Very cute! I love vintage stuff.

This is my first visit to your blog. I came via a post on Molly Lee Cards, and what attracted me was your last name, which is my maiden name! It's rare that I see the name Holden, so I wanted to see who you are. I ended up subscribing to your blog in Google Reader! :)

How precious.

And for some reason, her message to her dad about the dentist just makes me giggle.

Just found your blog - love it! I think we may have been separated at birth -- many of my interests match yours: vintage goodies, birds, eggs, old book covers, the animal cuts, and charm bracelets. My mom had a wonderful bracelet in sterling, which my sister (who prefers silver) inherited ... so I started my own 14K gold bracelet a few years ago. You can hear me jingling a block away - ha! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog and thank you for the free downloads (and links to others) . . . Barb in CA

That is so funny! Aren't old cards and letters wonderful?

Would you believe my Dad's name was Winfred?!?!?!?!? I have rarely come across it. He went by Bud his whole life though. He was born in 1921 so not a surprise I guess to find it on a 1920s card. Thanks for the image!

Awesome!! I love vintage post cards and have a collection of them. The notes on the back and the history are just as cool as the illustrations. I also LOVE the ball cap you re-made : )
