Romantic postcards like this were popular in the early 1900s. These cards usually were published in series. I have another postcard from this series with the title ""Let's get together." That one shows the same man with his arms around two different girls.
Crocheted potholders in the shape of hats are more common than most shapes, but not nearly as common as dresses and panties. I think it is interesting to see the variations on the same basic idea of a broad-brimmed hat with flowers.

I enjoyed you bringing back a lot of memories for me. I love the card, but the crochet is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a potholder that looks like panties; if you have one I hope you'll share it for VTT.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a giveaway for a Halloween bracelet. Be sure to look at it when you stop by for VTT.
I have a small collection of vintage crochet pot holders....love yours!
ReplyDeleteThese are very sweet. I love your MN postcard in the upper left corner.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing potholders shaped like hats. Yours are so cute! That postcard is great too. That man really gets around!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!

ReplyDeleteI think the postcard text is hilarious! She has a lovely romantic hat in her hand. The hat shape works very well for a potholder.

Oh my, love the hats, with the details, the bright red.
ReplyDeleteI love crochet and tend to do it in the winter cause I love to felt...and cant work with wool much in the summer :)
ReplyDeleteWhat charming potholders!! I'm from the days in which you could outfit your dolls straight from the dishtowel drawer---hat, dress, bloomers, little apron and all.
ReplyDeleteThey look cute! I would love to join VTT, but can't really find anything that match the theme!
ReplyDeletePossibly I try next week :)
