Found this book in an antique store some time ago and been meaning to share it. It is called 'The Mediator' and one of the pages has a clover pressed into it. I regretfully have yet to read the book. Far too many on the list.

One of my favorites: After The Storm 5613. I have yet to know the printer of the postcard, but I have a few that are similar. No writing on the back.

"Dear Mrs. Logue (Is that spell't right) [...] Fanny mentioned to me in the last letter that you were rather anxious to have a silk-worked P.C. Well, here you are. I hope you like it [...]

Yours sincerely,

I have spent several weeks with this album and I am half way through. Each page is a wonderful experience and I am excited to begin sharing my favorite postcards.

From Birthdays to Holidays, they are all gorgeous. They all belonged to one family and were from 1906-1922.
