Postcard Friendship Friday



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

  1. 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?

  4. Lovely. 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.

  5. What a coincidence! I sent that very same card to someone earlier this year, so clearly I think it's lovely. :)

  6. I 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.

  7. Postcards by this art nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha, are very collectible. I like this one better than others of his I've seen.
