Don't Tread On Me Postcard

Don't Tread On Me
“In my weak judgment, a government is strong when it applies to the most important end of all governments – the rights and privileges of the people.”
-- Patrick Henry

These postcards are new and are available through an Internet company called Zazzle. They are also fighting for our 10th Amendment rights (States rights).

Rattle Snake
And kinda on the same subject, a real "don't tread on me" wandered into our country backyard a day or two ago. I was mowing and luckily missed the visitor with my multiple cutting blades. Being good stewards of the land, we didn't kill it, but shooed this little bad boy into the neighboring woods. Pretty, isn't he? He had just shed his skin and was all shiny.



Join us every Friday for Postcard Friendship Friday hosted as always by the lovely and gracious Marie at Viola! Vintage Postcards. Everyone, even snakes, are welcome.

Mr. Zip

Welcome to Postcard Friendship Friday.

My contribution today is Mr. Zip.

Our home received a similar notice like the one above in the early 1960's. It's too bad my father didn't save his. Who knew this would be a collectible?

I recall my father saying, "Our zip is 32780. Memorize that." (He was a man of few words.) Well, I did and I still remember the zip to this day.

Want to join in the fun of Postcard Friendship Friday? Everyone is welcome. This 'event' is hosted by my good friend Marie at Voila! Vintage Postcards. Be sure to leave a message at her blog so we'll all know to visit your place too.

Thanks for coming by! Have a great weekend y'all.

Looks like Lady Liberty is happy not to be wearing one of those heavy dresses on that women used to have to endure. [lol]

Gladewater street scene, circa 1913

Apparently, it snowed there that year and it was very unusual. I just hope they don't expect me to shovel any of it as I've done enough yardwork this week. :o)

"Gladewater is the antique capital of East Texas, a Texas Main Street and a National Main Street city as well as a favorite tourism spot, where visitors can enjoy a bit of past while browsing through the quaint old buildings. You will find over 200 antique and crafter's in over 30 antique malls and individual shops, bed and breakfast inns, restaurants, bakeries and down home entertainment. World famous PRCA rodeo, massive East Texas Gusher Days, Arts & Crafts Festival, opry, lake recreations and the infamous July 4th Fireworks at Lake Gladewater.

Located on U.S. Highway 80 and State Highway 271, Gladewater is 105 miles east of Dallas. With welcome you to come and visit us as we treasure the past while embracing the future."

Gladewater appears to be a lovely, little town. Here's a link to their Chamber of Commerce, for anyone interested. We might want to visit the town next time we breeze through enroute to the Texas Hill Country.

Didn't they look like a happy couple. Wonder why she isn't smiling though? Maybe her corset was too tight. Could be what caused the split-up between Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam.


Happy Postcard Friendship Friday

My husband snapped a picture of me after traveling over 2,400 miles in two weeks. [lol]

Nah, it's a postcard photo of a Budda statue with a tree growing around it. He looks sleepy too. Source: Zazzle.Com

Texas Hill Country
We are going to be in the Texas Hill Country for two weeks or so and thought this would be appropriate for PFF day.

This postcard was found at Legands of America Lost Treasure of the Texas Hill Country website. There are some stories of buried treasure there.

PFF is hosted by my wonderful friend in France, Marie. See her link on the right hand side to visit her blog. She has many lovely vintage postcards. ============================>

Funny Friday And Postcard Friendship Friday (03/20)

For all you who ride "those Triumph death traps" this is for you ... [tee hee] Check out how they embed the motorcycle with humor through osmosis! I always say, British humor is one of the best in the world.




And now for PFF, this is a postcard depicting the first Soviet motorcycle with the engine with the vertical dual cylinders. This machine is (or was) in the Polytechnical museum in Moscow, Russia.

Now how about this unique postcard someone found on eBay:

"Offered for sale on eBay is a possibly unique post card signed by Elvis and posted on January 15th 1955 (using a 2 cent stamp).

The post card reads "Dear Al. Your a heart breaker if you don't help me with my "Milk Cow Blues Boogie." Sun Records Thanks Elvis Presley" and it is addressed to Al Robinson KSYL Alexandria La.

The post card was taped in Al's scrap book so there are some tape marks on the edge.

Robinson tells the story about the postcard and about the only booking of an Elvis show he ever did (for 165 dollars) on the clip below.

In case you're wondering: bidding begins at 250,000 $US." Source: Elvis Information Network

Dog and Boy on Indian Motorcycle

I found this nifty little number on the 'net at Apex Postcards. Apex states the postcard is "Velox Stampbox, c. 1900-1910". So, I guess the postcard is about 100 years old. Wow.

The boy doesn't look very happy, does he? Maybe he wants to ride and not sit around waiting for a picture to develop. Let's let the boy go now ...

Georgia is our absolute, hands down, favorite State. We love living here.

But our second favorite State is Texas. Texas folks are some of the best in the world and there are so many fun things to do there! We try to visit every year. So, we've been planning our Texas Hill Country trip for this Spring and I thought this would be a nice card to post today. Just once I would like to see the Blue Bonnets in full bloom. [sigh]

Ok, raise your hand if you scribble notations and do math on the backs of old scrap papers? I knew it! Ah, we're all guilty. Writing on something that may be worth lots of money one day.

Well, my contribution this week is another historical piece.

Interestingly, I am related to some of the Moore and Bird / Byrd family in Georgia. I don't know if these are any of my kin, but I'd be willing to bet even money that we're related somehow. It's such a small world here.


"The front of the postcard shows a 1916 postal mark and the back elaborates on the qualities of the “Boss” cane stripper. Note that this design differs from those made by the Brinley-Hardy Company."
