Adam's Farewell 1906 Hand-drawn Postcard rusted croquet I believe

croquet I believe

and I find this combo of cottage with green tile roof and open scissors below strangely satisfying

Sold as a set: 2 thru 8 less the 7 which I imagine disappeared long ago

In their original case and box

it would sit happily on a shelf

Adam's Farewell 1906 Hand-drawn Postcard rusted croquet I believe"Dear Aggie, Donnie thinks shame [?] to write you himself.

I fell in love with the ink and watercolor drawing on the face of this postcard, which I think just perfectly captures the feeling of farewell, including via the perfectly lonely feeling hand written caption
