I will send you this card to wish you a happy Birth day and will try and answer your letter you sent me along time ago. Tell Georgie I received his letter.
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
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!
That's a pretty postcard!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! You have to admit though that it looks like she's pressing the gas and he's reaching over and steering. haha.
ReplyDeleteThat is one pimped out birthday carriage, better get it home before midnight when it turns back into a '75 Volkswagen Thing!
ReplyDeleteBrian, you are right that the steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side. Artistic license, I guess?
ReplyDeleteAnd what's up with that hand waving goodbye, looks awkward. But maybe all those roses finally got to her.
ReplyDeleteI've decided that she's exceedingly drunk and he gallantly stepped in to drive for her as she waves goodbye to her drinking buddies.
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker for these embossed greeting cards. The colors on this one are phenomenal!
