Europe is buzzing with excitment! Tonight the famed Eurovison will be aired:) It's a singing contest! Each country picks a representative to sing their heart out and hopefully win. It is the most watched non sporting event in Europe!
This punchy youtube video showcases the 1965 winner France Gall with her song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" (Doll of wax, doll of sawdust) It's such a catchy ditty!Enjoy this quirky post? Get future vintage postcard updates sent to you for free! Join by email or RSS.

Our vintage postcard chap is proud of a pretty puny fish. I read in National Geographic that fishermen in northern Thailand recently netted a 646 pound (293 kilo) catfish in the Mekong river! It was nearly nine feet long (2.7 meters) and as big as a grizzly bear!
Catfish taste really good. Not in reference to how they taste to us, but rather their ability to taste! Catfish have over 27,000 taste buds. Humans have only 9,000!

Does bathing in fresh strawberry juice sound sumptuously sticky? Madame Talien, who was a social figure during the French Revolution, kept her complexion radiant with this messy method of washing!
Twenty-two pounds of crushed strawberries made up the bathwater that went into her tub! 
She was arrested and jailed for being the wife of an aristocrat during the French Revolution. Madame flirted her way out of being guillotined. She divorced and became a champion of Liberalism! Maybe strawberries saved her scented neck? I'll stick with my classic bar of Ivory! What kind of soap do you use?

Fifi Flowers is a prodigy with a paintbrush! Look at the razzmatazz she gave this vintage image! Her paintings are vibrant, vivacious, and deserve their own verb. It's been Fified! Notice the touches of added oh la la! I spy the Eiffel tower and a pastry shop:) My walls will soon be plastered by her work! How could I possibly resist?

Here is a Fête des Mères (Mother's Day) vintage postcard:) Maman is being presented with an artichoke! This reminds me of when I was pregnant with my first little dumpling Noah. (He's 9 now:)
I craved artichokes, artichokes and more artichokes. I could never get enough of the rich perennial thistle! Hubster came home every night from work with a fresh glaucous-green leaved choke or a jar of marinated hearts. Yum!Enjoy this quirky post? Get future vintage postcard updates sent to you for free!

Jane Seymour, wife numero 3 of King Henry VIII of England, had a hankering for quail all through her pregnancy.
Henry had the little birds shipped from Calais. He ordered, 'fat quails which her Grace loveth very well, and longeth not a little for.'
A large consignment of quail did arrive to Jane's relief! She gorged on them at every meal!
(The image below reads Jane the Quene)

hippo vintage postcards
Hippo sweat is pink. I'm not kidding! The rosy liquid helps the hairless hippo avoid a sunburn. The pigment of the secretion absorbs the sun's blistering UV rays. It's sunscreen au naturel.
The 'sweat' also acts as an antibiotic ointment. (watch out Neosporin) It's a lifesaving feature for male hippos, which often get injured when sparring with their sharp teeth over territory.
'This explains why hippo gashes and wounds rarely seem to get infected, even though male hippos have frequent, fierce fights.'
This vintage postcard friend from Jardin des Plantes in Paris could be the new spokeshippo for Coppertone!

Joyeux Premier Mai! To celebrate I gathered little nosegays of muguet (lily-of-the-valley) and tied them up with blue ribbon! The post office is closed for the holiday so I surprised the mailmen with the little bouquets and bottles of white wine yesterday! It was a day filled with smiles, luck (porte - bonheur), and big thank - yous for their hard work!
