Way Back When-sday: Victorian Easter Cards
The Victorians knew how to make pretty greeting cards and they took every opportunity to send them to friends and family. I've always been fascinated with the elaborate designs and whimsical themes. How can you not feel all warm and fuzzy when you look at them?

Beautiful! My Grandma gave me a book of Victorian Valentine Cards from when she was young :)
ReplyDeleteI bet they're beautiful, Lisa! The Victorians have such a distinct style.
DeleteSo adorable! I especially like the chicks in a boat playing the mandolin. That is a mandolin isn't it? Or just a really old guitar??? lol
ReplyDeleteI am terrible with dates and if it weren't for facebook, I'd never even wish my husband a happy birthday...okay that might be a tad exaggerated but it's mostly true. Like mostly dead in the Princess Bride. ;)
Okay, I've had waaaay too much coffee this morning.
You know what you have, Jessica? Truuuuuuuuuuue Lovvvvvvve! :)
DeleteAw, cute! I don't send Easter greeting cards...I don't even send Christmas cards. Haha! But I love it when people send cards to me. LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteDo Cadbury mini-eggs count as an Easter tradition? 'Cause I love that. I also love singing the hymn "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" in my home church on Easter. One Easter, that church didn't do that hymn and I was so confused the whole service...waiting for that song... :)
Melissa, you're so good at sending meaningful gifts, though! I've been on the receiving end of quite a few! :) And I had a good laugh about your Easter song. I can totally picture you with a confused face, glancing around the church, wondering "What did they do with my song?!?!?!" :)
DeleteWow, those are lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like eating the chocolate. :-) That's a great tradition!
These cards are adorable! I rarely send greeting cards at Easter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Easter basket item is the chocolate bunny. :)
Bahaha, I'm cracking up at the chicks rowing a boat and playing the mandolin/banjo/whatever instrument that is.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to be so good about sending cards for all occasions! I must admit, I've never sent an Easter card...I usually don't even send birthday cards (just text, email, Facebook, etc.). But there is something awesome about receiving a card like that. And these are so cute!
I love those cards. They're Victorian, my favorite era. :-)
