Sponge Bob Postcard

When my kids were small we actually watched this cartoon a few times ...

Ah the memories!

Did you ever watch this show?

If you did ... did you ever notice Sponge Bob has a heart-shaped tongue???

Nope, neither did I.

So I'm linking this incredibly, uh, colorful postcard up with Guest Heart Thursday!

Hearts on a Bus

I had never heard of the "Buffalo Exchange" ... until I found several unused postcards at the thrift store. Of course the hearts caught my eye first!

Apparently there is a Buffalo Exchange somewhere nearby ... I may someday try to visit it - I'm very curious as to what kind of "new & recycled fashion" they trend!

Join us over at "The Best Hearts Are Crunchy" for this week's edition of "Postcard Friendship Friday"!

Unserschones Sudtirol Postcard

 I found this postcard of a village in North Italy at a thrift store ... it had been bent and discarded.

But the memories it stirred are priceless.

In what seems like another lifetime, and a trip we took while stationed in Germany.

On the map it looked like a shortcut.

In reality, it was a tiny winding road high in the mountains. In some places it was one lane and you looked out your window straight down. And down. And down some more. There were no guardrails.

It turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and I'd go again if I could.

I didn't notice until I got home ... one of the green patches in the mountains on the far side of the valley is shaped like a heart.

Hearty Teatime Postcard

I found this postcard at the thrift store a while back. It's delicate yummy pastel beauty certainly caught my eye!

Do you see some hearts in this card?

(if not, look closely at those delicate petals painted on the teapot ...)

Happy New Year - PFF

I love this card because these are not the usual flowers I think of in the dead of winter.

And because of the cute little heart in the center of one of those gorgeous blooms!

I rescued this card from a dumpster years ago ... along with many others (a story for a different day).

Handmade Valentine Card

I found this little Valentine card in Dad's keepsake papers ...

"To Oral from Margerie"

I have no idea who Margerie was ... but she made one cute little Valentine!

Postal Zone Postcard

I found this delightful postcard at the thrift store a couple of months ago, and finally got around to inventorying and scanning it.

It made me giggle.

A Cuppa Tea ... With Heart

I found this cute card at the Goodwill Outlet Store ... for some reason it jumped out of the bin and right into my cart!!! (Smile)

Just in time for "Random Hearts'" - "Guest Heart Thursday!"

Love's Greetings

I found this card in Grammie's papers ...

It is made of cardboard, and the back is blank ...

It is obviously old ...

And full of love!

Love Stamp Postcard

I recently uncovered a bag of postcards ... and finally got around to scanning them.
Amongst the treasures I found were several USPS sponsored "stamp" cards. One of my favorites is this 2002 "Love" stamp.

Hand and Heart ... PFF

This handmade postcard caught my eye - tucked into the bottom of a bin at the Goodwill Outlet Store ... I just HAD to buy it!

I can't imagine why someone would have given away this beautiful art/postcard/heart, but their loss is MY gain!

Missing You ... PFF

I came across this postcard in a box of letters and papers that had been left beside the recycle bin at my old storage unit.

I hope Candice got together with her parents for Thanksgiving, that her car got fixed, and that she was able to work out her relationship with "Lamont" (another story entirely - and I think he was the reason mom and dad were so worried!).

Hand Made Postcard - "Hand and Heart"

This delightful handmade postcard combines two of my loves ... hearts and creativity.
I don't know who made it, as I found it at the Goodwill Surplus store several years ago.
I remember rescuing it from the bottom of a bin, ready to be sent out to be shredded, and I was happy to save it from destruction.

And whoever made it lived in Oregon!
Which isn't surprising, since that's where I found it!!!
