Hi Carl, I like the postcards you shared. The Chrysler Building pc is my fave. It is a 'linen' postcard (linen because of the surface texture, not what it is made of). Linen postcards typically have saturated colors and white borders. The scenic postcards were also know as "views."
If anyone is interested, Collectors Weekly has a great article on Linen Postcards.

I recently got mail from Steph Dobson, and one of the goodies she gave me is a vintage photograph of a child (girl?) and a dog (in motion, like most pets when you want to take a photo).
I'm guessing Steph read my comment in the group discussion about especially loving photos 'with children and dogs." Thanks so much, Steph!
Down the road I'll share some of the other children / dog photos I have!

Is anyone interested in swapping art with me? I have lots of free time now because of coronavirus.

Nancy Bell Scott
Yes, that's a lovely piece, Carien. The old handwriting seemed unique enough to each person to be a fingerprint. And the surviving examples are all so graceful. Could everyone have been graceful? In handwriting it seems they were!

Carien van Hest
I cannot tell you anything about this illustration. I searched for vintage on a free database website and found this gorgeous lady. I cannot detect anything about the handwriting, except that it looks very old....

Thanks so much for having me. I love vintage, especially from the 40s and 50s. I enjoy using photos, papers (especially old books), and all sorts of ephemera in collages. I will upload some pieces soon.

A postcard my sister sent me with my maternal Grandmother's name.
Image of a car I used in a zine about some of my favorite vintage things.
Aug 29, 2020
Jayne Barket Lyons
Terry Owenby, so glad to have you in our group! The vintage automobile image is great. How long ago did you do your zine? Regarding the postcard with your Grandmother's name - it appears to be old, but I am wondering if your sister added the name, or happened to find it that way? Either way, it is lovely! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jayne, thanks for your interest in my posts! I made the zine several months ago. I love making zines but have a hard time thinking of ideas for them. My sister happened to find the card with my Grandma's name. Quite a find!
