I have about 25 more vintage Easter cards to list and then I will be moving on to vintage children's books.  One of my friends surprised me with three boxes of books from a wonderful local estate last weekend and I have some AMAZING vintage children's books to share with you.  Soon, I promise!

This unusual vintage Easter postcard is a variation on a "big letter" postcard.


 This lovely vintage Easter postcard features an angel in flight.



This lovely L.H. Conwell vintage postcard has an illustration of purple and white tulips.  It would be so pretty framed!
