A Festival of Postcards (3rd Ed.) SIGNS – Call for Submissions


A Festival of Postcards Logo http://acanadianfamily.com

The first two issues of A Festival of Postcards (Wheels and Main Street) brought together dozens of bloggers from all over the world and I’m really looking forward to seeing what we all come up with for the 3rd edition of our Festival!

Our theme for the July Festival is – SIGNS - and as usual, it can be interpreted as strictly or as loosely as you wish!  For instance you could share a postcard with a sign that appears on a building or beside the road, but you could also share “signs” that stand as symbols for something else. In the Western world common symbols include: the cross (Christianity), red and white striped poles (barbershops), and the bowl and serpent (pharmacies).

    • Hi Marie – yes they are. Until now I’ve been collecting mainly Canadian cards although soon I will be begin building my collection of French cards of areas that Canadian pioneers came from.

  6. Evelyn,

    Thanks for the comment. You are welcome to link as you wish. I take it you don’t need any info about the card. I’m on deadline just now but hope to check out your fab site later this summer.

    Best,
    Jacqueline
