Vintage Postcards

I recently came across the blog The French Factrice, who hosts Postcard Friendship Friday.
I love old postcards. I love the slightly disjointed wording, that I'm sure made sense at the time. I love to read what they were writing about in the early 1900's.
This one is postmarked 1913, and talks about washing items for Till's hope chest.
This postcard is part of the Daffydill series, which I find very amusing. I have a few others I will have to dig out...
