Sara sent this from Scotland and it’s dated 8/29/25. I can’t read the postmark, but let’s assume it’s from early September at the latest.
So this postcard has been hanging out in that Postcard Void that the readers of this blog are all so familiar with.
Sara writes that she enjoyed these pieces and thought I would like it too because it’s all embroidery. They are by Phoebe Anna Traquair and the pieces are (I assume) a collected work called The Progress of a Soul, with each individual piece named the Entrance, the Stress, Despair, and the Victory.
I especially enjoy Despair.
Here’s the stamp.
Sara wrote part of the postcard on a bus to Stirling Castle. Apparently the whole wedding crew were traveling together on a coach and a van. It’s about 75 guests, so a big crowd.
