Viva La Valencia

With now only eight days people EIGHT days till I leave for Asia, I needed a weekend to stop me spending anymore money, as frankly this trip is killing my expenses. So waking up to a lovely warm morning with little to do, I thought I would keep myself busy with a good spring clean. I came across these collection of postcards I completely forgot about. I bought them on a trip to Valencia a few years back. We came across a little market of only a few stalls outside a Church. Happy days! Take me  back to the warmth now. They were mainly selling old stamps, but one gentleman was selling these postcards and early portraiture cards. Very quaint little things. I love them! Nice to get them framed one day. They all look turn of the century.

This looked to be hand painted

Would love to be able read this! non comprende.

I do believe this is from 1910...

You're number one!

Growing quite a collection now. I always look for them when I go to markets, a little glimpse of what used to be. There are big collectors out there, who have 1000s of them. I have always been to attracted to old things, I hope that is what I convey in my own work. A simpler, quieter way of life I'm pretty sure would suit me better than 2013 living in a metropolis! The colours are beautiful too, oh I really find them fascinating.

Finally, they also had some of these little flyers for movies with Spanish text. Pretty darn sweet.
