I simply LOVE old postcards... I remember as a little girl, looking through musty and dusty shoeboxes in the basement, wondering about the faces & places of a past era.  WHO were these people & what were their lives like?  And WHERE were these places?  It wasn't until many years later that I realized these were "Penny Postcards" because they required just 1¢ to mail.  Now, with the age of faxes and emails, who even gets a written letter anymore, not to mention a card with the sender's family or town pictured on it.  This truly is a long lost art of a simpler era...  ENJOY THE POSTCARDS and if you have ANY you would like to share, just email me!
