Vintage Halloween Postcards

In the tradition of, I guess, pointing at Santa Claus in his sleigh on Christmas Eve, here you have a little child pointing out a witch flying on her broom with a full moon on Halloween night. The black cat is a nice touch. I like the vintage look of the Halloween postcard.











The cat in the vintage Halloween postcard below is also a great addition to the theme, and appears to be the center of attention, as it raises it back as the witch is stirring up the floor with her broom. All those nasty little critters coming out of the kettle boiling in the fireplace looks great as well.






Classic Halloween Car Designs

Here are a couple of great classic Halloween designs on cars. The first one below includes all that you think of when thinking of Halloween, including the scary trees, ghosts, and overall "haunted" look.




With the second car we have that great big pumpkin on the hood and grill, which looks awesome, to say the least. These would be a lot of fun during the Halloween season, and would generate a lot of attention.

Vintage Valentine Cards

I'll always be fascinated by vintage cards of any sort, as there seems to be a timelessness about them which not only reminds you of days gone by, but of a time you wish would return, in its simplicity and innocence. Here's a look a number of Valentine postcards and cards to remind us of these wonderful times, and time in our lives.

The Valentines card and postcards speak for themselves.














I really like the vintage Valentine postcards right above and right below. Mostly it's because of the wonderful vintage clothing and hats the women of that day wore. It gives a snapshot of that period of time, along with the timeless expression of love toward their man.
















What I really like about these vintage, antique Valentine cards is the wholesomeness and winsomeness associated with them. None of the snarky, edgy stuff you see today; just a sincere expression of how a person felt for the other.
