Getting Sentimental About Vintage Postcards

If you are a frequent visitor to my blog

then you'll notice I have a thing for

vintage postcards and ephemera.

Especially the kind with beautiful

images of roses.

I like to go through them, admire the artwork,

 and I'll even read them.

This one caught my eye because the address

section was written a little bit different

from the rest.

It reads:

Send me along in a rambling way,

To Millerstown Perry Co, Penna

There then let me be:

Till Mr. William Bitting

Calls for Me.

I just thought it was the sweetest sentiment

and thoughtful way to send a postcard.

Although, I'm sure if we did this now,

in most of our cities, it would

not arrive to it's destination.

But it is a time captured

forever on a postcard.

When the postman knew

there was only one person in that town

named William Bitting.

These are the sweet rewards of

antiquing buying and collecting.

I also found a few other

sweet finds this past weekend.

Stay tuned for a sneak

peek, coming up in my next post!
