A gorgeous postcard from Amina landed in my mailbox today.  So pretty!  This is Brugge, her hometown, which is filled with many medieval buildings, cobblestones and canlas.  It is so lovely!  Thank you!

Swap - Joy Division

Au has sent me this wonderful Ian Curtis postcard!!  Ian fronted the influential post-punk band Joy Division until his self-inflicted death on the eve of their first tour in 1980. Joy Division went on to become New Order, another very influential band of that era.  Wonderful addition to my collection!

I love cornbread!  It's not as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Thanks Susan, I'm going to go preheat the oven! :)

August NA RR - Welcome to Paradise

A wonderful card from Rocky!  This picture sort of reminds me of a dollhouse, but I digress.  This beauty is the Paradise Motor Inn and Restaurant in Bennington, Vermont.  It features 47 soundproof rooms and suites, some with sauna bath! The rooms have individually controlled heat and a/c, wall-to-wall carpet, custom styled decor, room phones, cocktail lounge, function rooms, banquet facilities, heated pool, panoramic view of the Green Mountains and complimentary breakfast served in room!  The Paradise Restaurant, a Gourmet favourite since 1927 adjoins the Motor Inn.

Looks like this multigenerational business still exists!
