Kingston, Ontario, Canada


Although this card is from about 1910, the photo is probably from thirty years earlier. There is still a market here - and also a skating rink. Unfortunately, there's no Google street view to show you what it looks like now, but if you want to see what's happening at Springer Market Square right this minute, you can look at their webcam. The first time I looked, they had set up an ice skating rink and you could see people skating around, but it looks as if that has been dismantled now.

To Nettie Bee from Fife

Nettie Bee and her family lived in the Rosemount Buildings in Edinburgh, Scotland,  and sent and received some of the loveliest postcards.


The message on the back of the card, sent  to Nettie Bee from Fife in 1919, reads:
Dear Nettie, This is just a lovely spot + no need to walk far. Only I don't see much hope of any one nice to blick all  ____?_  compri: excuse the spelling, it's only the strong air. Hoping for  a letter from home tomorrow.  Love to All,  Yours,  _____

Easter Chicks

I think I have enough Easter postcards to start a separate Easter postcard blog. (Don't worry, I won't) Here are some postcards featuring chicks. See if you can spot the misspelling.


And here's the back of the second card.
