The Sepia Saturday prompt this week is a photo of two young girls. Since it is Thanksgiving this week, I chose a Thanksgiving postcard with two young girls for my Sepia Saturday post this week.
I have a lot of old Thanksgiving postcards with children. I started collecting them because I was born on Thanksgiving. This year happens to be one of the years when my birthday actually falls on Thanksgiving.
Last year I made a video called Thanksgiving Fun on Vintage Postcards with postcards from my collection and posted it on YouTube. I also wrote an article about Children on Thanksgiving Postcards for my postcardy.com website. To see even more Thanksgiving postcards and some other Thnksgiving thingies, click the Thanksgiving label below this post.

Is that where they get the term, "turkey trot"?
ReplyDeleteCharming little film, and I particularly like the music you chose.
What a lovely film with cheerful music. I liked it very much.
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage postcards! So fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing collection of postcards of all types. Loved these celebrating Thanksgiving.
What a splendid collection! My favorite is the one with Uncle Sam.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
What gorgeous photographs - made me smile.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Happy Birthday. Good set of themed cards - but I feel sorry for the turkeys.
ReplyDeleteGood post; great show of postcards with fun, toe-tapping music! I still think turkeys are unattractive birds...but your post made me smile! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving Fun - except for the turkeys! I'm no veggie but it seems incongruous to have the subject of the feast celebrated in such a way on the postcards. Still, they are all lovely and the film is charming. Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWow, I enjoyed all of those,so colorful. The first with the girl and the ear of corn for the turkey was a favorite, but the one with the turkey chasing the boy with flag made me laugh! Kind of revenge of the fowl! Belated happy birthday and what a wonderful collection. I am amazed at how many you have.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing all of your Thanksgiving postcards! So colorful and fun. Happy Belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the most lovely Thanksgiving cards ever! Very nice fit- for the holiday and the pair!
ReplyDeleteI have a blogging friend that collects Thanksgiving cards too. She'd love this. What a charming idea to have a turkey pull a cart full of children. Too cute! I enjoyed your video. A belated Happy Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteA belated happy birthday from me too. What a great collection of thanksgiving cards. It's curious that there are so many. I wonder when people stopped sending thanksgiving cards. At some point I don't think they were very popular.

That was a delightful postcard and great slideshow. Happy Turkey day indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing collection! I hope you had a happy birthday and a good Thanksgiving. Jo :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful slideshow! The colors on the cards are so pretty, almost spring-like.
ReplyDeleteThank you,

A most amusing selection.
