Envelopes from Hawaii Old Airmail Style - with photographs



Posted by PicasaWhen I visited Hawaii years ago I found packages of envelopes in a Stationery Store.  I wish I had bought more although I am still saving a few for special mailings.  Now you do not find airmail stripes on most envelopes.  First Class Mail pretty much automatically goes airmail.  I love the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach.  The first photo is on the back of the envelope.  Ah to fly to Hawaii to escape the cold.

Montana's Designated Driver Humorous Postcard


Montana's Designated Driver
I may have shared this postcard before but it
reminded me of the the cups of coffee
our designated driver had on New Years Eve.

Digital Tags for my old buttons

I love printing out tags to display my old buttons. And of course I love cats. I sometimes punch a hole at the end to hang as a gift tag with a present. I sew on the buttons so that they can be reused. I choose antique postcards and also make copies to use for Button Cards.

Vintage Print Boy with his puppies

Don't have much time to write but am just sharing a nice old print. Outside
a lot due to 60 degree temperates I could be playing with my cats on our fence.

Relatives in Washington State 1900 Old Photograph


This is photograph we found in a box
from my Dads estate. We believe it is
my Grandfather and other Family
members. It is on the porch of their
old cabin in Southern Washington
near the Oregon border. Otherwise I
don't know too much about the people.

ak-sar-ben spells what backwards? And how many people in this postcard?

I loved this postcard for the number of people watching this parade, the AK-SAR-BEN Parade.  I have listed it on ebay (papel1 ID) but did not do my research until now.  Found out that spells Nebraska backwards.  This is based on a Fraternal type organization in Omaha Nebraska.

Postcard with 1913 calendar


Yesterday all the old calendars came down and the new ones went up.  It reminded me that I had this postcard to share. The calendar is intact and next year it will be an antique.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
