September NA RR - King Kong

This one comes to me from Rocky...I saw it on his profile and quickly added it to my Postcrossing Favourites.  I am convinced, based on his Flickr albums, that he has the postcard collection of my dreams! He has some weird, wacky stuff!  Thanks, Rocky!

Swap - TraveLodge Lawrence

My swapping buddy Eric has done it again!  He's send me another epic postcard for my motel collection.  Sadly this motel no longer exists.

"70 unites - central heat and air conditioning - direct dial phones - free local calls - heated pool - color tv in all rooms - executive suite wheelchair units - private balconies - near University of Kansas and Downtown - Adjacent to City Park and Shopping Center"

Swap - Elvis Presley Portrait

Another fantastic card from Lidia.  Thank you! 

Swap - Brushing my Teeth

This fun postcard came to me from Lidia in Germany.  I love it! 

September NA RR - The Coach House Inn

"The casual elegance of an English Country Inn - nestled at the foot of the North Shore mountains and streams.  Minutes away from golf, riding, fishing, skiing, tennis and swimming in our own heated pool.  The scenic delights of Vancouver and its international shops await you.  Delicious meals prepared by our chef in the coffee shop or dining room.  Banquet facilities available.  Entertainment in our lounge nightly.  Families most welcome.  Located by the the fourth exit north of the Second Narrows Bridge, in North Vancouver. 

Visit the Guv'nor's, our English style sing-a-long pub for an evening of riotous good fun."

Road trip! :)  Thanks, Kelly!

Swap - Ribbon Candy

My father always had ribbon candy in the house at Christmas.  This postcard from Linda brings back memories of her childhood Christmases and mine as well.  Thank you, Linda!

Swap - Brandenburg Gate

Karin moved to Berlin a year before the Wall came down and she well remembers the times when the Gate was closed.  Lovely card and story.  Thank you Karin!

Swap - Portrait of Miss Sun

This postcard from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum was sent to me by WeiShan and is a watercolour portrait of Miss Sun.  She looks quite deep in thought. I wonder what she is thinking?

This postcard featuring Ruby Beach has such spectacular colours! 

September NA RR - The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze

Love this vintage card from Michele featuring the electrifying Elvin Bale performing fantastic feats on the trapeze in the Red Unit of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

September NA RR - Haridressing Salon, circa 1956

This wonderful card was sent to me by Valerie who, like me, is charmed by scenes like this.  I always get the warm fuzzies when I see images like this.  Thank you, Valerie! 

September NA RR - Virginia Covered Bridges

Kenoshia sent me this gorgeous card featuring the covered bridges of Virginia.  Today only six covered bridges remain in Virginia.  It's so sad to see them go.
