Two cards today, one for my father's birthday and one for Streetcar Sunday! It's Madeleine's birthday too! Happy Birthday, Madeleine.
About Me
- Christine H.
- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
I have a large pile of valentines that look like this. It is interesting to see the date on your postcard. It gives me a time reference.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Dad!
ReplyDeleteThose giant pansies must be filled with helium!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful focus for a blog- a rich use of archival material.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely blog - such a great collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and for the comment about my upcoming poetry volume.

Oh,lord. I am such a coarse roughneck. I first thought that the postcard was addressed to "W.T.F. Wells"
ReplyDeleteWell, now that you mention it...
ReplyDeleteSurely, someone has those initials. And thanks for the idea, I am off to have some towels monogrammed.
Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteI too love the old and the worn and the beauty found in them...thank you for these images today...
Happy days
So dear! A day brightener for sure.
ReplyDeleteChristine, would you please post warnings on these comments? I almost wet myself from laughing so hard. Finally, my husband came over to investigate and I could barely read it to him for laughing so much.
ReplyDeleteYour monomgrammed towels could be the next big thing!
