Post Card Frid...er... Saturday

Yep, a day late, but I have a good excuse! I was getting ready for a party last night. It was small but it was fun, and maybe more on it later, hehe.



In the meantime - here is my offering for this week!

This is my actual book of the postcards people have been sending me for... decades (Criminy am I old!). There are actually enough postcards that don't fit in this album that I need to make another book. Unfortunately, I can't find the type of book anymore that lets me put different sized pictures in the same album. Time to hit eBay, I guess, see what's there.

Anyway, I digress  ;-)

This is one of my favorite postcards I've ever received. Some of my friends know I collect them, and so find really unique ones to send me. This one was from years ago, when my collection was much smaller. Still one of my faves, though. 

Because look at that - that is *wood*. Yes it is - a wooden postcard! And so awesome because instead of just bringing it back with him and handing it to me, my friend knew that I preferred them to be sent *from* the place. And to send this bad boy, he had to go to the post office! Why? Because the wood won't go through the sorting machines and had to be hand cancelled (that stamp with the date, location, etc) so it could be sent. How cool is that!

Here's the back. Yes, once upon a time (and sometimes still) I was known as Pepita, lol. 


Hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend!

:)
