I'm a little late again today. I took my horse out for a ride before it got hot. He was actually more interested in staying with his friends and munching grass, and he let me know that several times on the walk :-) He has built in barn GPS!!!

I love this Raphael Tuck postcard. Raphael Tuck & Sons, based in London, was the world's largest postcard publisher during the late 19th and early 20th century. They also made wonderful children's books, and when I find some, I'll post them for you.

His animal postcards are beautiful. Hope you like this one! I put it on an aged background for you.

I love sharing free vintage images with you. If you like them, please leave a comment.

Victorian Postcard with Girl and Apple Blossoms - Free Download

Today's freebie is a pretty Victorian girl posting with apple blossoms. I thought it was appropriate because the apple tree in my back yard is full of flowers (and bees!). I added a border to the card, then decided to superimpose the back of the card.  I love how it came out!

Has anyone ever tasted Sarsaparilla? My grandpa gave it to me as a kid. I thought it was going to taste like Root Beer, and I was so wrong! This little Sarsaparilla girl is very pretty though, no doubt because she gets dosed with the stuff every day! Free to download for personal use.

Read the poem on the back of the card, it's pretty funny!

Paper dolls are so cool! I wish I had a huge collection to play with. This Little Bo Peep doll is actually from an old postcard. Tuck published a series of fairy tale paper doll postcards They are pretty valuable now, most likely because all of the kids cut them up to play with, so they are scarce.
