Amazing Finds- Postcards & Pictures 

The day was beautiful for an outdoor antiques show.  It felt great to have the sun shining, a slight breeze to keep cool and rows and rows of antique wonders to view.

Postcard  Pitman, NJ 1906

I picked up several postcards of hotels and town views of places I have previously lived. Postcards are fun and do not take up a lot of room and most are reasonably priced.
 
This card shows a main street in Pitman, New Jersey.
The card is easy to date because of the postal stamp, 1906.
Other ways to identify the date of the card include the white border
and the message on the front.  The back of the card is undivided.

My next purchase was slightly larger.  It included a photo of Jenny Lind in the original frame. 

Original Frame & Photo of Jenny Lind

Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm in 1820.  She began a singing career at the age of 10.
She was known as the "Swedish Nightingale"  She toured America, Canada, Cuba, and Europe and for a time accompanied PT Barnum.  Hans Christian Anderson was romantically attracted to Jenny Lind.  It is said that several of his stories are based on Jenny Lind.  She had a long successful career that included singing, charity work, and teaching music.  It is unfortunate that there is no known recording of her voice.

Till next time, stay well, stay happy.
