There seem to have been lots of these, designed for various locales. In fact, they seem to have been so popular that there were even joke versions, like the Dizzy Person's Postcard. My earrings seem to be from the "I spend my time" section of The Asheville Post Card Co. (Card No. 45753) or one from the same series, as the text looks identical.
