Happy New Year from Provence!
My resolutions? Hmm. All the usual suspects really.
Here is a selection of some vintage New Years postcards in my collection. These are generally from the turn of the 20th century up until the years of WWI. The postcards aren’t simply happy holiday images; some are quite somber (despite their smiling faces) with their effort to uplift soldier’s spirits. Either way, their sometimes odd symbolism, and faded colours are a joy.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do! A little bit of old to bring in the New Year…
Vintage New Years Postcards from France
This one is particlarly poignant.
Bon courage!
Mistletoe is more common for the New Year in France rather than Christmas.
Happy New Year!
Do you have any New Year’s resolutions?
I like your choices! My favorite is the last one with the fox? Around her neck. Reminds me of my Mother! What does the H word mean? ❤️❤️❤️
Yes that is so elegant- a bygone era! “Heureuse” means happy!
