Yesterday I went to the little
antique store up the road from me and picked up a few things I couldn't live without including several vintage postcards. Apparently I was in a flowery/Valentine mood because these are the ones I chose:
 |
Embossed postcard circa 1910 |
 |
Back of 1910 postcard. Love that address. |
 |
Embossed postcard printed in Germany. |
 |
Embossed postcard with gold detail printed in Saxony. |
 |
Embossed postcard printed in Germany. It actually has a metallic gold moire finish. |
 |
Embossed postcard. |
This last one is my favorite. Check out the tart with her sugar daddy.
 |
Linen finish postcard from 1945. |
 |
Back of Baked Ham postcard. |
As awesome as the front of that card is, the message on the back is even better. It's hard to read so I'll translate as best I can:
Dear Bud & all,
Had a wonderful time only too short. Thanks for everything.
Will talk to Mr. Smith tomorrow & more than likely find out something I hope.
Worked from 5:30 until 5:45 this p.m. & am I tired.
Spent the night with Bob & [Trish?] last night. Will write more later.
Love, Irene
Bless her heart. Irene worked 15 minutes last night and wore herself out. She and I could have been best friends, I just know it.
