This has my vote for the ugliset postcard ever printed! This is a boudin noir sausage. It has a meat, blood, and apple filling. My son has started saying... C'est caca boudin (That's a poo sausage)... to anything and everything he doesn't like. This has turned into a disgusting post! Boys are so weird. This phrase is all the rage among 6 year old boys. Yuck!

Come sit and monkey around with me at the Royal Opera Café in Paris! This is still a hot spot for coffee guzzling Parisians. The interiour is sumptiously decorated and hasn't changed a bit in 100 years... except for the wifi:)

Cat cafés are popping up all over Tokyo, Japan! Feline fanciers pay by the hour to sip tea and play with a kitty. Many people simply don't have the time or space to properly take care of a pet. They are flocking to these cafés in order to fill a very base need.
I think this is such a marevelous idea! In France many shops and restaurants have resident pets. My hairdresser has a pooch that sits on my lap and snuggles while I get my haircut! Would you go to a cat, dog, or hamster café if one opened in your town?

wedding vintage postcards
Josephine Beauharnais wore violets in her hair when she married her little Nappy Bonaparte. She also had her dress emboidered with her favorite purple flower. Her devotion to this delicate blossom didn't stop there. Her favourite perfume was.. .. violet too! Isn't this wedding vintage postcard dreamy?

The lovely Con over at blogaire.blogspot.com sent me this gem! He wrote, "These Post Boxes predate Irish Independence and you can see the British Monarch's Crown on it. After the Irish Free State was set up after 1922 the cash strapped government couldn't afford new boxes so the just painted the red British ones green!" vintage postcards

I just got back from a darling little crêpe restaurant! I had a savoury ham, cheese and potato filled buckwheat crêpe topped with salad and a fried egg! I was a bit shocked the first time I saw a sunny side up egg staring up at me from my plate. It's a delicious combination though!
These little vintage postcard chickadees are drinking cider.. hiccup! The little 'Breton' (someone from Brittany) is holding a crêpe in his hand:) I used a fork myself!

Bacon dental floss would be nicely coupled with scrambled eggs toothpaste! I cant believe that this exists:)
Yes.. ...this IS a pig's foot vintage postcard. Ste Menehould is a region in France which is famous for pig trotters! Now I've seen everything.

I was watching Rita Hayworth movie clips on Youtube and then randomly fell on a 40's hairstyle tutorial! I couldn't believe how easy it was to realize a glam updo! I watched the tutorial, twisted it up, slapped on some red lipstick and felt like the cat's meow! Francois even said that he like my hair:) That just about gave me a heartattack! vintage postcards
Casting an eyeball on this video will run you a good ten minutes. But.... you could bookmark it and watch it later too:) The cutie patootie girl who made the video has a blog too! She seems like such a sweetheart!:)

Caption: Good for a quart of wine? This rat catching rascal deserves a gallon in my book! Henri Gervèse brilliantly depicted 'Our Sailors' in a now famous collection of humour filled postcards. Pure eye candy!

Goodnight! I'm going to cuddle up to this vintage postcard pillow that I found at Flax and Spindle. What a wonderful idea! The card was printed on cotton fabric and than handstitched to the linen 'oreiller' The vintage card is post marked Dec. 22, 1914 and includes a 1 cent US stamp! The handwriting really creams my coffee too!
I would love this in RED though. I'm going to write the seller and see if that's possible. I'll keep you updated!Enjoy this quirky post? Get future vintage postcard updates sent to you for free! Join by email or RSS

These little violet bonbons will transport your taste buds to the South of France. The whole flower is delicately crystallized in sugar. Sample and savour the sunlight of the Provence.. STOP! I'm starting to sound like a commercial! They are good though.:)

French children don’t look for eggs left by an Easter Bunny… rather, the kiddies believe that bells fly to Rome to see the Pope. After the Papal soirée the airborne ding-dongers head back bearing chocolate eggs and other goodies! (I am completely serious) I just bought a big package of foiled covered chocolate Easter bells! Yummy:)

The Youtube video is a hoot! It's short and has a VERY funny twist at the end!
The Paris was a 34,369 ton French ocean liner built in 1913 for the Compagnie Transatlantique. The champagne bottle busting maiden voyage was a post World War I event of 1921. That's quite a delay!
The Paris was the first steamer to have square first class stateroom windows as opposed to those unposh portholes:) Telephones were also an added luxury in select rooms. It was a floating bit of France itself!

Helppppp! I need advice! I don't want a foofy huge wedding dress. I found this one online but am not sure if it has enough razzmatazz! It is certainly elegant yet retains a perky, spring - in - your - step charm. What do you think? Should I order this one?

Are buttons really CUTE? The word 'cute' was originally a contraction of the word 'acute' which means bright or clever. At first the expression was 'bright as a button' ..... polished brass buttons are quite shiny:) It all makes sense now! The expression and the word have certainly evolved over the years. This vintage postcard boy certainly fits the current definition of cute!

I am:
| bedeviled, beset, bewitched, captivated, dogged, dominated, engrossed, fixated, gripped, held, hooked, infatuated, overpowered, plagued, possessed, preoccupied...... by Napoleon and vintage postcards! So.... I'm off to Napoleon, Ohio. I just want to say that I've been there! The largest Campbell's Soup plant is in this bustling town too! Maybe I can rustle up a bowl of Sirloin Burger Chunky Soup. I can already taste the hearty meaty broth:) Welll... I'm really just sick in bed with the book, The Road to St. Helena - Napoleon after Waterloo! PS. The video is one of the first Campbell soup commercials. |

The Empre State building's distinctive Art Deco Spire was originally designed to be a mooring mast and depot for zeppelins! The 102nd floor was originally a landing platform with a dirigible gangplank. 
A particular elevator, traveling between the 86th and 102nd floors, was supposed to transport passengers after they checked in at the observation deck on the 86th floor.

There was a sudden boom in postcards bearing the image of Mona Lisa after the theft of the painting on August 21st 1911! Jocund jokes like, "When will they swipe the Eiffel tower," were scrawled across postcard backs and sent to love ones. The smiling national treasure was found a few years later just kilometers from the Louvre in the kidnappers apartment!
This video is amazing! My kids love it too!

It was custom in rural England up to the 18th century to knock on the resident beehive after a death. The little honey makers were ensured that they were welcome to stay and solemnly advised not to follow their owner.
To neglect the custom was to risk the bees abandoning their hives, never to return! This vintage postcard gentleman is certainly overdoing it on the protective gear!
