Eat, Drink and Play Bingo - Vintage Postcards.

These are the last of my tiny postcard collection, I am on the hunt for some more though! The top one is my favourite because I think this person was an absolute character that loved to eat, drink and play bingo. Plus I am pretty sure Ilfracombe was were my parents honeymooned. It looks really beautiful there, maybe in the summer Ed and I will voyage there in Doris. 

I found the second postcard a little hard to decipher, but that is part of the fun with these. I am a bit sad that I have come to the end of showing you these. I can't wait to rummage some more out of the past.

Hope you have some exciting plans looming for the weekend <3

Holidays from the Past - Vintage Postcards.

Spring has sprung, it is so close to camping season I can actually smell the damp grass and the cooking gas. So with that in mind here are the second couple of vintage postcards from my modest collection. The first post card is one of my favourites, it is just sooo pretty. 




Hope you have enjoyed taking a peek at these little fragments of people's lives. They just make me want to go on holiday. 

Hope you have got some wicked plans for the weekend looming.

Whispers from Vintage Postcards.

I am pretty sure that this is my new addiction, vintage postcards that have been written on. The other week when I was foraging around an antiques market I found this little cardboard box full of postcards, most were blank but I managed to find a few that had been written on! I think these are so special, especially these days when 'proper' mail is dwindling because of email and the such. These precious little memories are just wonderful, I'm so glad I saved them from that grotty cardboard box.

I have a few more of these that I will share with you over the next few weeks, I just want to find more now! I think Ed is pleased about this new addiction because it is much easier to store than china and picnic hampers.

Don't they just make you feel deliciously nosey?
