My Vintage Postcard Collection #1
Wednesday August 3rd, 2011, 9 months, 3 weeks and 2 days ago
I have a big collection of Victorian & Edwardian postcards, mainly collected in the ’80s when they were cheap & plentiful. They’re so pretty! I keep them in vintage postcard albums & nice boxes & take them out of the cupboard every so often to play with. Many of them are from this fabulous secondhand book shop called Edmonds (now sadly closed) where we’d spend wintery Sunday afternoons rummaging & foraging & coaxing out treasures. It was dark & cluttered & smelled like dust & musty old paper & gas from the fire & tobacco. I loved that place…

You’re most welcome! :)
These are lovely! It was a sad day when Edmonds closed down.
It sure was…where have all the secondhand bookshops gone?
Just found your blog and must say: wow! Lots of eye candy in every corner of your part of the web. Yum!
