Hello fellow travelers. Today we are looking at another favorite thing from my house, this amazing postcard book that Kris bought for me in Montana. It was mailed on November 21st, 1939 at 1pm from Tucson, AZ for 1 1/2 cents. Obviously I love old things. I am simple fascinated by the stories they hold. So this book was sent to Mrs. J.W. Hardy who lived in Alameda, CA. It details different plants, cacti and flowers that can be found in the desert. It goes on to describe the deserts as "turquoise skies, far horizons, vast reaches of level mesas, blue veiled mountains with tinted peaks, and purpled shadowed canyons." Some days I dearly miss living in the desert so I love to look at these photos and imagine what Mrs. J.W. Hardy thought when she received this in the mail.
