Thanks to everyone who jumped in on my Halloween sale! It was great fun and got me feeling excited about starting into the Holiday season.
And here are some strange postcards for this November 1, All Saints Day-
I found them in a desk drawer when I was clearing stuff out of my parents’ house. I think my Dad probably bought these postcards in Mexico, in the early 60’s.
And one more thing-Â here is a link to a bat graph- obviously I should have put that up yesterday!
Great postcards! They probably show The Day of the Dead festivities. The spanish on them says Night of the Dead. Day of the Dead is a celebration of loved ones who have died, it’s believed their spirits have come back to visit for the day. People go to the cemeteries to have picnics and decorate the graves, there are parades and other festivities.
Very cool postcards! I’m sad that I missed your sale, but I’m sure some of your great dolls went to loving homes!
