Our family celebrated two birthdays this week (granddaughter, Esther, 5 and granddaughter, Hannah, 1), so I thought it would be appropriate to share one of Grandma's birthday postcards this week.
Interestingly enough, I find the message and information on the back of this card a bit odd. It is addressed to Miss Maudie McCann, McPherson, Kansas. The card is dated November 20th, 1911, but there is no stamp and no postmark.
Perhaps whoever sent the card just liked the card, or perhaps it was the only one she had to give, but my grandmother's birthday was April the 5th (she would have turned 16-years-old in 1911).
The sender had a fine hand and wrote a simple message:
My grandmother had no sister named Viola...so...it's all a bit of a mystery to me.
Either way, it's a pretty card and I thought it definitely worth sharing.
Here are this week's birthday girls, Esther and Hannah.
These are two of Grandma Maudie's many great, great granddaughters. She'd be so proud! 💗
Until next time,
~Rebecca

Vintage cards from that day and time are hard to come by; Historic, and irreplaceable, to be cherished, like the memory of there original owner. Truly a window into a bygone era!

Yes, they are (hard to come by, historic, and irreplaceable) and I do so cherish the memory of my grandmother and the collection of vintage postcards that she left behind. Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment! Blessings! <3
