Easter greetings from the past
In my collection of old post cards, I have quite a few Easter greetings. The postmarks range in date between 1912 and 1922. Some of the cards are not postmarked, so they must have been delivered personally.
I like the hand-written message on the back of one. It says, very briefly, ‘write me a good long letter’ !
Post cards are even rarer than letters in our world of emails and tweets. But a card is so much fun to receive. My brother and sister-in-law often send me greeting cards through the year and I keep a string in the corner of the living room to display them.
The ‘chick’ is a popular theme on the post cards. I thought I would share them with you…

Love the Easter cards in your collection – I enjoy receiving postcards and greeting cards, too. When someone goes on a trip and asks me what I’d like to have as a souvenir, I always ask them to send me a postcard for my collection. It’s such a simple pleasure! Hope you had a very joyful Easter, Jane…
