Postcard Friendship Friday...

I bought this postcard on eBay some time ago...
this is the Columbian Building in my town...
the backof the postcard stamped 26 April 1909...
a blow up of the front of the building...
the old stairs were still there until just a couple years ago...
they were taken down for safety reasons...
the old gaslight that used to hang in the intersection of Main and Pike Streets...
the building as it is today...
it is in the process of being restored and is used a community building...
we have many functions in here throughout the year...
the inside has been stripped completely and bathrooms added...
the inside is brick walls, tin ceilings, cast iron poles for support and wood floor...
pin tucking was done on the back wall and side...
it was sand blasted and sealed...
new windows on the side and back...
new heating system and lights...
the building is owned by the city...
saved by donations...
it was to be torn down...
my boys and I crawled every inch of that floor with hammers pulling nails before it could be used...
we cleaned and hauled trash...
and we have enjoyed the use of it now for several years...
and we are a town of about 1000...
it even housed a 2 lane bowling alley upstairs years ago...
the man who used to pin spot still in his teens still lives here in town...
I always look for postcards from our town...
and sometimes...
I get real lucky...
Happy PFF to everyone!

Postcard Friendship Friday...

another week of Easter postcard images...
I love the colors in the Easter postcards...
this one has a great border...
and I love forget me nots...
and it is one of the things I like to collect...
and I love the vintage RPPCs with children....
and then if they have been colored, too...
it's a lot more fun...
roses were very popular in victorian times...
and even though this one has a visable postal mark on the front...
it is still a great image...
the colors and border are what caught my eye...
religious postcards with Christ are not that easy to find...
most of the PCs were of fantasy and fun...
I have many postcards of my own...
but I also collect images of those that I do not have...
I buy occassionally, but there is no way I could ever own all that I would want...
saving the images lets me use them in my crafting and blogging...
I make my own cards with them and just like looking through them from time to time...
and I really love this blog party so I can share what I have...
and see what everyone else has, too!...
for more great postcards...

thanks for hosting the party!
