postcards and history

I love to find old postcards and to read what is written. I know It is may be others ' secrets

But I swear it is old papers and the writers might have been dead for a long time and I'm sure they don't mind I share with you.
Few days ago, I found a lot of postcards who were sent to Poterie Ravel.
I Work very close to the potery Ravel , I work with them and I work for them so I already know a part of their story.
This time it was only orders but it is very interesting

Nowadays, nothing will be left from our orders, our fax will be thrown away and the mail will stay in the computers

Love the color of this ink
