Postcard with Aerial View of New Orleans

This is a cool, vintage postcard from 1939 ~ titled Aeroplane View of New Orleans, LA. I like the perspective of the bends in the Mississippi River winding through the Crescent City. Great aerial view! Click on the image above for a larger version of the postcard.

Vintage New Orleans Postcard of Jackson Square from 1938

The colors on this vintage NOLA postcard of Jackson Square (originally the Place d' Armes) are simply lovely! It is from 1938. Notice that all the buildings ~ St Louis Cathedral, Cabildo, State Historical Museum (Presbytere) & Pontalba Apartments ~ and the Andrew Jackson Monument/Statue are helpfully labelled for you. :) One of the most recognizable scenes from New Orleans and the French Quarter.

Cool Vintage Business Card ~ 1890's

I have a weakness for all things paper related. Ok ~ Ok ~ an addiction! :) This is a lovely vintage business card for H. Fehsenfeld Millinery and Fancy Goods of New Orleans. The shop was located at 209 Canal Street, between Burgandy & Rampart according to the card. Fancy! It is from the 1890's. Most business stationery today is so impersonal & boring. It is refreshing to see such an elegant example from the past. Have you looked at your biz card lately?!??!??! hahaha...

Vintage Postcard of the French Market

All of our family & friends know that we have a weakness for postcards. :) We send a ton of them from every place we visit. It lets people know that we are thinking of them even when we are far away.

We really like vintage postcards too! This one is of the amazing French Market in New Orleans (on Decatur). It is a wonderful place to shop. Many hours of our time have been spent happily browsing there. Instead of buying all of our souvenirs at the stores that line Bourbon Street, we like to get them at the flea market. They are unique & the price is right. ha! You can also find fresh produce, hot sauce, pralines, etc. Most of the vendors are locals just trying to make a living. We encourage you to support them. :)
