Pikes Peak, Colorado

Pikes Peak, Colo. Altitude, 14,110 Feet

PRINTED ON BACK: “Although there are many loftier mountain peaks in Colorado, Pikes Peak is the eminence which is first thought of in connection with the Colorado Rockies. Situated in the first eastern range, it can be seen one hundred miles away, and its white top has been a land-mark ever since its discoverer, after whom it is named, despairingly said that its top would probably never be trodden by man.”

Mailed on July 14, 1947. Badly stained and the edges are in rough shape.

HANDWRITTEN: “Grandma
I hope your trip is as good as mine. I am at Pikes Peak now but will go home next.
James”

Product Description

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!
