Wife or sweetheart?

In my mind’s eye I can see Marie, with a smile on her face, carefully choosing this post card for her old friend Verna. What stories these two might have shared? Was there truth in her words or was it a casual tease between dear old friends?
If only the old postcards could talk….and they do! Our family has a wonderful old collection of postcards. Some are as intriguing as the one here. Others show pictures of family homes or places nearby and are great genealogical records. Vintage postcards are a wonderful legacy of times gone by.
What a lovely postcard – and I especially love the way it’s worn and wrinkled. Makes me think someone treasured it!
On another note, I hope you can join us at A Festival of Postcards for the July issue.
