Treasures from a garage sale this past weekend. I have collected antique post cards for years. I especially love the 1909 Pink Happy New Year card. It is embossed with lace and shamrocks in gold.100 years old this year! These kinds of things have such a mystique to them. Who kept this post card all these years and why did they? Who picked it out and sent it to someone they loved? Who received it and treasured it and kept it tucked away in a book or drawer for years. Who found it and gave it away? Who collected it and held it their hands and loved it? I think of all these things when I look at something old. I love old books, photos, letters, postcards,and nostalgic bits and pieces.
