Wonderful card...and an interesting Halloween mirror tradition that I'd never heard of either. Love the bobbing apples decorating this card! Happy PFF!
She looks happy with the apparition. A girl of steady nerves, no sign of Victorian vapours.

I see we are celebrating Halloween already, And why not?! I do like the spelling of the word mirrow and the curve of that beautiful woman's neck. sweet!
I love this card! I think I have some vague memories of that tradition. I do remember that we used to try to peel apples with a single continuous line of peel. Then the idea was to throw it over your shoulder and it would form the initial or name of your future husband. I forgot to take note of the results. :)
I love vintage Halloween cards - and this one is just great!!

She's smiling because she knows he can't be a vampire since his reflection shows up.

That's the halloween spirit. Keep smiling. I like the detail of the apples. They seem to comment. Happy PFF.

I love those old superstitions.
My grandmother used to say, over a dropped spoon, "A woman's coming to visit!"

What an interesting postcard! I've never hear that legend before!

That is one spooky card, the way it invokes fate, although I know it was meant to be more romantic. Very unusual.
