In honor of Turkey Day, we just posted a new category, vintage Thanksgiving postcards.
Turns out, the version of the first Thanksgiving most people learned in grade school is historically inaccurate, as are the images of “Pilgrims” in many of these postcards. Nonetheless, these cards, with their fat turkeys and giant pumpkins, are charmingly retro and still convey our gratitude and well wishes toward you.
Have a wonderful holiday!
