Little postcards, notes, old photographs and the like from other times never cease to capture my imagination, there's always a mysterious person behind the relics they left behind, with their own stories you'll never hear, all we have of their life is a little note on the back of a pretty postcard or a an inscription on a gift they received from an aunt. So we're left to wonder.
I wonder who Miss Margaret who received this was; what colour hair did she have? Maybe she liked to draw? I do know that whoever sent her this had handwriting that I cannot decipher very easily. And that the postal stamp says it was posted in the August of 1911 in Bluemont, Virginia.
It's also curious that it ended up in Australia and eventually, in my possession.
I love vintage postcards, but I've never come across any this old and this beautiful! Lucky you for finding it :)

Very interesting, it's great to think about the story behind that simple postcard.
ReplyDeleteI love making up my own stories about the previous owner of vintage things I find or the people in old black and white photos.. It's really fascinating to think about the people of the past, how they looked, behaved, thought and felt.
