So Many Postcards, So Little Time
I've got a bunch of postcards to post that arrived during my trip to LA. In the meantime, I'm posting this silly card. There's something about the whole thing - the copy, the picture, the pose of the guy with the vacuum cleaner - that cracks me up. Enjoy!
I've been sending and receiving postcards for over 30 years. When I travel, I send a postcard to myself, even if it's just a one day business trip. I badger my friends to send me postcards when they go on trips. I collected postcard ads from those free postcard dispensers, that used to be found near bathrooms and phone booths in public places around the world. I have a scrapbook of postcards, sent between 1902 and 1905 to my great grandfather from an aunt, who appears to have been traveling extensively around Europe. First post: July 5, 2009
