VTT - Fairy Tale Postcards & Puzzles



The Story of the Three Little Pigs appeared on a series of 12 postcards made by Dexter Press, © 1959. Each of the twelve postcards in the series has an illustration and text for part of the story.

My two fairy tale children's puzzles were bought at a garage sale. The first one is marked Japan and illustrates the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The back of this puzzle is a "Crayon Board."





The second puzzle illustrates the Gingerbread Man story. This one is Made in U.S.A. by the Sifo Co., ©1962.



Last, but not least, is a charming vintage video featuring three real trained bears.




I'm participating in Vintage Thingie Thursday

  14. I just found your blog through google. I recently started making my own postcards after joining postcrossings.com. I was wondering if anyone had made a series of postcards that when put together create a bigger picture (postcard puzzle). Little did I know that there is so many cool postcardy things out there!!!

  25. What a great video! Love your collection.

  26. Oh how funny...that video made me laugh. I was just in TN and the biggest black bears were feasting on our leftovers in the garbage every evening just outside our cabin as we stood only 12 feet away. They didn't seem as trained and entertaining as these bears in your video though!

  27. Very cute...I especially liked the video. I can't wait to show my 3-yr-old little girl in the morning. This is her favorite story!

    Have a happy night!

  28. That naughty gingerbread man caught my eye! He was looking for trouble and I remember it well! Thanks for sharing. My hubby lost his mom and we just returned from the funeral. I was not able to link up at Colorado Lady but still had posted my cute vintage lines. I hope you stop by. Thank you. Anne
