Postcard Friendship Friday

2011: PROJECT 234/365

When I fellow postcrosser and postcard enthusiast asked for a postcard swapped, she gave us a link to her postcards collection over at postcrossing. The vintage look and the lipsticks attracts me the most. Look so fabulous. I so love this.

Lipsticks

Postcard Friendship Friday – Montauban – France

I swapped postcard with Sheila of A Postcard a Day, a fellow postcrosser and blogger. Thank Sheila for this wonderful postcard.

Montauban - France

Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne – France)

A gem of a square in pink brick. Pride of Montauban’s heritage, the whole of the Place Nationale is a listed Historical Monument. Its double gallery surrounds all sides of the square and its pink brick buildings constructed by middle class merchants, have facades that present warm unity.
