Dear Friends!
Easter is coming up this weekend, so I've been looking for vintage Easter postcards to share with you. I found some that I hope you will enjoy!
A little girl in an Easter dress hugs her dachshund, while another doxie looks on:

Happy Valentine's Day, dear friends!
Today I would love to share a few special vintage Valentines with you. They all feature dachshunds and the theme of LONG or LONGING. My Momma says that most of these cards are 1950's to 1960's vintage. I have 12 cards to share, so without further ado ...
A dachshund in a yellow bow says: "I long for you to be mine."
A solid black dachshund says: "Valentine I Long 4 U."
A black and white dachshund says simply "I long." (I bet there is a continued message inside the card.)
A dachshund in a jaunty red cap and red and white sweater says: "Dog gone it! I long to see you."
This cute dachshund carries a rose in her mouth and wears a yellow blanket. "L-O-N-G-I-N-G for a Valentine."
A dachshund in a red sweater with hearts says: "I'm longing for you Valentine."
A pretty dachshund with a blue bow on her tail says: "I've liked you a long time, Valentine!"
This sweet dachshund has a blue bow around her neck. "Hi! For a long long time."
This dachshund has a white heart balloon and a blue collar. "I long to be your Valentine."
A dachshund in a yellow sweater gives a bone to a pretty poodle. "I've got a bone I'm longing to pick with you."
This dachshund wears a green bow. "I'd go a long way for a Valentine like you!"
A Valentine in a red collar stands by some flocked pink and red hearts. "I long for you to be mine!"
I hope you enjoyed these sweet, old timey Valentines and I hope YOU have an extra special day with the people and animals that you love.
Love,

Dear Friends,
I hope you are having a good week and staying warm. It was very cold for us in the south earlier this week, although we have not seen snow this winter. I am glad about that, as I am not a fan of snow!
I found some vintage pictures of dachshunds in winter that I like and thought you might enjoy them too.
This is a vintage postcard with a dachshund sitting beside a little girl outside in the snow. The little girl is wearing a coat but the doxie looks chilly!
Another vintage postcard -- children are going ice skating and their dachshund is right there with them on a frozen pond! (Brrr!)
Vintage postcard of a dachshund pulling a sled through the snow with a puppy and two cats. (This picture must be wrong, because the dachshund surely deserves to be pulled in a sled as well!)
Vintage postcard of dachshunds skiing on a mountain. It looks like they are having fun! One of them is standing on skis on all four legs instead of standing upright. I think he has the right idea.
1960's or 1970's vintage children's book illustration of a dachshund helping to make a snowman.
Another vintage children's book illustration of a dachshund meeting some deer in the snow.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures! Have a good day and a nice cozy weekend indoors, and I'll catch up again next week.
Love,

Dear Friends,
I hope you are having a good day. I'm posting a little early this week because I plan to take some time off for the Thanksgiving holiday. I hope to get some extra naps in and I just know there is going to be extra good food around next week. (I can't wait!) I'll be back the first Friday in December.
I wanted to share some cute vintage cards and postcards with you that feature dogs enjoying Thanksgiving.

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
Next week is one of my favorite holidays, Valentine's Day! I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you a happy Valentine's Day and to share a few vintage dachshund Valentines with you.
These are all older cards from the 1950's - 1960's like children exchanged in school.
This little dachshund wags her tail and mentions "a long long time." (Lots of dachshund cards make a play on the word "long.")
This is an elegant dachshund with a garland of red hearts:
This cute dachshund is a dandy. He is wearing a hat and coat!
This little girl dachshund looks so sweet in her coat and hat. She is even carrying a pink rose!
This festive dachshund wears a hat with streamers:
"Valentine, you're really swell!"
"I'm longing for you, Valentine."
"I've liked you a long time Valentine!"
"For you on Valentine's Day." A little girl and her two dachshunds look at a note that is arriving through a letter slot in the door.
This little red dachshund is from a child to their teacher.
"You're a dog-gone swell Valentine."
I hope you enjoyed this vintage Valentines, and hope you have a wonderful holiday! I'll be back next week with some more dogs in movies.
Love,
Abby xoxoxo
