Sun Maid Raisins

This fun card was sent by TandemStoker in Colorado with the North American November 2018 Round Robin. I'm not especially fond of raisins, but I do like this card quite a bit. TandemStoker writes that she only likes raisins covered in chocolate and I have to agree! I also have a favorite oatmeal raisin cookie recipe that my dad used to make us when I was a child. Make this recipe and also add one cup of chocolate chips to the batter in addition to the raisins! Quaker's Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.

Throwback Thursday: Children and Piglets in the Snow

This lovely vintage postcard was sent by Blue_Fox from the US to US Surprise Me! Round Robin on the Postcrossing Forum. The card was mailed from Ohio. 

I have a huge love for vintage postcards and this one from Blue_Fox does not disappoint! It's so adorable. I wish I knew what year this is from and I have questions about the children and the little piggies running past.

Frida Kahlo, Doña Rosita Morillo, 1944

Sent by Iwritedeb from North American Round Robin November 2018 on the Postcrossing Forum. This card is from Six Frida Kahlo Cards.

I've loved Kahlo ever since my 10th grade Spanish class, we had to do a report on a famous Hispanic person and I happened across Frida Kahlo. Not only were her paintings full of both pain and symbolism... but she was such an interesting woman! 

I added this postcard to these collections: Women | Art | Art: Portraits Only | United States  

Iwritedeb also attached a wonderful 'Love' stamp, which is new my Love collection!
