Vintage Postcards ~ Around the World in an Afternoon!

Yes, today's postcards all originate from out side of the United States....some near some far and some I'm not quite sure where they are! (ha ~ that rhymes and I wasn't even trying - LOL!! yes I know, some days it doesn't take much to tickle me...today is one of those days!!)

So how about it, wanna go on a little trip around the world with me???

If anyone knows where some of these are from, please feel free to post!

I'd love to know a bit more about them!
Thanks to everyone who e-mailed or posted on the 2 mystery cards!! It's so much fun to find out more about them!!

  1. Very cool, Roni! Where did you get them? I can't help with the German (or whatever it is!), but the Italy one that you are unsure of says, "Florence--the front of the Cathedral" (I may be paraphrasing--my Italian isn't stellar!). Can't wait to see these reincarnated into something even more fabulous!!!
