Backbone of the Continent, Colorado

Backbone of the Continent, Colorado

Mailed July 12, 1912. Decent condition, but there the edges are a bit rough and there’s some discoloration. Really pretty picture though and the note is one of my favorites, in all its oddness.

HANDWRITTEN: “I am at Crags, Boulder Co. Colo, wondering if I belong to anyone, anywhere. Speak now or hold your peace forever. You know Uncle Sam is always very good to forward mail, but I have not had a letter from anyone since year before last. I am on the eastern slope of the backbone, but can see it very plainly. Rain with us means snow up there.
Love,
Lucile”

Welcome to my postcard collection! Here's the rundown:

I have a couple thousand cards and am steadily cataloging them here. Above all, it's a hobby. A true love of history, travel, vintage artwork, and the little nuances of life. As an artist and writer, I get so much inspiration from all the people and places you'll find here.

Yes. I really am that nerdy.

I've managed to completely fund my collection by selling off some cards here and there. Some are listed for sale in my Etsy shop , but most are not due to listing fees and, quite simply, time. That said, there's a good chance I'd be willing to sell a lot of these, whether they're officially for sale or not. If you find some you'd like to add to your collection, email me at kaleigh@thingsarelovely.net and I'll get back to you. There are some that I won't part with, but a lot of them don't particularly mean a whole lot to me. I'd rather cards go to someone who specifically wants them, than for me to hold on to them in the name of "collecting", ya know?

My current plan for payment is via Venmo or Etsy.

If you have any other thoughts, comments, questions, suggestions, or words of interest, please feel free to hit me up as well.

I look forward to hearing from you!
