Shoveling a Path!




From the SNOW PEOPLE collection by Darling & Company, Seattle, WA.

Snowmen first came on the scene, according Bob Eckstein, in his "History of the Snowmen" in the 16th century. They became especially popular in the Victorian era. He writes, "The picturing of snow people flourished in the penny-postcard era (1890-1920) when many thousands of cards were made."

  3. Good morning, Coralie! Well, the photo isn't showing up for me, but I'm sure it's wonderful, as all the images you share are wonderful!

    I've been on a "blog break" for a few weeks, but I'm back & it's so nice to visit my friends again!

    Wishing you a beautiful weekend, my friend!
