vintage postcards
According to Alsatian tradition children wanting a sibling could coax the baby bringing stork by leaving a sugar cube on the windowsill. I've hidden the sugar, Splenda, and honey in my house just to be on the safe side!

Claude - You found a postcard from your Grandfather? Wow! I can't wait to see it!
June - Thanks! I am doing well:) Noah is home from the hospital so I'm a happy Mommy!
Ha! At first when the title came in, I thought you were going to make an announcement to us...
Of course I love this one! ;)
And what about these little girls born in roses and boys in cabbages ? That's for other areas than Alsace ?
I like this Alsatian trdition. More beautiful than the other one, especially if one's expecting a baby boy.
Oh yes, that lovely lady would have to loose that corset if the stork comes!
Hmmm...I'm with you...I'm off to hide all sweeteners!
Interesting story and card!
that is too funny. I love the facial expressions in so many of your vintage cards. So you have a stork and cabbages in France?
Certainly having the stork do the duty is preferable to this gal losing her corseted 20-inch waist!
Great postcard. Now I am trying to find something for PFF.

In modern times, children wanting a sibling continue a version of this tradition by replacing actual pills with sugar pills in birth-control pill containers.
CUTE!! Blessings
I hope they didn't try to wear those corsets when they were pregnant.
Hmmm...I think I'll hide all my sugar too!
