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 Bill,
Drop you a line this evening to let you know I'm still thinking of the old town. Well I got to see Washington D.C. Sunday. I sure enjoyed myself. I got to go to the top of Washington Monument. You can sure get a good view of the Capital from way up there.
If I can get another pass I want to go to New York City. I probably wont be here more than two wks. longer though, so I don't know whether I will get another pass or not. Write and tell me all the news. Your Pal, (?) Puts

Sincere Apology
Just wanted to take a moment to say I am sorry for my behavior. I have been lazy and a little bored. I was thinking of what direction I should go next. It so happens I have a great collection of Large Letter Linen Post Cards. I thought I will give you some images and memories of maybe your state or hometown. Hope you will enjoy the Large Letter cards.
I hope everything will get back to normal soon.
Be safe in these unusual times.
Stay home and stay well.
Michael
