View of Toledo from Across Maumee River, Toledo, Ohio
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.

Dear Marge, First day, first meal, first Post Card, first menu! The menu alone was four pages - this doesn't include the wine list or the cocktail list. It was one of the biggest problems of my life. We started with burgundy ($1:00 a glass) - then Onion soup and for the entrée, a combination of crab meat and ham cooked in butter. I finished with Cherries ice cream & rum. P.S. The Coffee was good too. Hungry?
