Love those Dutch wooden shoes

Old vintage postcard showing local dress of the Dutch people. Including the wooden shoes.
Short on words as its a busy week getting ready for Christmas Eve a family celebration. Among our family their will be Swedish, German, Irish and Norweigians attending all Americans. Merry Christmas.

Party Time

This postcard makes me think of all the Holiday Parties we are attending. Today I am taking a bowl of popcorn for a party at my Sewing Class. And I might do a little hand sewing, maybe quilt a table runner as a continuous project. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Mystery Men, Ladies from Alsace Postcard Friendship Friday

I purchased this postcard but have no idea who these men are. Can any of my PFF friends out there help me identify them? No information is given on the back.
These two ladies appear to have big hats and are from Alsace. Are these hats? Any significance about these Postcards. Again I need your help. The card on the right appears French, the one on the left maybe German. I do love these postcards.
Thanks again to PFF Host Marie at http://www.cpaphilblog.com/

An imaginary White Christmas

The theme for Decembers Festival of Postcards is White. I chose a 4 by 6 postcard I made for another blog last year and thought it was appropriate for this entry. When dreaming of a white Christmas I see leaping unicorns, tiny snowmen, snow covered branches with a white shiny moon. Of course there has to be snow on the ground and blue twinkly stars. I enjoyed making this collage style postcard. Check out this website and consider submitting a postcard. At the end of the month all entries will be shared at this website. http://acanadianfamily.com/a-festival-of-postcards/

We have a few inches of snow on the ground but I doubt it will be around for Christmas, but who knows it could snow again.
