The Cedar Chest - antique postcards, vintage photographs, forgotten ephemera: Heads Up, 7up!
http://thecedarchestblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/heads-up-7up.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. Heads Up, 7up! A recent click-through visit to a website of a cook book store in New York. Made me remember all the great cooking pamphlets I have in my collection. So, I decided to dust off the old blog and share a couple with you. It's a hot weekend in Portland, like 100° weather hot. So, these recipe books from 7up looked appealing to me. So refreshing! This booklet is half page size and has the recipes in it shown below. Um, yeah, I'll pass. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Cedar Chest - antique postcards, vintage photographs, forgotten ephemera: Hearts and Flowers
http://thecedarchestblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/hearts-and-flowers.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. Valentines Day always comes when it's most needed. In the grey dark days of winter you get a chance to decorate and send cards with flowers and lace and pretty red and pink designs. The images and designs are always welcome and can help tide you over till the flowers start to bud. I recently listed some new valentines on the site. You can give them as they are, scan them and create a new piece or use them to decorate for Valentines Day. And check out the Half Off section, too!

The Cedar Chest - antique postcards, vintage photographs, forgotten ephemera: December 2012

Friday, December 28, 2012. A Happy New Year to you! I hope your Christmas was wonderful. I love this week in between Christmas and New Years. There is really not too much you can do. Too early to put decorations away (I like having them up for New Years), you can take your time putting away gifts, finishing off the Christmas cookies and enjoying your new books and movies. Here are a couple of New Years postcards I am very fond of. Here's to 2013! May it have lots of wonderful and joyous surprises. I knew...

The Cedar Chest - antique postcards, vintage photographs, forgotten ephemera: September 2013
http://thecedarchestblog.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. It's a tiny travesty that I haven't done a blog post on here since the beginning of June. The summer was much busier than I expected and now it's September and truthfully, I'm glad. I seem to collect images of people at work. Often offices. I like office party photos, too. These one below is an 8x10 and it's great to take a good long look at. I particularly like this vignette and wonder what was going on there. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Daily Postcard: More Photo Sleuthing
http://postcardparadise.blogspot.com/2012/10/more-photo-sleuthing.html
Friday, October 26, 2012. Remember the Hendersons from yesterday's post. Well, I unearthed some more photos from the family and discovered that I had also posted something on one of them in 2010.and forgotten all about it. And that photo was from a different box of photographs. It just goes to show you how things can get mixed up. It was another one of those Aha! James and Hanna Henderson. Then there's this carte de visite, which is hard to stop looking at! Is he a giant? Is she a midget? And here's anot...

The Daily Postcard: February 2012
http://postcardparadise.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Did you notice that we have one extra day this month? Leap year is better news for people who are paid by the hour than for people who are on a monthly salary, so it all depends on your perspective whether you appreciate it or not. Here's a card from some previous leap year, circa 1920. This one's a little odd, isn't it? And this one's pretty unusual too. I am mad at that hello girl because she wouldn't let me say all my say. I think 'Hello Girls' were telephone operators.

The Daily Postcard: Time is on the Wing - Birds in Advertising - Part 2
http://postcardparadise.blogspot.com/2012/11/time-is-on-wing-birds-in-advertising.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. Time is on the Wing - Birds in Advertising - Part 2. Thus, like the miller, bold and free, let us rejoice and sing;. The days of youth are made for glee, and time is on the wing ;. The first card is a very early engraved calling card, probably circa 1840, so it's not really an advertisement. But I suppose you could say that calling cards are really a form of personal advertisement. In any case, this one says Time is on the Wing. The words are from The Miller of Dee. Oh, good poi...

The Daily Postcard: July 2012

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Tram Tuesday - Marseille, France. Back in 2011 I posted a colorful scene of streetcars on La Canebière. In Marseille. Here are some more cards showing scenes of Marseille that include streetcars. The earliest trams in Marseille began service in 1876 and were pulled by horses. As in most other places, the system slowly transitioned to electric power. This first card, circa 1900, appears to show horse-drawn and electric trams operating side by side. Monday, July 30, 2012. Stay tuned...

Friday, September 28, 2012. I know, I've been posting a lot more photos than postcards lately. It's because there are so many that I want to post before I move on to other things. So here are a bunch of tin types. They're all about 2.5 inches by 4 inches, and the metal is sharp! Don't know where and don't know who, but they're full of character and historical fashion. Thursday, September 27, 2012. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Hugh Winslow and Elizabeth Brady Cabot Winslow. Hugh was born in Montana in 1...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Harry Starr's Magnificent Scrapbook. I wonder if it was typical for little boys to keep scrapbooks like this in the 1880s. Harry Starr seems to have lived in Baltimore, Maryland, based on the advertising cards in his scrapbook. The front of the album is both ornate and exotic. Harry's name and the date (January 31st, 1884) are written neatly on the first page, probably by his mother. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Tram Tuesday - Milan, Italy. S movie, Illusion Travels by Streetcar.
