That's a good thing, because I've really enjoyed this series of postcards from
I laughed out loud when I saw this one and I hope you do, too!

"She was filled with romance, and deemed it good sport
To look in the mirror and see it's report.
She gazed quite awhile, then a loud voice heard;
'Come do the dishes now, and don't be absurd.'"
Hollow'een Greeting.
Postcard Friendship Friday is hosted by the lovely Beth.
When you visit you will see a variety of postcards from the old to the new,
the comic to the serious, travel to new places. Enjoy!
Wishing you well and have a wonderful weekend!
Funny how we do that, as women - not really see what is reflected back in the mirror for concentrating on the negative. I wish someone would invent a mirror that only let us see the positive...
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if the young lady gazing into the mirror was seeing herself as others saw her? I hope she went out to seek romance; the dishes can wait.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is just hilarious! I LOVE this postcard! lol Made me giggle up my sleeves this morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
wow! this is a great card! i'm very interested in typography and would love to find out what font was used on this card...it's wonderful! happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteAh romance brought down by reality. Love this funny card.
ReplyDeleteThe dishes can always wait - that's my philosophy!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, somebody was put in her place! :) Lovely card, both great fun and very attractive visually.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Halloween Postcard. Quite funny. Happy PFF.

Great card! Who needs to do the dishes when romance is in the air??
ReplyDeleteThe young lady is to one side: is that her mother's reflection, ans mom comes to her room to chide her?
ReplyDeleteI like the candle in this one.
Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
This must be a take-off on the mirror-mirror story. What she sees in the mirror is enough to scare any beaux away!
ReplyDeleteFunny card. I have a theory that the reason our vision lessens as we age, is that what we see in the mirror is not as harsh as it is in actuality. Just don't put your glasses on before viewing!
ReplyDeleteToo Funny, Snap.... I love your postcards...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Fun postcards! This one and the 'Floozie' one too :)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary wishes!
I love this card. It sent me thinking back to my romantic days. Not a thought for how many dishes I have washed since! Glad I have a dishwasher though!
ReplyDeleteDelicious. The style of the illustration is like the one Windsor McCay used for The Adventures of Little Nemo.
ReplyDeleteHello, dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your amazing postcards. This one is very unusual. Yes, I am afraid those dishes are always waiting for us. I think I would rather choose romance, however. Are you enjoying this cooler weather in Central Texas? I sure am. Hope your weekend has been a happy one~love always~Vicki
What a dear old card that proves some things never change. Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteHope your new week is happy.
