Finland - Barn

There is no description of this rustic little shack on the card so I'm not sure where or what it is.  It is very charming though in it's lonely little way.

Finland - Grandma's Apron and Stool

It was a long awaited moment when the first new potatoes of the season were pulled up.  They were scrubbed clean in cold well water with a stub of a broom.  Boiled potatoes were served with summer butter, salted fish or occasionally with smoke-cured meat.  Grandma's apron and stool in western Finland.

I absolutely love this postcard!   So groovy!  Very 1975.  It reads to the effect of:  "Also a small letter brings big joy".    Just like postcards!
