Christmas in 3D


You can't tell it from the scan, but this gorgeous card is 3D!
It was in a group of 5 or so that I found at the thrift store a couple of months ago ...
and is one of the few Christmas postcards I have.

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 ...)

Yellowstone National Park


This postcard depicts the famous "Old Faithful" geyser at Yellowstone National Park. It looks pretty much the same now as it did in 1992 (when this postcard was issued) ... and the same as it looked when my family visited back in 1965 or so. I was just a little tyke, but I have vivid memories of Old Faithful!


I am glad that our national parks have reopened after the 2-week shutdown ... but, like many Americans, am frustrated that it happened.
I won't get into politics here, because I loathe politics.
And I know that my opinion is just that. MY opinion. I will not force it on you, although I suspect most people hold similar opinions!
So I will just let it go with this ... I will express MY opinions during the next election.

Autumn Fairies


For the past 2 weeks I have felt a bit like these fairies.
The wind has blown, the rains have fallen ...
The leaves have started to turn brown and fall.
Sigh. Summer is over.

Someone's Arizona Vacation ...


I can't stand to see old postcards and photos in the bins at the thrift store "outlet" store. I know it is the final chance for these pieces of history to be found before they are disposed of (usually paper is shredded).

So when I found an old photo album of someone's Arizona vacation/road trip, I just had to snatch it up. It was full of wonderful pictures ... interspersed with postcards like this one.


Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona
copyright 1992


This photo was stuck on the page right under the postcard.

(only one photo of the bunch was labeled with a date - 1998)

I am linking this with Beth's "Postcard Friendship Friday"!
