Another crazily busy week at work, during which I have been working up in London for 4 of the 5 days and seem to have found time for very little else. I am very behind on my blog updates, and in fact last week managed to miss Sepia Saturday altogether. I think I may have shared one of these 2 vintage postcards before, but I felt that they fitted in well with my "hat" take on this week's Sepia Saturday. I have no information about the first postcard, but the second is published by C.W.Faulkner.
As usual 100's more vintage postcards on my web site

That's rather a large hat to wear on a train journey ...
ReplyDeletePlain or fancy - take your choice? :)
ReplyDeleteI love the second one especially. She's so smart-looking. I must investigate the habit of wearing a big clump of flowers -- I have a photo of one of my ancestors with a clump of flowers popping out of her dress.
ReplyDeleteYou may have shown it before but we’re following a different ‘train’ of thought! It’s such a lovely hat, who cares?
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether the second one is a picture of someone famous. It doesn't look like a typical greeting postcard like the first one.
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful in very different ways. There is something eternally fashionable about the second one.
ReplyDeleteThat first one seems familiar, but I love seeing it again.
ReplyDeleteThe first may be colourful with a fine hat but it strikes me as unnatural. The second one is more to my taste a real woman feeling superior in her hat.
ReplyDelete@Postcardy - I think the 2nd one is someone famous. I have a vague recollection that when I posted it before under a different theme, that someone told me who it was, but alas I can't find the information now.
ReplyDeleteWork less. We missed you last week. You always provide a great Sepia Saturday contribution.
ReplyDeleteEven if you have shown them before, I did not recall them so it was good to see, pretty hats and cards..
ReplyDeleteWith "Welcome!" written in the white space, wouldn't that first photo be perfect as a welcome gadget on the sidebar of a family history/genealogy blog? I love it!
ReplyDeleteA nice contrast between hats and fashion styles. Is the second a kind of fashion card? Doesn't seem like a greeting card type like the first.
