Vintage Postcards

Last Thursday,  I took off an hour early because I had a hair appointment. Then I went to  Boardtown Trading Post afterward to browse their vintage books, but when I arrived they were about to close.   My daydream of  having a new haircut/vintage shopping combo was crushed.   But the owner told me I could look around while she closed everything down.  So I immediately went to look for some lovely postcards since I had no idea where the books were and didn’t want to seem difficult.  I am glad that I did.

I really love vintage postcards.  I especially love when they have been mailed and have a little note on the back or maybe a fun vintage stamp.   I love the idea of someone receiving the postcard and liking it so much that they kept it forever.

I had no idea why they called it Pirates Alley until I read this card.

I love that this postcard refers to New Orleans as America’s Most Interesting City.  I would have to agree.

Notice this postcard is from 1909.

This post card reads:

Dear Friend,

I got your card this morning.  You just call for me here in the hospital anytime just ask some of the nurses in the office.  They will tell you I am on the third floor.  Just come anytime.

Your Friend,

Lena
