Some are mailed from Germany or England...
and some were treasured but never used......
Fluffy yellow Chicks---"peeps"!---were popular....often with adorable grumpy faces and sweet blue forget-me-nots.
Other flowers were popular too....
This card is from France...my grandma grew lilies of the valley that she brought from her parents' home in Europe.....
Violets too---all the precious old fashioned, charming flowers....
And this is my favorite:
Sort of---Easter on the Long Island Railroad? I remember the old cars like this!
No, oops, the Easterville R.R. Such imaginitive details: the chicky engineer at the front of the train!...the chicky porter, handing out suitcases, wearing his porter's cap at the rear; the blue parasol; the curious commuters peeking out! And that bad boy riding on top---is he sneaking a smoke?? So sweet!
Other cards/details: below~Tiny Easter dress c.1920: notice her little shoes! And what's that under her arm? A bunny in a cage? Don't you wonder what she's telling the chicks?
And I love this Easter egg tree, so naturalistic, with the willow branches in bloom...
Happy Easter!
Happy Springtime!
love,
lizzy
