I love old postcards!I love to
read the messages and try to picture the writer as well as the recipient.
Since I'm feeling a little under the weather (must have been too many roosters-hehe),
I thought I would share some of my favorites with you.
They range from the 1920's up to the 1970's. Wait, the 1970's is not OLD!
Please feel free to use them in any of your projects.
I hope to visit everyone soon.
Enjoy!
Aren't the messages just wonderful?
See you soon.
See you soon.

Hey Barb! Are you O.K.? How is your head and all that....? Please, get some rest. Is it really hot where you are? Drink lots of water! I love old post cards too! I keep the European ones that I get; they are just so cool. How is your son? Please visit when you can. Bisous! Anita
Hi Barb, sorry your not feeling well. Hope you get better soon. Wonderful beautiful postcards!! I loved reading them.
The postcards are very pretty and such a neat thing to collect.
Hope you are better soon. :)
These cards are gorgeous. Thank you for all your kind words about Avery. I miss her, but I know she is having so much fun.
Bonjour Barb,
Hope you're feeling better today,I find a little nostalgia always helps and your postcards are just the ticket.
Paris hasn't changed all that much since these cards were sent.

Those are beautiful postcards. I love the writing style on the older ones. Hope you feel better soon.
Hello Barb, I love old postcards too! I get a kick out of trying to decipher the handwriting on some of them. Hope you are feeling better.

PS - thanks for following along on my blog! Look forward to many happy visits.
Hi Barb!!
I just visited your shop and fell in love with EVERYTHING!! Do you have a button I can put on my blog?? I placed an order but somehow the order is going to be shipped to the billing address which is different from my home address. I left an email but am worried the order will go out before you get it!!
You can email me at blndy9@yahoo.com.
Again, love all of your French inspired treasures!!

Beautiful! I especially like that first one...the roof line and dormers are so quaint!
Hi Barb,
Just wanted to say that it was so nice to talk to you today, even though it was about business!! ;-)
It's always wonderful to meet a blogger friend in person and this was the next best thing! What a sweet and fun lady you are!!
Take care and enjoy your week. Stop by when you have a chance!!
xoxo

Such lovely postcards. It is fun to imagine who was sending them and why :)
I really enjoyed my visit!
I used to packrat these paper time machines myself and could spend hours reading and imagine who wrote them, who was the receiver and how they ended up in the places we collectors find them. Same with old photos and esp old photo albums that tell stories from decades long gone. It esp hurts my heart when I see massive piles at estate sales and wonder were there no heirs or family left to take in these orphans and these little black n white square pieces of photo paper embedded with loved ones, whos lives get scattered in the wind or worse end up in a trash heap.
We are the keepers of them now and even though I know them not they are a part of me as we may have crossed paths in a past life. We don't know these lost people but if you look around you'll find someone just like them.

Hi Barb,
I am really liking your postcard collection. It would be wonderful for any collage artist to have images such as these for layering in projects. You have a very nice look to your blog.
