a handwritten note

i've had these a while.

i bought them 

at a little shop.

i love the handwriting,

and the stamps & postmarks,

and how the addresses

have very little detail

and still managed to 

find their destination.

and i love the fact that 

'miss hardy' 

received quite a lot of mail.

i am a crazy collector -

i know.

Hope this will please you and this is what I am going to do coming home from the social.  

Love from one you know
