…if you can part with them.
Exploration leads to discovery
I found these at a little vintage shop, Pretty Little Things in the neighborhood of Calgary called Inglewood. This area of Calgary is one of my favorite haunts to date. And, it would seem I am not alone in my fondness for the place as Inglewood was recently named Canada’s greatest neighbourhood.
Photos as postcards
Of course, when I came across these, I actually thought they were postcards, but upon closer inspection realized they were a series of souvenir photos from L’Abbaye de Liguge in France. What I don’t know is what year they are from. Any guesses?
What makes a great library?
To me, this last photo, the one with the woman in a library, is the best. Just look at all those books! Did you see the chest of drawers off to the left that, I would imagine, houses the index cards? You can almost smell the musty pages.
In any event, I can’t keep everything I find, so I will be sending these off in the post as miniature postcards. Let me know if you want one. Seriously. I would love to send you one.
Do you have a favorite library? What makes it so?
I would love to receive a vintage photo postcard from you Barb 🙂
What a great idea!!
Love your blog and the creative new ideas you are consistently coming up with….

It’s in the mail today Lisa! Hope you enjoy it. Couldn’t fit many words on it, but still very fun. So glad you enjoy the blog, I sure do have fun with my crazy ramblings! 🙂 Thanks for stopping in for a visit.
Love this idea! As a vintage postcard collector, I am always pinning old postcard images on Pinterest in case I want to use them as cards one day. You’ve given me inspiration to put them into action!
Lisa, I need to hear more about your vintage postcard collection? Sounds so fascinating. I just popped over to your Pinterest, you will have to let me know where you hide all the postcard pins. I popped a few in the mail myself today. Thanks for your ‘hello.’
