Easter postcards (& 'Like' us on Facebook!)

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. Here are the Easter postcards from Mary Moriarty's collection. I especially like the one with the Easter Bunny riding an egg carriage with another bunny & a chicken pulling like stagecoach horses!

Happy New Year!

In trying to come up with a New Year themed post, I was at a loss until I thought of Miss Mary Moriarty's post cards. You may recall I used one in my May 5, 2011 post about girl baby names. Well, in this collection are two New Year's post cards that I thought I would share with you.

This card was postmarked December 31, 1906 in NYC. There is no indication of who it is from. Was Mary in NYC for the New Year & mailed it back to herself? It's hard to tell in this image, but the background is a pretty luminous silver.

Front New Year post card- 12/31/1906

Back of card showing postmark & 1 cent Franklin stamp

This one is postmarked Saratoga Springs, January 1, 1907 12 M. I'm assuming that means 12:00 a.m. Midnight! Very cool.

The handwriting says "From J.P.D 12/31/06"

See where the postmark says 12 M... Another Franklin 1 cent

There a quite a few more cards in the collection. I'll share some with you throughout the upcoming year.

Happy 2012!
