Princess Diana Postcard




Hello everyone! I went to an antique postcard show a week ago and bought a ton of vintage postcards. This isn't normally the type of card I would go for, but the beautiful stamps on the back are what sold me.

Message:

Hi, guys --
Survived yesterday under a lowering gray sky (doesn't  the sun ever shine in this country?) and am trying to decide which to hit first on Monday; Stanley Gibbons or the Imperial War Museum. Of course, if I go to SG I probably won't have enough money left to get into the IWM, so it looks like it's the museum first. Stay safe and I'll see you in a week. Grant

Memorial Hospital Card




Another vintage postcard, I bought it two years ago on my birthday. Its a bit hard for me to read, and I really can only make out the first two lines and every other word for the rest of it. If you have better luck than me let me know!

Donkey Postcard



A sweet little card I picked up at a antique shop for just a dollar. The message is sweet but sad, and I wish I could give this lady a hug and some company like she seemed to long for. The card is textured and raised in a few places which is probably why Pauline wrote on the front. No address or other writings on the back so I can't do any background research on who she was or who she sent it to.

Message:

Sept.23.1907
From Aunt Pauline

Madge dear how would you like to have this little donkey? I wish I had you out here with me. You would be so much company for me.
