Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Vintage Postcards}

December 14, 2007



I have been looking around my house for these cards for a few weeks now. I found them last spring and tucked them away. The vintage postcards are part of a collection that was found among some old family photos. They belonged to my Great-Grandmother…most had been sent to my Great-Uncle Leslie (my grandfather’s little brother) between 1910-1913. There are sweet notes on the backside, one cent postage etc. True treasures and these cards are just a few from the collection. I am blessed that my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother took such excellent care of these pieces of ephemera.

The cards are some “vintage freebies” for your pleasure! I hope you enjoy them.
I have scanned them at a very high resolution and if you click you may save them for use in your artwork. Enjoy!
