Out & About: Postcard from Singapore
http://stenaros.blogspot.com/2014/12/postcard-from-singapore.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. This is from the lovely Kathleen, whose blog. She remembered that I loved the Vanishing Trades stamp. And so she sent me a new one in the series. Apparently the postage went up, so there are more vanishing trades for us. This is a picture of the Garland Maker. December 29, 2014 at 3:22 PM. Love the postcard, and the stamp is pretty cool too.

Friday, December 26, 2014. Postcards from Graceland (via Texas) and Minnesota. This is from Heather, who picked out this card because the back also had a picture of the Graceland Kitchen. Which is fab, I agree. I'm not eating one of those sandwiches, though. Nuh-uh. You can't make me. This is from Sara, who got it while Christmas shopping at the Kate Spade store. It's pretty, especially for an advertisement postcard. Links to this post. Thursday, December 25, 2014. Links to this post. Links to this post.
