From my grandmother’s post card collection, here are a few old Easter greetings:

This post card is post marked March 9, 1918, 99 year old. Sent from my Great Grandmother to my Grandmother when she was 22.

I love that the sheep in this post card have natural tails.

This old post card was sent from my Great Grandmother to her son, my uncle, when he was young.
