Dear Abby - Vintage Easter Dachshunds

Dear friends,

I'm taking a break from my rescue series this week to wish you a happy Easter.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I've looked high and low and found some vintage Easter postcards featuring dachshunds.  For some reason these are hard to find - who knew?!

This is my favorite.  A little girl hugs a dachshund, while another doxie brings flowers.  Little chicks are hopping around, too.


A dachshund meets three bunny rabbits!


This card features a whole family of bunny rabbits ... and a handsome black dachshund.


It looks like some dachshunds are helping a bunny rabbit with some Easter eggs.  (I like this idea!)


Two dachshunds meet a big rooster!  This is an unusual card.  Are they in a library?


Another dachshund meets a rooster on this vintage Easter postcard.


A dachshund howls with happiness because he discovered a nest of eggs.


Another surprised looking dachshund finds a chicken and baby chicks.


This pretty dachshund carries pink flowers.


I hope you enjoyed these vintage Easter dachshunds.  I also hope your Easter weekend is lovely.  

I'll be back next week with a happy pet rescue story for you.

Love to all,

Abby xoxoxo

Weekend Window Shopping at Birdhouse Books - Vintage Easter

Hi vintage friends,

I have more vintage Easter postcards and cards in my store this week.  You'll find just a few of these little treasures below.   They are all available at:  Birdhouse Books on eBay.

I have about 25 more vintage Easter cards to list and then I will be moving on to vintage children's books.  One of my friends surprised me with three boxes of books from a wonderful local estate last weekend and I have some AMAZING vintage children's books to share with you.  Soon, I promise!

This unusual vintage Easter postcard is a variation on a "big letter" postcard.


 This lovely vintage Easter postcard features an angel in flight.



This lovely L.H. Conwell vintage postcard has an illustration of purple and white tulips.  It would be so pretty framed!




I love this sweet 1908 vintage Easter postcard with happy chicks in the grass, and sitting on an open barrel.


This unusual 1908 Rotograph postcard is a RPPC (real photo postcard) with a picture of an Easter egg and daffodils.


This lovely unused vintage Easter postcard is one of my favorites -- it has such a pretty illustration of three sweet bunny rabbits.



As always, you will find many more vintage cards - and books as well! - at Birdhouse Books.   Come visit!
