So, in honor of Washington's birthday, here's another of my vintage postcards that I started sharing with you earlier in the month. This one was sent to my husband's grandfather on February 23, 1910, and reads (uncorrected):
Wright soon (up in the corner)

I am working on a fun birthday-related drawing that I had hoped to post today, but it's not quite finished, and doesn't read well as a work-in-progress piece. It will be up here in the next couple of days!
Happy Birthday, George!
Charming vintage postcard. I too remember the differentiation between their birthdays and learning about both of them in school in February.
ReplyDeleteSick of having to be PC. Just let me celebrate our first president on his day and leave me alone!
ReplyDeleteI've never commented on your blog before, but have been enjoying it for some time. You must get tired of being told how talented you are, but I must join the throng and agree - you have an amazing talent.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your works with others.
Looking forward to the birthday drawing! I just love these old postcards--ancient e-mail with no spell check ;)
ReplyDeleteThe art on the postcard is beautiful and weird at the same time! Thanks for sharing it. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to birthday drawing too. Love the vintage postcard.
ReplyDeleteImagine sending a "President's Day" card now, the recipient would wonder what was it's purpose. I look forward to seeing your Birthday image.
