Help Me Make a Profit on Wall Street!

 Ok Postcard Traveler fasten your Lazyboy seat belt we are heading to New York Wall Street to straighten everything out. What will you do there to straighten everything out? Maybe just going back in time to when this postcard pic was taken and start over!













Here's your chance! Buy the New York Stock
Exchange Wall Street. Well Sorta.  
If I sell this ..hey! finally a profit! :)
3.5 inches  by about 5.5 inches.
Not new and not used.  The usual "not new"
 condition exists of  back of postcard with
age discoloration that goes with its age.  
 Great for post card collectors, card makers,
crafters and/or scrap bookers.
I am downsizing my thousands of postcards
in my postcard collection  during the coming
months and selling  individually or in lots 
online until they are all gone. 
 Their ages vary. I have a lot of postcards
going up for sale that I originally bought
online labeled 1950's -70's. But I also have 
postcards in the lots that came out of family
houses where the people lived for 50 and 68  years.
 If interested you can buy this card now 
at Downsizer.Webstore.com
for $1.00 + $1.00 shipping/handling = $2.00.

First Family of the 60's!














Wow! Downsizers, does this old unused postcard ever take me back to dramatic times! I remember not liking anything about them at that time because JFK was gone! My hero of change! I didn't like their looks, their Texan voices , their ideas and their actions! But now I can look back and value their public service, their love of and value of the family unit, their devotion and hard work  & involvement in decisions and law activations that have served our country well and I am right now struggling to put this part into words: they didn't act like jerks in public when things were not going their way. Hard times they navigated back then admirably and they didn't talk down others or blame others! 

Grab Your Sweaters Heading North












Downsizers, set your Lazyboy to time travel and we are heading north. Grab your sweater or jacket sounds like it has been cooler there. Again, this is a place I haven't seen YET in person but it looks so pretty! My mother brought back tales and pictures from here in the 1960s. See that vertical crack in the rock? Don't know if it is really there on the rock or if the postcard creators put it there. Interesting in that it does not run in the sky above the rock. Any of you been there? Please add your memories to this blog if so.
So if this looks like a postcard you want to add to your collection check it out in my latest store location:

Bye Bye Old Matt''s Cabin Shepherd of the Hills Branson Missouri! Postcard













Picture this! Cool Fall night. Dark. Moon above you. Sitting and watching people and animals reinact what took place in the book Shepherd of the Hills written by Harold Bell Wright who was inspired to write it in this very cabin which sits near the area of the play. You can go through the cabin that is nearby during tours in the day, enjoy a meal nearby and then get the ride down to the theater. All our trips to Branson include going to this area and seeing the play everytime! We love it! In fact we were there last week and went again!  When you leave Nashville,  turn out the lights and head west to Branson and don't miss this area which is explained nicely here: http://www.branson-ozark-mountain-country.com/ShepherdoftheHills.html     It even links you to the book to read!




This postcard is for sale at our store
