Postcard and Trip

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and tons of fun/rest {hopefully both!}. My weekend was fun as I got to touch base with some friends and tried to stay as cool as I could because the weather was really hot during the day.

Today I want to do is thank Nancy from A Rural Journal who sent me this really nice post card from Nebraska - The Cornhusker State! In her blog she posts these amazing images she takes along with the instructions of how to get the same effect she gets in them... great tutorials!

The card is not just beautiful on the front but also she got this amazing stamp of Katherine Hepburn, along with a sticker of a super hero and a heart... very cool in a real fun way!!! Have you celebrated with me yet... EMAIL me to let me know if you want to send me a celebratory postcard.

Finally, I'm leaving on Thursday to LA to celebrate my B-Day... the original plan was going to NY but hotels are over $400 for a Courtyard type of hotel which is ridiculous and makes me really afraid what a luxury hotel might even cost. So, I'm heading again to the West Coast to enjoy of some cooler air and drier weather {humidity doesn't agree with my hair!}and if you are around the city let me know!

Hope you start the week with the right foot and do something that makes you happy today!

    How fun! I have never been to Nebraska but I love that you have blogging friends out there. A country style hotel in NYC sounds so fun- so sad they are so expensive. Yikes! But I'm sure you'll have a blast in LA.

    Happy a very happy birthday and blast at West Coast. I am so excited to visit San Francisco in November.

    I love getting postcards and letters. Those are so precious in this digital age we are currently living in.

    Happy birthday and enjoy your trip! That is an adorable postcard, I visited NE once for work and my trip was short. Katherine is one of my most favorite actresses of all times, loved her in Guess who is coming to dinner!

    That's a lovely postcard and that K.H stamp is so cool. I have some of Audrey Hepburn from Canada that I have tucked away somewhere. I had a really lovely weekend. My husband and I went to a home design show, and then on Saturday we went to the beach for a romantic evening. I love California. Look forward to your photos on your return!

    Have a wonderful trip sweetie!

    Have a fantastic trip to the West Coast, Elie! I SO wish you had told me about your hotel difficulties -- I have a friend on the UES whose apartment you could have used for a fraction of that cost! Maybe next time.

    Your postcard idea is so wonderful. Somehow receiving postcards has become a lost art. Happy to see that you are keeping it alive as well.
