| Well, I don't know about you -- buy I'm going on a summer vacation and I'm going to make a book about it! I found this scrapbook at an estate sale recently ($28!!) and it is PACKED with old photos, vintage postcards and postcard folders and "real" photo tiny postcard sets. How could I possibly resist? (rhetorical question) |
 |
| I couldn't tell much about who made this but they sure went all over -- up and down the west coast from Mexico to Alaska & Canada and to Chicago and NOLA. I am kind of miffed (don't you love that word?) that they didn't seem to visit San Francisco. I would have loved seeing vintage SF. |
 |
| I've been everywhere they went -- except for Tombstone! |
 |
| So touristy -- so tacky -- but so much fun. |
 |
| I bet they had a few margaritas too...you think? |
 |
| The guy is standing in front of a rack of postcards. I want to shop. |
 |
| New Orleans I loved seeing the photos from these pages... |
 |
| Cafe du Monde How cool is it to see how Cafe du Monde looked in 1948. (I hope you see this, Mim). |
 |
| The Nola cemeteries.... |
 |
| Old Absinthe House? And Bourbon Street.....so cool to see.. |
 |
| This photo should be up above by the Mexico photos... |
 |
| No SF but they made it to LA and saw REAL MOVIE STAR houses.... |
 |
| OLVERA STREET I love this one -- I visit Olvera Street every time I can get away with it. So fun to see it back before I was born... |
 |
| Here is the couple who did all this traveling...Her outfit still looks pretty good... these two sure seemed to have a whole lot of fun. |
 |
| My pal Kelly P gave me this book just today and I am already making pages for it . I'm going to put MY ephemera and photos and postcards from my summer trip in it. Maybe someone will buy it at an estate sale or the Vintage Paper Fair some day and be as happy as I am with the scrapbook I just bought. So, now are you inspired to make a "What I Did on my Summer Vacation" book? Where are you going? Be sure to send some postcards! SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
