Co-hosting You're the Star Blog Hop Family Feature Week

It sounds like the weather is starting to be more pleasant for most of the country so I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.  I had a wonderful low key but very productive weekend so I am a happy girl.  Unfortunately when I woke this morning I realized I have a routine MRI scheduled this afternoon.  I hate those things!  Sigh... Anyway

Before we get started with the blog hop I would like to share a post was from last week on Butterfly In The Attic:

Postcard Memories - Edwardian Period

I love looking at old Edwardian period postcards.  It amazes me when I see the ladies in full and elaborate dresses, hiking, swimming etc.  I would have burst into flames or tripped and killed myself in one of those gowns.  Have to admire these tough ladies.

I now have quite a collection and many listed at  PostcardsInTheAttic on HipPostcards

Here are a few from different periods including my own Digital Art Creation!
Vintage Postcard, Trummelbach Falls at Laterbrunnen's in Zurich Switzerland
Copenhagen Denmark Frederiksberg Park pre 1907 Undivided Back Postcard Vintage
Rotton Row Hyde Park London Real Photograph Street Scene Horse and Buggies
Proper Lady with Gentleman Beautiful Green Edwardian Dress with Parasol Postcard

Co-hosting You're the Star Blog Hop Creative Feature Week

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all those wonderful moms out there. I hope your weekend was full of fun and family.  We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Mother's Day with my daughter, Ashley, and I was able to talk with all of my sons and their wives/girlfriends.  I am very blessed to have such wonderful and inspiring people in my life.  I can't wait to see what everyone has been busily working on this week.

But before we get started with the blog hop I would like to invite you to view one of my favorites from Last Week on Butterfly In The Attic:

Happy National Postcard Week 2019

Just like other holidays National Postcard Week snuck up on me.  This year NPCW runs May 5-11 and if you are a detiologist you are in heaven!  Imagine a week celebrating our hobby, creating, collecting and mailing postcards!  The official first week was in 1984.

Most years I have held my own swap in addition to joining a large group of enthusiasts from a Yahoo club I joined years ago.  This year I just did the latter but will be looking forward to getting the gang back together for National Postcard Week 2020.  If you are interested in the joining the larger group or just want more information in general there is an article on the Antique Trader Click Here

If you would like to purchase any of my National Postcard Week Postcards visit me on  PostcardsInTheAttic on HipPostcards.  You will find most of these fun cards here along with 100's of vintage and handmade cards.  If you are looking for something specific please email me and I will get back to you within 24 hours PostcardsInTheAttic [@] Gmail.com

Here are Mine and Ashley's postcards for 2019!

This is my card and available for sale on HipPostcard
