Postcard - "Hugs and Kisses" (1)

The only information listed on the back of this postcard is that this delightful picture was taken in 1964 by Elliott Erwitt in Krakow, Poland.

Because of the no right turn sign in the background, I am submitting this postcard to Lesley's "Signs, Signs" meme.

Because I had to scan this card in order to post it, I am also submitting this postcard to Al's "Sunday Scans" meme.

The card itself was published in 1998 as part of a 30-card book called "Hugs & Kisses" which I found at the Goodwill Surplus Store. There are only 18 cards left in the book, and I love thinking that someone actually used some of them!

Postcard from Oregon Coast - PFF and GHT

I absolutely love this postcard picture of this crabbing boat crossing the Yaquina Bay bar along the Oregon Coast - the green of the wave behind it is stunning. For you heart seekers, do you see the green heart in the wave?

If you have found a random heart, join "Random Hearts" - and share YOUR heart on Guest Heart Thursday!

Meet Oakley and Tober -

Awe, they don't look like Bad Dogs to me -

I only have one more of the "Bad Dog" series found at Goodwill a while back.
I think I'm going to miss them!

Postcard, Oregon Coast. Sigh.

I have many postcards of the Oregon Coast.
It is my favorite place in the world.

This particular scene shows Cannon Beach.
Double sigh.

Postcard, San Francisco

Lombard Street, San Francisco, California, USA

"The crookedest street in the world"!

Athens Postcard - Happy PFF (a little late!)

Athens - The Unknown Soldiers Grave. A very powerful, very moving scene.

I found this postcard (with a bunch more!) at the Goodwill surplus store. I had to rescue them, as the next step for all "paper" not sold is the shredding machine.

Postcard - North Shore Animal League

Adorable kitties always make for adorable cards ...

But this one represents the North Shore Animal League. I did some research, and found the following history ...

For the past 65 plus years, the North Shore Animal League America has been the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in the world, housing an average of 300 animals at any given time. As of the end of 2008, the Animal League had found homes for nearly one million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. However, this exciting achievement did not happen overnight. The road was long and the efforts great. Many dedicated individuals shared their passion and perseverance in making North Shore Animal League America what it is today.

Postcard - Hildur Jonsson Weaving and Drawing

I love the color and texture of this intricate weaving.
Not so sure about the artwork tacked onto it.
But it certainly catches your eye!

This must have been quite an exhibit!

Cutting Grass 'Homestead' Style - Postcard

I had to laugh at this one!

Happy PFF Friday! I'm Baaaack!

Costa Dorada, Tarragona, Spain.
Sun, beaches, monuments, beaches, museums, beaches ...

I'm glad I saved this card that my one-time coworker, Herr Schneidmueller, sent from Spain to taunt those of us working in cold, cold Germany (1986 through 1989).

1950 Cherry Blossoms

This scene appears (to me) to be a classic picture of cherry blossoms in Hood River, Oregon. I think the mountain seen in the background is the east flank of Mount Hood.

I have seen many, more modern, renditions of this particular view. I think I like this one the best, though.

This wonderful card is written, in 1950, by someone in Roseburg, Oregon and sent to Jerry Parker in Portland, Oregon. I love that it was used to represent a bouquet that could be sent through the mail.

Hawaiian Sunset Postcard, 1984

Beautiful Hawaiian Sunset - 1984

Another beautiful card - rescued from Goodwill Surplus Store!

1971 Lola Montez Postcard

Grammie's sister did tend to see the flaws in life - but kept a grand humor about them.

I'm not sure who Lola Montez was. I guess I will have to do some research on her, because it sounds like she had a very fabulous life.

Yummy Postcard!

I was going through my old trunk when I came upon this yummy postcard.

I don't remember where or when I got it (it was printed in 1984), or who I intended it for. I guess it was meant for ME! I thank myself very kindly! A wonderful treat for today.
