This is from Heather, who bought it for me because she thought I would like the informational part and I did!  Graceland is at 3764 Elvis Presley Blvd in Memphis.  He bought 13.75 acres in 1957 for $102,500.  Amazing!  That might have been right after he got out of the army?

This is from the lovely Kathleen, whose blog I enjoy so.  

She remembered that I loved the Vanishing Trades stamp and so she sent me a new one in the series.  Apparently the postage went up, so there are more vanishing trades for us.

This is a picture of the Garland Maker.

This is from regular commenter Jan, who bought this when she visited Austin for a wedding.  She tells me it’s her favorite postcard of Austin that she has ever seen.  

Me too!  It was particularly great picking it out of the rest of the mail because I really had to study it to get it in the right direction and the cognitive dissonance while that happened was very fun.

It seems Hafidha wasn’t the only one in Prague this autumn.  I received this card from my dad and his wife.  This is the Dancing House.  Very fun!

Sent by Hafidha, who just did a fabulous tour of Europe with her daughter.  She wondered if I had been here with the youth from church and alas, we went to Hungary and Romania, but not the Czech Republic.

Look how classy this change of address postcard is!  Should I ever have to move again (perish the thought) I will aspire to send out something so eye catching as this.

From regular commenter Jan who visited while her brother was visiting.  She hopes to go back. I can see why.

From my eldest Auntie who was vacationing there.

This one features art from one of my favorite picture books this year.

And more art, although I’m not familiar with Babymouse.

Nor do I know comics squad, although the postcard is kind enough to clue me in to the fact that I shouldn’t drink milk while reading.
