Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

The other day while searching for some vintage Thanksgiving Day images.  I came upon a bunch vintage Thanksgiving card.  Some of them were, well, bizarre.  The illustrations are so... um... creative.  I was laughing & saying "what in the world" a lot.  What makes these even funnier is the fact that they were done in all seriousness & that people actually sent these to love ones as a honestly loving gesture.  Artists got to make a living somehow I guess.

I'm not getting the appeal of children & turkeys interacting.  Turkeys kind of always freaked me out when I was a kid.  

The last thing I ever wanted to do was ride a turkey...

...or run arm & arm with one.

Turkeys driving a corn car with lemon wheels.  Yep, that makes perfect sense!

Who in their right mind wants to envision the turkey they're about to eat smoking a cigar.  Somehow cigar smoke & turkey meat just don't mix well for me.

Hmmmm.

Just for Laughs

A few years back for my birthday my husband got me a set of magnets with the sarcastic housewife theme.  I fell in love with them... and the whole concept of taking those wonderful illustrations from the 1950's & adding  captions to them, sarcastic captions to be exact.  I just think they are hilarious, so I posted some here for you today to make you giggle.  

(Sidenote: I am not a angst homemaker. I am not a suppressed housewife.  I love doing what I do.  But these things are so funny, and often have that glimpse of truth, which makes them even funnier.)

A Day in the Life of Me

And that's pretty much it in a nutshell.
