Yosemite Postcards, Outdoor campfire on Quilted Runner- embroidered

I am working on a table runner to put in our RV, I am going to embroider different camping scenes on 4 or 5 blocks.  Here is the campfire yet to be finished.

 Here is part of the runner with decorative squares, (notice tent at bottom) with more plain ones.  I displayed 3 Yosemite National Park Postcards (California). The additional tent is an old well used coaster.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Little Chief Pancho St Louis Zoo Chimpanzee Show 1950 Postcard

Pancho (Little Chief), two and a half years old, is one of the rising young stars  of the St. Louis Zoo's Chimpanzee Show.  His serious mien, pride in his colorful costume and a walk all his own already have made him a favorite with audiences.  The Chimpanzee Show, which opens in May and continues through October is one of three free animal shows at the St. Louis Zoo.

Greetings from Alabama, Greetings from Connecticut Map Postcards

Love the vintage postcards for STATE MAPS...Makes a nice topic for collecting while traveling,,  Usually you find the state flower, bird listed on each card.  Illustrations for many of the cities and historical sites are included.  You can find new State Map postcards at the souvenir shops or older ones at the antique, collectible stores.  Of course they are for sale on eBay too.

Greetings from St. Cloud Minnesota Postcard Canoeing and Camping

Sometimes I think these old postcards are generic.  It looks like the publishers printed in St. Cloud after the words Greetings from....These camping photos could be anywhere up in Minnesota or Wisconsin or....But they are neat pictures of fun family camping.  Why was my last RVing experience (not quite rustic camping) not too ideal, desert winds (well what did I expect being 100 miles from Death Valley) flies, dust etc.  But we had fun in Lone Pine with wonderful views of Mt Whitney and sleeping well to the wind blowing through the Aspen tree.  Now for cooler weather and more camping.
