Vintage Postcards #1


One of my favorite haunts has boxes and boxes full of postcards, which are my all time favorite things to collect. I have one from almost every place I’ve been and one from every cracker barrel I’ve been in! When I dragged my dad to go to the secondhand bookstore I love, The Book Garden, I bought some of the most interesting ones, even if I haven’t been to the places yet. Here they are..



Yucca in Bloom in Southern California- postmarked March 28th 1933





Redwood empire in San Francisco





Ribbon Fall, Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park- pos marked 1929






St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol - a part of the Valentine’s series






5978 Skipton Castle, the courtyard- a part of the Grano series





Westminster Abbey, London- there is writing on it but no postmarks
