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.

Finland - Bathing Beauties

Look at the smoking bathing beauties...bet they slathered themselves in baby oil and all those other bad things women did back in the day.

This is such a fun card, I love it!

Finland - Sunday Outing

There's no information on this postcard so I have had to use my imagination.  I have decided this family is out for a little Sunday adventure...probably rowing over to a small island to have a picnic lunch.

This card from Anna-Maria is so pretty!  She writes that this is a typical Finnish house but that the window frame is a little more decorated than ususal.    Thank you!

Finland - 1975 Poster

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!
