A Fun Find!

Saturday, Tristan and I decided to take a quick trip out to the village of Doune. Doune is located just a few miles from Stirling. We'd been out to visit Doune Castle before. (You may recognize Doune Castle from this movie.) But, we'd never been through the town, and we always enjoy looking through the little shops in villages around Scotland. So, we parked and started out in the Kilmadock Information and Heritage Center. We ended up spending most of our time in that place because of these little beauties....


Really Old Postcards!!! Most of them are of places that we've visited in Scotland. This is how we know they are really old...
The dates range from 1904 to 1965 and a couple of them have half-penny stamps on them.
We love finding unique things like this! Our plan is to mount them in frames to put on the wall, but we would like for those frames to be double-sided so that you can see the back of the postcard with out taking it out of the frame. We'll see how that goes... something we'll try for when we move back to the States.

It was fun trying to decipher the writing. Here's our favorite...In case you have a hard time reading it... "Everything okay. Dorothy not dead yet. Still going strong. Weather fair. Colin and Dorothy." The "Dorothy not dead yet" part makes me laugh every time I read it.
