Postcard Post

I can't believe I haven't blogged since the 19th of December, it sure has been busy, no time for blogging and even less time for blog reading!  Hopefully, Santa found all of you with no problem and left a few goodies under your tree - maybe a vintage item or two...


Today we are heading out for a couple of days, but I didn't want to let another day go by without posting something.  Here are two more cards from my small postcard collection, both are beautiful Ellen Clappsaddle postcards and are very old.


This card was postmarked 1907 from Ithaca, New York and sent to an address in Alpine, NY - this person was short on words, they didn't write anything.


The message was written on the front of this card, the writing is very hard to make out though.  This card is an undivided back one, also postmarked in 1907, it was sent to Mr. S.C. Vandrame in Galveston, Texas.


These old cards are so pretty, I'm going to look for a couple of New Year's cards, they sure won't look anything like these....

    I will be on the search for Halloween ones in 2014. I saw some this year, but passed because they had writing. Now I'm like... what was I thinking!?
