Old postcards. 

 I collect postcards but I am very specific in my quest – I collect vintage hay making postcards 
(which will be no surprise for those that have been following this blog for a while). 

Many of my postcards date back to the early 1900’s. I am fascinated by the scale of the hay stacks and different techniques used. A moment in time captured in each postcard. 

Are you a collector? What do you collect?

    Love your post cards.
    I am a hoarder rather than a collector. Books (by the thousands) and earrings (by the hundreds).

    They had a cleverness about them when you really look at what they could accomplish.

    I so love these....I love looking at old photographs so much. Now I will always be watching for old postcards like this. I guess you could say I collect fabric! And also books about living/moving to Alaska, Yukon, points north.

    That is a lot of different ways of making or storing hay. I guess they had to wait for our John Deere stuff to get created.

    I have a collection of old Blue Mountains postcards that I gathered in various markets in the UK years ago. My other collections are glass paperweights and zillions of books. I am trying to "uncollect" now.
