FirstPostcard

I talked last time about the postcard that got me hooked. It was a simple Christmas postcard sent from one young woman to another. The receiver lived in Barnesville, Ohio which is about half-way between Cambridge, OH and St. Clairsville to the east. It looks to be a very small town, even today. So, this is the postcard.FirstPostcard I know it looks very ordinary, but, at the time, it really grabbed me. And I have been a postcard fan ever since. I also think that postcards appeal to visual people. There is something just about the picture or the photograph that makes it a small work of art. That sounds simplistic, I know. But, true. We see the pc and think, “ooow, pretty picture, shiny” and we instinctively reach for it. lol Maybe it is just that simple. Until next time

  1. Ohhh…I love it. I just adore their handwriting, don’t you. It is a lost art! I love my old cards. They make me feel like I am holding a piece of history and a piece of someone’s life. I am a sentimental person, so that appeals to me!

    Oh, and your card that you sent me is being posted on Sunday. Check it out. I mailed you a postcard from MD today!
