How cool. I remember the days (long) before digital cameras when we would buy a post card in a town we were visiting to keep a picture of the place we had visited. :)
The mailboxes make the prettiest picture - the sort of thing I love to see when I travel - sometimes more interesting than the important monuments. The hallowe'en postcard is too sweet!
Snap~ What gorgeous stamps and I adore the vintage Halloween one with the black cats! This time of year especially I'm wishing my sweet black kitty was still around to photograph :)
Those bird stamps are cute and love the Halloween postcard from 1908! That is really gorgeous! What a treasure!

I wanted to share a couple of postcards with you before my day gets swamped!
I love this postcard from Shanghai of the old mailboxes on Yuyuan Lane.
My good friend is in China studying on a Fulbright and she sends me a postcard every now and then.
The photograph is by Yin Ying.

The stamps are lovely.

One more postcard to celebrate Halloween.
This is a reproduction of a vintage Halloween postcard
from the Halloween Postcard Book published by Darling & Company, Seattle.

There is no artist or publisher listed on the back of the postcard,
but on the bottom of the card it reads
Painting Copyright by -- and then I can't make out the rest --
1908.
Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.
Wishing you well and a fun filled weekend!

Wow!! I never had a mailbox and I'm thinking of constructing my own, I'll paint it red, similar to that one on the left on your China postcard :)

A good picture of the mail boxes. How does anyone know which to use I think but then I guess if you lived there it would be common knowledge.
