These are such fun. I've not seen the old ones, but then I don't actively collect old postcards - which is one reason why I like seeing your postcards!
These are some of my very favorite types of postcards. I have three so far: a giant corn, potato, and fish. I've never seen yours before: they're wonderful!
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!
I love those, too. I have a pretty big collection of the big veggies and fruits. I have never seen the celery or cucumber, though. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI do like the write-in cards and have fun imagining what would be an equivalent card over in this country.
ReplyDeleteI just have a few of those and hadn't seen the fill-in-the-blank kind.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteThose giant veggie cards are great! I've seen lots of them, but I've not seen the "fill in the blank" format.
ReplyDeleteGreat postcards! I think I've got another one of these here for you somewhere. I've got to find it but I'll send it your way.

ReplyDeleteFill in the blank! New to me. Fun cards.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards, With all the giant food.
ReplyDeleteSuch well behaved veggies that they stay on the railcars without being tied down.
ReplyDeleteAre they genetically modified? He-he, I couldn't help it!
