This post is a bit off-topic, but I went to the local car boot sale yesterday and found this gorgeous embroidered post card from a man to his wife.
It's so beautifully made, intricate and so much work has gone into it. It's dated December 13th 1916, obviously from a soldier to his wife.
The writing is hard to read but it says this:
My dear wife,
Just a few lines hoping you are still mine.
With love,
Will.
How lovely is that?! I really hope she was still his!
Although I've never been much of a collector, I'm going to be collecting these vintage love postcards and letters from different eras and I will post them here x
How wonderful and a great idea for a collection. X
