Ruby Tuesday and some "vintage" Christmas red


But of course, a photo I took of a red poinsettia is perfect for Ruby Tuesday. And I'm including vintage holiday cards complete with more poinsettia and a red hydrangea and berries.
I have been enjoying posting Vintage Yuletide greetings and these are two more of them.



To see more Ruby Tuesday entries, visit Mary T, The Teach. She has a photo of the real Santa on her blog this week!

I finally learned what a poinsettia is, but don't now hoe to pronouns it yet.
I like the Christmas stars. have bought several for our home.
The Christ Thorn with red berries are growing wild here at the coast.
They are beautiful.

I love pointysetta's as my kids would call them. But I like the small bushy ones.

Oh, and you know what my favorite poinsettias, are? Believe it or not - the white ones! Go figure!

I really find this plant so interesting. I love how the leaves turn red during this time of the year.

My Ruby Tuesday entries are posted here and here. Hope you can pass by, too! Thanks.

The poinsettia is beautiful!
When I go to flea markets the one thing I look for is paper items.
I collect Valentines postcards mostly (may have told you that before)
Your Christmas ones are lovely!

I have to admit that, while poinsettias are not my favorite plants, I do love beautiful vintage postcards and your photos are no exception!
