I have always had a fondness for postcards. When I was a little girl, my parents traveled to Europe for a month on vacation. I stayed with wonderful relatives while they were away. Every time that my parents reached a new destination, my father would write and send me a postcard. I still have all the postcards in a box and have cherished them for all these years.
When I reached 18, I finally went on my own trip and sent postcards home.
Later, when I got married and raised my family, my grown children went off to Europe, Israel, and Asia on numerous trips and would send postcards from every destination....My refrigerator became covered in all the postcards. It was like a little “Frigidaire Monument” to my kids!
Lately, I have been creating these little collages that are mounted on vintage books...an idea that I got from my friend Dore of Burlap Luxe because she sent one to me many months ago and I treasure it.
I design for Shabby Cottage Studio and these were made using their postcard images.
