Through my new blog buddy Designing dna,
I found this fun way to celebrate the beauty
of a postcard and some real mail!
Visit The French Factrice for Postcard Friday.
I cannot scan the front of this in...
as it is, it tore just attempting to scan it.
But I thout I would share this lovely little note
sent from my great-great aunt
to my great-great grandmother in 1915.
I wish you health.
I wish you wealth.
I wish you gold in store.
I wish you heaven after death.
What can I wish you more.

Oh that's so lovely! Things have changed so much with the internet. For the better, mostly, but we've lost so much of that beauty that did exist in the "true" written word...thank you for sharing!
Happy PFF! And wonderful wishes! ...right back at you!

That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? :) I love it. I have a bunch of old family letters and postcards too. I like looking at them. There's even a lock of hair in a love letter...
So cool, I love real mail :)
Thanks for including the historic inscription--I enjoy reading old yet meaningful notes and letters.

I love, love, love REAL mail. We relocate often, so to keep people in tune with where we live, I often send postcards.
And, why is it that older generations had such pretty handwriting?
Beautiful!
Glad you found me on FF. I've been meaning to come follow you- I see you on a lot of the other blogs I follow.
I love getting real mail! Too bad we hardly ever do that anymore. haha. What a find this is.
I really enjoyed reading this. Happy Vday babe!
Awesome! I have actually put on my to do list to send one handwritten note or letter every week to someone. I hate to see us lose that.

AWESOME! As one who has been a genealogist for many many years, I appreciate a good old handwritten letter any day of the week! Makes me wanna go poke through some old boxes of stuff RIGHT NOW! This is very cool!
Old postcards are awesome! I can't resist them at flea markets and antique shops. Yours is great!
How special, for you to have such a valuable piece of your personal history. What a lovely sentiment as well. Happy PFF
I love old treasures like that. Those items are so sacred, and I always think how interesting it is to have little pieces of your relatives' lives like little trinkets that tell stories of the past. Amazing. :) Stopping by from SITS.
Love it! I adore old tea colored notes..so romantic and nostalgic!
Looking forward to following your posts!
So lovely!
Happy Valentine's Day! :)
I love this post....Happy I read this
How sweet. So sad letters are becoming a thing of the past.

I have a giveaway on my blog you might like.
I love that letter between them. People of that generation wrote in rhyme more than we do, didn't they?
isn't that lovely.
I love this... what a great idea, and what a fantastic note.
What a lovely sentiment ... Happy late PFF!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you, that made me a little misty, actually!
Have a great week!
That is neat Holly!!~ I am finding through blogging I am making a lot of virtual pen pals....to me it is modern day pen pals...back then it was sending post cards and letters.....I miss a hand written note!!~ There was always something special with receiving one!!~
How nice Holly!
Thank you for entering my LL giveaway sweet friend.
~Blessings, ~Melissa :)
Vanity Fair this month has a good profile on John Hughes that you'd be interested in.....
What a nice sentiment. I ran across a notebook of my Grandmother's after she passed away last year and it was filled with similar notes and poems written to her from her friends. Text messaging may be fast but it won't last the years.
That is a delightful and heartfelt message, I love the sentiment behind it. May have to pass that along myself, there are many people that I wish those things for. Yourself included☺
