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.

Fabulous Florida Favorites
Wonder House
Bartow, Florida
Conrad Schuck's WONDER HOUSE
Interesting - Instructive - Inspiring
This house, fifteen years under construction and still unfinished, combines many sensational features of modern house construction for comfort and convenience. Packed full of unique ideas and step-saving devices. Beautiful hand- laid tile work nd landscaping add much interest to the building. A surprise at every turn.
I happened to be in the area and searched out the Wonder House.
The house is now empty and for sale. Would love to own it. It would be so much fun. Has had some restoration done since 2000. Still needs lots of love.
Enjoy the little video I put together.
