I had such a collection of the coolest postcards but stored them in a shed which, we found out too late, leaked! The entire box was ruined, all the cards destroyed. I enjoy this post so much. The collage farther down your blog of the mermaid was very interesting. I just gave away a mermaid that was a bit similar in a swap. My Folk Art mermaid was tossing shells to the shore.

Those vintage post cards are quite the site to see. I wish I had kept mine when I was younger to look back upon.

The card to Ernest Patterson looks like the address is Cambridge, Ohio – just what it appears to be to me – enjoyed reading all the cards – like a trip to the past.

My housework, family and everything else (including the dog) has gone hang today, since I discovered your website! Am leaving my chair at the computer only to go reluctantly to bed!

What’s written on the back of postcards (even the very enigmatic ones!) is often greater than the picture, and surprising touching sometimes. If you like that sort of snatch of real people from the past, it’s worth spending an hour (or more) on the Library of Congress website “American History” section, where there’s the most magic collection of letters following a young couple in the Civil War thro’ their homesteading days. Sounds dry and academic, but these are real people in real times, and some of it’ll make you cry for sure.

Again, the website is great – will look forward to the newsletter and plenty of revisits!

Kind regards from England, Hazel

Karen, the coded postcard really made me laugh! I think John is a little short in the romance department! I wonder how he fared… I wasn’t sure if you’d decoded it or not, but if anyone wonders:

Wednesday. Dearest, I guess the only way to get you to write oftener is to send you a line every day. This is a hot evening. Love and kisses. From John
