Wedded Bliss

Ebay7_3

    Well, I am getting married in about a week and a half!!!
    So, what this means is that starting next week and on and off for about the next month my posts may only contain one vintage item per weekday rather than three. But, you can be assured that when all the hoopla is over I will resume my three vintage items per day postings.
    The photo postcard pictured above is from 1931.
    I love the expressions that the couple have on their faces!
    He has kind of a loving smirk and she has a coy look to her.
    This postcard has a "Buy It Now" price of $8.99 and is being sold by Vintage Photo Postcard, which is an ebay seller based in Portugal.
