Antique postcards are a direct link to the past. The wondeful old images are so classic, so timeless, so fresh, so innocent. The beautifully illustrated and handwritten messages sent among friends tell their stories in brief...little windows into their lives...their joys, their heartaches, their routines. The fabric designs in this book pay homage to their yesteryear lives and are as appropriate in a contemporary home as they are in a rustic primitive home.
