This vintage postcard promotes Vero Beach, Florida as a small seaside city on the state’s central Atlantic Coast. The left side features a simple illustrated map showing Vero Beach’s location relative to major Florida cities, emphasizing its position along the Indian River region—famous for its citrus groves. The right side shows a black-and-white photograph of an early beach scene, with rows of 1930s–1940s automobiles parked along the shoreline and beachgoers enjoying the surf. The card highlights the community’s appeal as an affordable alternative to larger Florida resorts while offering natural coastal scenery and access to the area’s renowned grapefruit and orange production.

This vintage postcard shows the municipal beach and boardwalk at Vero Beach, Florida, likely mid-20th century. The wooden boardwalk runs parallel to the shoreline, lined with painted benches and a low railing. People stroll along the walkway while others relax on the sand under striped umbrellas or sunbathe closer to the water. Swimmers are visible in the gentle surf, and the wide turquoise horizon emphasizes the Atlantic Coast setting. The scene captures a classic Florida beachfront—clean sand, bright sun, and a leisurely atmosphere typical of postwar seaside tourism.

This vintage linen-style postcard shows the Rose Garden Tea Room & Grill on U.S. Highway 1 at the north edge of Vero Beach, Florida. The single-story building features a steeply pitched roof, wood siding, a prominent brick chimney, and a glazed entry vestibule. Flower beds—likely roses—border the façade and a palm tree marks the right-hand lawn, reinforcing the Florida setting. A painted hanging sign above the entrance reads “Rose Garden Tea Room & Grill.” A period automobile is partially visible at left, helping date the image to the mid-20th century. The composition emphasizes roadside hospitality and gardened landscaping typical of small coastal eateries promoted to motorists on historic U.S. highways.

This color postcard shows a coastal scene at Vero Beach, Florida, likely from the late 1960s or early 1970s. A tall white wooden lifeguard tower stands prominently in the foreground, featuring cross-braced legs, a small enclosed lookout cabin, and a shingled hip roof. A green flag is raised on a short pole attached to the tower, indicating favorable swimming conditions. To the left, several palapa-style thatched beach shelters line the shoreline, with visitors relaxing beneath them. Farther down the beach, people walk and play near the surf. The Atlantic Ocean appears calm with low waves, set against a bright turquoise horizon and a cloudless sky. Coastal vegetation, including sea oats and low shrubs, frames the lower portion of the image. The caption reads “Vero Beach, Florida.”

#Aviation #Airplanes #Texas #Lockheedlodestar #postcards #Borger

Black-and-white postcard labeled “Airport, Borger, Texas.” The image shows a wide concrete apron in the foreground. On the left, a small twin-engine propeller aircraft is parked facing away from the camera, with its left wing extending toward the center of the image. In the middle distance stands a low airport terminal building with a flat roof and large windows. Behind it is a larger arched hangar with a curved roof. A chain-link fence runs parallel to the terminal along the edge of the apron. The background shows open sky with scattered clouds. No people are visible.

Found two #postcards of a tunnel. Placed like this, I think they resemble an astronomical print by Étienne Trouvelot.

Two lithographed postcards of a lit tunnel, placed so as to make a spiral pattern of the images.

1941 Pennsylvania Central Airlines Air Hostess Postcard
.
#VintagePostcard #PCA #PennsylvaniaCentralAirlines #cabincrew #AviationHistory #GoldenAgeOfFlight #1940sStyle #RetroAviation #AirlineUniforms #TravelEphemera #avgeek #AviationMemorabilia #WomenInAviation #postcards #Travel

This early-1940s Pennsylvania-Central Airlines postcard captures the polished, idealized image of the American “air hostess” at the dawn of commercial aviation’s first glamour age. The photograph, rendered in soft black-and-white against a bold blue background, presents a young woman in the airline’s uniform cap, complete with the PCA winged insignia—a small but proud emblem of a rapidly expanding industry. Her expression is warm and inviting, the kind of carefully cultivated friendliness airlines of the period highlighted to reassure first-time passengers and promote air travel as both modern and refined.

The caption beneath—declaring her among the “loveliest” hostesses in America—reflects the era’s highly gendered marketing strategies, when airlines routinely emphasized beauty, charm, and poise as central components of professional identity. More than just a portrait, the postcard stands as a piece of aviation advertising history: a reminder of how early airlines blended hospitality, glamour, and aspirational imagery to make flying feel both safe and sophisticated at a time when commercial aviation was still new to much of the public.

1935 Greeting from Albuquerque, Postcard
.
#Postcards #Albuquerque #NewMexico #VintagePostcard #SouthwestStyle #RetroTravel #OldTownABQ #VintageDesign #HistoricAlbuquerque #Ephemera #AerialView #SouthwestHistory #Route66Era #AmericanWest #Vintage #Retro

This bright vintage postcard features a bold, eye-catching design welcoming visitors with “Greetings from Albuquerque, New Mexico.” A vivid lime-green border frames a sepia-tinted aerial photograph of the growing city, showing gridded streets stretching toward distant mountains softened by haze. The name Albuquerque dominates the card in sweeping pink script with a dramatic shadow, while “New Mexico” appears in sharp, modern block lettering beside it. Southwestern motifs—arrows and a Zia-inspired sun symbol—accent the border, grounding the postcard in regional identity.

At the lower right, an illustrated scroll provides historical context, noting that the Old Town Plaza was the site of 1706 ceremonies founding the Villa of Albuquerque, named for the Spanish viceroy and Duke of Alburquerque. The bottom caption reinforces this connection, referencing the commemorative marker in Old Town Plaza. Overall, the postcard blends mid-century graphic flair with local heritage, celebrating Albuquerque’s history and its emergence as a modern Western city.

.
#Postcards #Travel #Florida #BeachPostcard #PalmTrees #CoastalScene #BeachDay #SandyShore #OceanView #TropicalVibes #VintagePostcard #SeasideRelaxation #BeachLife #TravelFlorida #CoastalLandscape #SunAndSea #scenicbeach

The image is a color postcard depicting a Florida beach with tall palm trees blowing strongly to the right in coastal wind. The foreground shows bright, sunlit sand with long, dark shadows from the palms. Three people in swimwear walk from left to right along the beach. Behind them, additional beachgoers are sitting on towels, lying in the sun, or standing near the shoreline. To the right, a group is gathered at a wooden picnic table surrounded by coolers and beach items. The ocean is calm with a flat, light-blue horizon. The sky is mostly blue with scattered clouds. The word “Florida” appears in white script in the upper right corner.

The Painter Goblin: Becoming Corporeal

by @beet_keeper

When you move country you have to be prepared to change quite a lot about your life. Back at the end of 2020, apart from literally everything else going on my partner and I also moved from Canada to Germany.

For me, this was my fifth or so international move (including shorter temporary stays) in as many years.

Being able to pick up sticks and move like that means living a drastically minimized life. Most of the things you have fit in a suitcase. Most of the things you have are small, and largely not overly whimsical. Sure, you can fit a few treasures into your bag, but you learn to value small ones, not things you might otherwise use to decorate an entire apartment!!

So, what do you do when you do have an apartment to decorate?

You ask the best known painter in your family to conjure some magic, The Painter Goblin!
