FABULOUS FLORIDA FAVORITES
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 Monterey Cypress
Monterey California
The picturesque Monterey cypress and pine trees cling to precarious footholds on the cliffs, still lifting their gnarled branches in defiance to the ocean gales which have twisted them into such grotesque shapes.
