Last week my aunt Wilma gave me two pairs of some very old
clogs – she also gave me an old post card that my Grandmothers, Grandmother
received from her brother many years ago.

It is a Christmas greeting and I just love this
image of a child on a sled.

Post Card
I’m fascinated by the address – it is addressed to the city
of Luck “Vis” (Wisconsin) and “Noramerika” (North America) and no zip code!.

And look at his handwriting!
I love the curls in the “e” and “g”

ReplyDeleteoh how pretty. I love the way you've photographed it. It looks so holiday-ish with the oak leaves and acorns.
ReplyDeleteOh is that postcard just priceless and so cute!!! You are really blessed to have it now, and thanks for sharing it with us today. I agree on the handwriting and pretty curly strokes.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think it found the people it was meant for with just that as an address. I guess the world was smaller then.That postcard with the lovely image and handwriting, as well as the family connection, is a wonderful find for sure.
ReplyDeletePost card sent to your Great Grandma from her brother in Denmark wishing her Merry Christmas. Found it with your Grandma Helen's things. I can see why she still had it - such a cute picture. I knew you would treasure it as much as I did. Wilma
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hand writing is such a lost art. So cool that you have this.
ReplyDeleteYour Grandma would be so pleased that you find such joy in her treasures.
