...

 

(For next year, right?)

 

Pretty large files, so you could use them for lots of projects;

 

if you need larger pics of the horizontal ones, let me know ~

 

I'm happy to share them!

 

They're just fun to look at, too!

I love the Easter Bells story!



From Wikipedia...



Church bells are silent as a sign of mourning for one or more days before Easter in The Netherlands, Belgium and France. This has led to an Easter tradition that says the bells fly out of their steeples to go to Rome (explaining their silence), and return on Easter morning bringing both colored eggs and hollow chocolate shaped like eggs or rabbits.

In both The Netherlands and Flemish-speaking Belgium many of more modern traditions exist alongside the Easter Bell story. The bells ("de Paasklokken") leave for Rome on Holy Saturday, called "Stille Zaterdag" (literally "Silent Saturday") in Dutch.

In French-speaking Belgium and France the same story of Easter Bells (« les cloches de Pâques ») bringing eggs from Rome is told, but church bells are silent beginning Maundy Thursday, the first day of the Paschal Triduum.

And just when this little tabby kitty had the perfect shade of lilac!

Look at these bunnies! Mr. B said they looked carnivorous...



Katie said they looked like scary donkeys



and Jonathan said they looked "pig-like", even down to their feet!



I think they kind of look like chubby lambs.



Chubby mean lambs....

I'm always drawn to the "painting eggs/artist" ones!

Not sure about these Egg People...;^)

Knitting socks...hmmm...



~

Ha, ha!



Though I have to say, if a rooster appeared on my bed



bearing colored eggs and pussy-willow branches,



I would probably have the same reaction!

Jonathan said he thought these were a little "disturbing"! ;^)



Don't they remind you a little of that moon in the Little Caesar's commercials,



saying "Pizza time!!" ~



 (Which creeps me out just a little, yet I have to watch it each time!) ~

Don't you think this one wins for the oddest Easter postcard ever??



More posts coming...



Love,

 

Sharing these at Beverly's Pink Saturday, as well!
