New England...The prize has to go to Lady Penelope.<br /><br />New England :shakeshead:...I'd probably eaten 5,000 lbs of raw Apalachicola oysters before I even knew there was a place called Maine...much less that they had lobsters. Pfffff<br />:)<br /><br />I love the gigantic Coke-cola sign in Piccadilly.<br /><br />There's a stash of postcards at an antique store here...and like you I cannot just thumb through them. So, I just stick to buying two or three at a time and when I've got those I stop. My favorites are a section of Meso-American (could be Inca, Aztec...I don't remember) wall...with carved faces sticking out of it. Then there's a colored picture from the Parlor in Mark Twain Caverns. Each section and bump is painted in a different pastel color...it's beautiful really.Erik Bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401279267556576137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-35885444847832221332014-07-15T22:51:20.634+01:002014-07-15T22:51:20.634+01:00The dull seaside ones can be just that, dull; but ...The dull seaside ones can be just that, dull; but the scribbled words on the other side often contain comedy gold.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-41974840074056839042014-07-15T22:40:55.661+01:002014-07-15T22:40:55.661+01:00Ah- might have to start a little postcard series, ...Ah- might have to start a little postcard series, then - there are some cool ones I've been given/sent too.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-34842144890785043002014-07-15T22:38:26.588+01:002014-07-15T22:38:26.588+01:00Hi - yes postcards and flyers are great, aren'...Hi - yes postcards and flyers are great, aren't they? - I should put mine in an album too, at the moment they're just loose in random places... good idea about Pinterest!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-51325180230309266142014-07-15T22:34:54.279+01:002014-07-15T22:34:54.279+01:00You have to go through a lot of very similar photo...You have to go through a lot of very similar photo montages of seaside towns to get them though... <br />I do know what you mean about wondering about what else you might have missed.

I love the Saffron Walden linocut and, of course, the cool Lady Penelope card too.<br />I don't know if you're like me, but whenever I stumble upon some treasure in a charity shop, usually records in my case, however good it is, or they are, my first thought is always...'This person clearly had great taste - I wonder what else they donated that I've missed'.
