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.

The willow reeds and grasses of this region are made into baskets serving many uses - cone shaped burden baskets are fastened to sticks and carried on the back; large baskets of the sort pictured here are used for the storage of grain; small ones are put to various house hold uses, even to extent of holding liquids.
