This beautiful vintage Easter Greetings postcard features illustrations of a girl holding a bouquet of pussy willows, four fluffy yellow chicks, and a large egg on a wooden pull cart. The girl is dressed in a lovely mauve colored dress, with a dark purple sash at the waist and a dark purple bow at the collar. She is seated on a post of a fancy white pull cart that has a large white egg in the seat. The egg is tied with a purple ribbon tied into a bow and the cart has been decorated with many purple flowers and ribbons. The message on the postcard is: Easter Greetings.
The postcard hasn’t been postmarked but the back space is filled with a handwritten message, dated April 6/12, from John to Miss Beth. It reads, “I received your very welcome card O.K. and should have answered it before, but I am afraid I am neglectful, but in future I will answer all your cards within a week after I receive them. Yes I have brown eyes, the picture in the Valentine is not a good one, it is just a snap shot we took outside one day. I would like very much if you would send me one of yourself. I suppose you must think it strange that I did not come up last Sept., after promising, but I could not see my way clear, but I am going to try to this summer. I am not going on the shovel again, it is a hard life. Now try and answer this soon and I promise you I will. This is a little late to send an Easter card, but I hope you had a pleasant time Easter anyway. Good bye for this time.”

Awww, I love seeing the handwriting!! The house we moved into this last Summer was built in 1911, so my love for vintage things has grown even more <3 Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
You’re welcome, Jennifer. Congratulations on moving into a house that was built in 1911… nice! 😊 I hope you are keeping well. ❤️
Such a sweet Easter postcard, it makes you want to know more behind it, if they ever got together ect.
Hope you are staying well!
That’s funny, Connie. I too wish we could know more of the story. Even though John was “neglectful”, Miss Beth must have liked him because she kept the postcard, and she kept it in pristine condition. 😊
I am well, thank you. I hope you are keeping well also. ❤️
