vintage postcards and handwritten receipts

what i found and added to my collection today.

from niles in fremont, ca.

this one is my dream summer camp.

cool, the one and only san jose postcard i've wanted to own so far. nowadays, there aren't any interesting ones from my hometown.

i can never have enough bay area related postcards.

this one's for my boyfriend who's obsessed with the beatles.

this one is the mystery spot from santa cruz, california- a place i have yet to visit.

when i find vintage postcards in old shoeboxes and wooden trays in antique stores, this is how i often react immediately inside and outloud simultaneously:  where to start, what to look for, omg, historical landmarks, random doctor portraits, landscapes, buildings, this one's cool, this one's from 1907, vintage, so vintage, i have to get all of this, what do i do, what to do, what do you think, decisions, decisions, thanks, i'm going to buy all of these. 

i'm also a huge sucker for handwritten personal messages on the back of postcards-the kind of love that's transported and received.

i live to dive in the past, explore the forgotten, and recreate in the present.

confetti pancakes

i'm not exactly hungry, but i'd like to look at and eat confetti pancakes at this very late-night-craving-moment-i mean make it alone and eat it alone in the kitchen. the thought of seeing colorful specks in my fluffy, lightly-burnt pancakes seems more than delightful and quite entertaining if you ask me. and if they look good and taste good, then i'll share them.

hello, welcome to my new blog. i figured it may be time to hop back on the train to share some of my short/lengthy stories, buried/exposed feelings, and past/novel thoughts on the go again. blogger/blogspot and i seem to know each other quite well time after time.
