Back in 1973, our daughter was a sophomore at Kansas University and we were living in Newton, Kansas, just north of Wichita. This was a postcard that she sent just before coming home a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. I laugh at her mentioning the time of her departure for return to school depended on the "food". What a difference in communication there is now compared to way back in the "old days"! Glad I saved the card - I thought it was so very pretty. Nice to run across little pieces of the past like this. Go to

YES! I was in college (for the second time) in 1973, but I was also prepared for the second time around, and married to boot. She was attracted to the Arts and talented, or just attracted to good art?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I LOVE this style--and I remember those postcards from the 1970's.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful wonderful postcard!
Happy pFF!
A very beautiful card. Your daughter certainly fits a lot of conversation in a small space, I like the don't forget to pick me up, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I'm glad you saved it too. I remember sending postcards home my freshman year of college. I don't think many people did it. I just always liked postcards.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I sent that very same card to someone earlier this year, so clearly I think it's lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of different posters from that series that I bought when they were new! I was wondering if any others were saved. Mine are posters advertising bicycles.
ReplyDeletePostcards by this art nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha, are very collectible. I like this one better than others of his I've seen.
