Another altered Postcard

2020-20

I was gifted with an old postcard album. The album had a label inside that said Stuttgart. No other identification. The postcards were mostly black and white. Nothing was written on them and they were in the album with those little black corner thingies that held them in place. There were from France, England, and Germany. They appeared to be from the 1940s. They were found in a house that some acquaintances purchased a number of years ago, and recently, while clearing things out, decided to pass this album along to me. YAY, lucky me. This is the first card that I've altered.

Here's the story I wrote on the reverse:

Motorists rarely used this route, so the large painting didn't create any traffic problems. However, how it got there remained a mystery. It remained there until weather conditions caused it to disintegrate.

A fun day of altering vintage postcards!

The enormous shell appeared on day. No one knew who put it there or even how it was put there. It was quite an inconvenience. Too heavy to move, it remained there.

When John Oliver popped over the door, several passers-by fainted and one was heard to say- "oh, dear."

They were startled out of their boat when the large painting appeared floating in the calm lake.

It was never discovered who placed the large shell on the monument. It appeared one day. Children loved to listen to the sound of the sea.







The large shell appeared one day and there-after was used as a marker - "go past the house with the shell and turn left at the next corner."

A large painting was installed on the lawn as part of The Landscape Beautification Project. Visitors found it saccharine and unappealing. It remained for years.
