Witchy Wednesday Vintage postcards.
Welcome to another Witchy Wednesday. This week I thought I would share my love of Vintage Halloween postcards. These colourful cards were often embellished with beautiful drawings of Witches, ghosts, pumpkins and other Halloween characters in humourous or sometimes rather bizarre situations were very popular during the Victorian period and right up until the 1920's.
The introduction of the telephone eventually phased out this most adorable of traditions as instead of sending postcards people would communicate via the telephone. Though there has been a more recent trend in sending Halloween cards and postcards thanks to hobbiest and crafters who make homemade cards to send to friends or sell at fairs.
Here is a really informative video I found on YouTube.
Here are some I especially like.

Some folklore stories and articles about History can be quite scary and disturbing and may have some adult content. So I would always advise visiting, reading and viewing any links before showing or reading to younger children.
