Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s a bit late, but better than never! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope everyone had a nice celebration. That you had good eating with good company.
This an old postcard of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends (I scanned from my old cards). This is the classic version from the 80’s. Unfortunately I forgot to write down the names of her friends.
It’s neat that her friends are international. There’s the little Dutch friend and her pet duck, cute Chinese friend and her panda, blue hair French girl and poodle, and even Mexican friend with her burro - which is a small donkey.
Anytime of of the year, I never get too old to enjoy seeing Strawberry Shortcake and her friends. They are all so adorable!

Another Cute Vintage Card - Floral Shop
This is the other cute vintage card I found. Sometimes I think the idea of sending cards and letters will soon be obsolete. As people these days have so many other ways to communicate. There is cell phone, emails, and text messaging.
So in many ways, getting a simple hand written note in the mail can be really special!
Looks like a good day at the floral shop. I like the little girl in the red dress. And the smiling little gray poodle too. And there is even a gentleman giving the lucky lady some flowers.
Card possibly circa 1960s or 70s. Copyright by Famous Artist Studios, U.S.A. Images scan from Canoscan LiDE 100.

Children’s Book: Miss BG
Gudule a un bébé by Fanny Joly is one of my new favorite children’s book. But currently they are only published in French. There hasn’t been such a character from children’s book that has warmed my heart since Amelia Bedelia.
The books must have been really succesful since there is is also a French Canadian (animation) cartoon titled, Miss BG - from TV Ontario. In the computer animation, BG is showing the ways of the world to her little brother George.
Every episode is a great learning experience in which she finds a useful lesson on being kind and fair. The little girl is so lovable and so is her family and friends. I would definitely recommend this book & cartoon for the kid in all of us.
Miss BG - TV Ontario. She’s on !
