Mariana T. sends Easter Greetings to All

how lovely

Thank you so much, sweet Mariana! :-) Easter for the Russian Orthodox is one week after yours because of the different calendars, but still it's my utmost pleasure to wish you most happy and meaningful holiday! :-)

Salud - S.

Thank you so much Svetlana and I wish you the same on your Easter!
Thank you Arleen - well, print this out and tack it up as well! These come from Montana I see - I have to trace this whole family of Schmidts - somehow the last owner ended up with them and I've had them for 27 years!
Thank you Nancy! Salud

That is such a beautiful card!

Can anyone read the handwriting? It's so interesting to me...Salud

Thank you so much David ! Salud

I really love these vintage cards. Have a Blessed Easter!

the first card talks about buying a lot of easter cards and getting some good photo shots, mariana.. the second talks about the Naval fleet arriving into the bay safely At san diego, and the writer is going to san pedro to watch the fleet steam in there. really cool stuff from 1908..thanks for sharing..:)

Thanks Kay M. good to see you and your peace sign!!!!

wow Penni - thank you for that translation!!! I so appreciate it - my handwriting is quite flowery too - now, I know that probably no one can read it either!!! Salud

Hi Mariana dear.
Just because I'm not active does not mean that I'm not with you.
Yes I could read those messages. They are beautiful because they are simple and totally sincere.
I regard the Easter weekend as the most important religious event in my calendar. It's when Jesus died for me...and you...and everyone.
It's the weekend that I'm reminded that my sins CAN be forgiven. I'm also reminded that I can forgive the sins of others who repent.
But that does not mean that I won't share a drink with you. I will drink my favourite "Rubicon". I'll lift my glass to you and know that you'll lift your glass to me.
Bless you dear Mariana.

I adore these vintage postcards! Have a blessed Easter!

i love how us closet collectors come out into the light as soon as someone posts something we love! can't live without old postcards, letters, trade cards and the like, especially holiday ones.
happy easter to you and r and all the fuzzies.

Great vintage greeting cards, Mariana. An Easter Greeting back at ya on this ´Holy Thursday, Passover, jueves santo´ from Granada. Hope you are enjoying as splendid weather there in Santa Barbara as we are here in Andalucía!

Oh Mona - girl, I'm not a closet anythang - come to my house and you'll see every card twig flower post card that anyone has blessed me with...all here in some kind of arty farty arrangement between the dusty baby grand and the distress fireplace - who has room for a dining room - ours is filled with trivia and tschotzkis or however shotskis is spelled lol..I know it starts with a T (duh)! I have to have the old stuff around - as I've never lived in a new house (nor will I ever) in my life - old ghosts are my best friends...yes, keeper of the flame here - Mariana's Museum Honors all Grandmothers everywhere - old uncles have their place here as well - old school marms - yes, I kept those old C report cards my dear old dad had to sign - thankfully, he never looked at my grades - lol....
thanks Sistah and remember don't eat too much sweet stuff!
Salud Mona
Awww Ralph - how sweet - thank you!

Fred - omg - what a very pleasant surprise my dear goblet lifting friend - I salute you and lift the crystal - may you be blessed with peace on this Easter. I miss you though you are always with me as well and I shall jump over to your space for a visit now that I know that you're about!!! Salud Fred

A lovely Easter greeting & Easter Wishes going your way...

Your sentimentality is showing, and it's lovely, Mariana. Thank you for thinking of us and sharing. Have a Happy Easter.

Happy Easter

My kids and I don't celebrate Easter now that the kids are too old for the Easter Baskets.

But for you, my sweet friend, I'll wish a Happy Easter.

(I do hope someone brings me some ham.)

you have a happy one also, M....:)

Lovely forget-me-nots and sentiments - have a wonderful Easter, as well, Mariana.

Those flowers are called "Forget Me Not". They are so beautiful and delicate. They grow wild under a giant privet tree that shades a garden I have set aside to remember dear friends now gone. The Forget Me Nots grew there entirely on their own, possibly dropped by a passing bird who knew the garden's intent.
Mysteries are everywhere.
Thank you for sharing these lovely cards, Mariana.

Kenn - so nice to see you my friend - where's the lovely flower once tucked behind your ear? It really did jazz you up! Ok well, I love the fact that you have a garden like that and what a sweet universal act to drop seeds in such a special place...I do love Forget Me Nots - delicate and old-fashioned. Thanks for dropping by Kenn - it's always fun to see you...yes, mysteries are everywhere and my gardens are filled with them as well! Salud

Blessings, Sistah Mariana! I love the vintage postcards. Have a very happy Easter!!

Easter greetings to you as well Mariana! Beautiful images...I collect old postcards, and I am always fascinated by the stories that each one tells.

Chris, what a wonderful thought ! I think so and I'm glad you do as well - blessings. Salud

I love it when you post these old cards. I too enjoy the old pictures as much as the messages written on them....plus, the stamp.

That's a neat story, Mariana. I like old greeting cards as well. I've got a few stashed around here and I still enjoy the glimpse into another time.

Wow, that is so beautiful. I love items from long ago as well. Thank's for sharing the postcards. And a very Happy Easter to you!!!

I love the old cards. I have a few out for Easter too. Hope you have a Happy Easter.

I'm staying focused and walking, drinking the water and eating my oatmeal daily and I always get a lot of veggies. A Large Green Salad with left over veggies is my lunch daily. I limit myself to 2 to 3 fruits a day. I don't need a weight chart. I step on the scales once a week and I'm down one pound from when we started. My clothes are looser and that feels good. I put myself on a weight loss program over a month ago and your wisdom just re-enforces that. Thanks so much.

very pretty.

Reflecting back the love you share with all who cross your path.
We are the lucky ones.

Here's lookin' at you, Sistah!

Oh my how precious - this made my morning Jan. SAlud

Happy Easter Mariana... hope you have a great day!

Thank you so very much, John S. Always nice to see you as I don't see you too much anymore. Salud

Happy Easter, Mariana!

Same to you and yours. I am Stephanie's daughter, just stopping in to say hello. I hope to meet you this summer, I have a baby daughter who is a silly one. Anyways, same wishes back to you.

Kenn T. knew the flowers were forget me nots. I was going to tell you this because I didn't think anyone would know. LOL The post cards are indeed beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us.

There are so many friends on our friends lists and so many articles being posted that it's very difficult to say hello to everyone. I thank you very much for stopping to say hello to me. A big "hello" to you to. I hope today will be your best day yet.

That old artwork is SO COOL !! Love it !!!

Thank you, Mariana! This is so beautiful!
