Welcome to my collection of Linen Post Cards. When I was a child in the 50s my eccentric aunt Hannah sent Linen Post Cards to our house from her adventures. The simple watercolor effect they have gave me many hours of daydreams from her travels. I hope I can share a few with you. Yes cards and daydreams.

"VENEZIA"
Been there...
Done that!
I have not seen anything more beautiful than Venice and the Grand Canal.
But just remember at 5am as the sun raises its head,
they have Garbage boats on the canal.
Not quite as picturesque.

"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"
The founding of the Spanish Missions in California furnished an epic in history. These historical monuments are reminders of the great Franciscan adventure. Years of patient labor, decades of heroic sacrifice by Fray Junipera Serra and his Franciscan Brothers lie behind the era of the founding of the twenty one Missions and their branches, the ruins of which still stand in wonder and beauty, at various points along 690 miles of California's glorious coastal region.
