Animal Badminton

A little levity -

I love this color illustration of the squirrel and rabbits playing badminton.  It certainly evokes springtime, doesn't it?
It is such a cute card - The illustration is somewhat reminiscent of Beatrix Potter.  It is also similar to the Shopping Kitties card I posted last fall.  There is something charming about cute animals doing human tasks.
A lovely vintage card.

Another look at Bryn Mawr

A companion to yesterday's Bruyn Mawr postcard.

This one depicts a lovely arch on campus in this black and white photo postcard.
I love the look of the arch and the ivy.  I love how mysterious and dark the entrance to the arch looks.  It would be a great piece for a collage.  To borrow this image for your own artwork, click on the image for a larger view.  Then right click to save to your computer.  For personal use only, please.

Bryn Mawr Photos

I have a lovely collection of black and white Bryn Mawr photo postcards.

These uncirculated postcards show the beautiful campus - they would be lovely to use in collage or other art projects.  

Caption this!

This dark and somewhat damaged vintage photo postcard is still interesting to me.  It's a photo of 5 people standing out in the wind - only one of them is actually looking at the camera.  One of the men has a lawn mower, one of the women has a hose perhaps.  They have odd clothes, what's with that lady's hat?  They are standing in a desolate looking area...

What's their story?

Perhaps five friends plotting a scheme? 
Visit Friendship Friday on Beth's blog to check out some more great postcards!  Happy Friday!

First American

Another Native American post card. This color postcard shows a cute photo of a Native American child.  I presume it's a hand colored black and white photograph. 

The text says "First American" smile to you!  This little guy is much happier than this one!

Nothing to write home about

An odd postcard, commemorating a bridge tragedy in West Virgina.  Sad, yes.  Something use on a postcard greeting?  I don't know that I would choose this one off the dime store rack.

The back reads: "U.S. History's Worst Hwy. Bridge Disaster SILVER BRIDGE, carrying U.S. #35 Hwy. from POINT PLEASANT, WEST VIRGINA over the Ohio River COLLAPSED 15 Dec 67, killing 46.  Railroad bridge in background is still in use."

Mineature Postcard

This vintage photo postcard is tiny.  It measures at 2"x4".  There is barely enough room to write an address and place a stamp on the back. There is no information about this well dressed couple. 

From the looks of the back of this uncirculated postcard, it was once glued to a photo album.

What do you think?
