Bèsame* I received that vintage postcard today. I wonder who it was that the postcard was meant for?

Things like that intrigue me to no end, and I like to use my imagination to make up possible scenario!

When I was working for Follett Higher Education Group, I found an Irish postcard in one of the books. I received a postcard from Nice, France. One of my Irish friends sent it to me. I put it in a frame!

Then I shall make up the scenario... that the card was meant for some nice young lady written by a fine young gentleman who she had entertained once in the family parlor! He wanted to share the beauty of autumn foliage and had decided what better way than with a postcard!

Homoe,

Glad you liked the card! I love the Daytona Beach beachside and I love driving up A1A towards Flagler Beach. Hurricane Matthew destroyed about a five mile stretch! http://a.abcnews.com/images/US/HT_WF...07_4x3_992.jpg

I went to the mall yesterday and found that Books-A-Million sells postcards. I picked up a package of really cute ones. I will be mailing them out in envelopes.

Is that Books-A-Million just a local chain?

It's primarily a Southeastern based company. Many moons ago, I worked for them. It was dangerous for my wallet!

If they have books, postcards, and greeting cards it'd be downright dangerous for me and my wallet as well!

Plus electronic gadgets, stuffed animals, children's toys and fun kitschy type stuff. Add to that, I was the customer service desk manager and had the power to order any book I wanted for myself, employees or customers.

Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise then, that they are a Southeastern based company!

I recall 1/2 Price Books sells postcards too. I remember the stores in San Antonio did.

Ok, funny story..

After I moved here, I started noticing what I passed on the way to work. The restaurants, the grocery stores, my bank, and various places I would go too. I noticed I passed a 1/2 Book Store. Ok, file that for later when I want to sell books and stuff.

Well, now I need postcards. One day after work, I sat in my car, and googled the directions. I wasn't quite sure of the exit of the freeway, or was it off the access road? Texas, has one way access roads that run alongside of the highways. ( just doesn't make sense, I tell you) Couldn't find it, but I know it's over there~~~~>

So I head on over to find some goodies. Drove into the parking lot. Got out, walked to the sidewalk out side of the store. Hmm, a huge roll of bubble wrap, and a pile of boxes. I was disappointed to say the least. They must have moved and didn't take the sign down. , ...ok so since then, I've gone to the local antique stores to find postcards.

Oh, let say, about two weeks later, on my way to work. I saw that sign again. But wait..there is no "k".

That there "k" is most definitely and "X". 1/2 Price Boxes!

I only saw what I wanted to see. So...still on the prowl for postcards. I'm going out of state...which means I have to drive across the huge state of Texas. I'm postcard stopping along the way!!your in for a treat...Buckees post card..lol

Thank you, Besame and Georgia, for the lovely postcards. Besame, yours arrived right on schedule on Halloween!

GeorgiaMa'am · 11-01-2016, 07:22 PM

homoe, Thank you for the beautiful hand-decorated card, and also the cards from Chicago. They brought back some fond memories. I've been to Chicago several times, and it's one of my favorite places. My idea of a fun vacation is to stay at the Palmer House and go to the Lyric Opera. I know, I'm a nerd. Chicago has many other things I enjoy as well. Thanks for reminding me!

Zimmeh · 10-18-2016, 08:40 AM

I am not sure.
