For Postcard Friendship Friday, a postcard that should have gone to the mailbox of a friend or suitor, instead of to this collector.
This was certainly a surprise in my mailbox: a real photo postcard (RPPC) received through Postcrossing from Richard, who took great care in sending it to ensure that it arrived safely. Although he did not enclose a note, I am very appreciative of his efforts.
The stampbox indicates that this card was manufactured in Germany, probably around 1912. It’s very well produced and well-preserved; it’s a card that I might have chosen for myself.

Her updo is so elaborately twisted! It’s really quite mesmerizing! I wish that I could so that:) It looks like you are having a Postcrossing ball!

From Muse Swings:
A dewey eyed miss in her hand crocheted and appliqued dress. I can’t tell what she decorated the dress with – they have an ueven look – perhaps freshwater pearls. She probably handed the postcards to her admirer(s) and whispered the message. Lovely!
From Daryl:
What a nice thing to do .. and a nice addition to your collection!
From Margo:
How beautiful. What a great find. I love her fancy hair. It almost looks as if it has been crocheted too :) Happy PFF!
