Merry Christmas!

Not just one, but two images to wish you a Merry Christmas! The first is an old snapshot of my Mom (on the bike) and my Grandma on Christmas morning years ago. From my Mom's age, I'd say it was the late 1940s or about 1950. I just love the look on her face!
This postcard was sent on Christmas Day in 1909 from Reno, Nevada. It's a gorgeous card made by "Tuck's Post Card - Raphael Tuck & Sons, Art Publishers to their Majesties the King & Queen". There's even a royal seal printed in the corner. What I love about this one is that it's embossed with texture on the trees and ground, and then given a final layer of gilt in the emboss. These extra steps definitely made it a more expensive card, but the effect is lovely.
Wishing all of you a wonderful, happy and healthy Christmas full of everything you want - or at least lots of thoughts about how to get what you want in the coming year! Wishing all of you love and joy...
