1950 Cherry Blossoms


This scene appears (to me) to be a classic picture of cherry blossoms in Hood River, Oregon. I think the mountain seen in the background is the east flank of Mount Hood.

I have seen many, more modern, renditions of this particular view. I think I like this one the best, though.


This wonderful card is written, in 1950, by someone in Roseburg, Oregon and sent to Jerry Parker in Portland, Oregon. I love that it was used to represent a bouquet that could be sent through the mail.

1950 Bridal Shower


I love the sweet innocence of this beautiful blushing bride.


I'm not sure who these people are ... the envelope was too faded. The only thing readable was the 1950 postmark.
