Old Postcard from Flores Lake, Oregon

This is another of the postcards I bought at the "estate sale" back at the end of July.

Again, there is no date on this one ... but I'm assuming it is probably (like the rest of the stack) dated from between 1900 and 1920.

"Flores Lake, Curry County, Oregon."

((Now known as Floras Lake, this popular recreational lake, located between Gold Beach and Bandon, Oregon, is a medium-sized lake on the southern Oregon coast.  It is an embayment which has been cut off from the ocean by low migrating sand dunes.))

I would love to see that boat up close.

I imagine any boats on this lake now are nothing like this beauty!

I haven't contributed in a while ... I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things.

Wash Day Postcard

As an advertised "estate sale" - it was a washout.

Maybe four tables full of overpriced junk that was old, on a patio outside of a touristy shop full of more overpriced junk that was new.

Then I spied the stack of old postcards.

From the early 1900's!

Like this wonderful picture card showing two ladies dressed in their Sunday finest to do the weekly laundry.

I am fascinated by the "washing machine" - complete with "agitator" and "wringer"!

The family must have been fairly affluent to afford such a newfangled device!!!

And don't you just love the barn and rail fence in the background?

(Did you know today is Domestic Goddess Day???

 I didn't either! But this postcard is perfect!!!)
