Young Ladies Whist Club

Yesterday I had to pick up a book
at a little antique shop around the corner.
While there, I found the sweetest basket of photos.
Among the photos,
was a lone post card.
Now MY post card.
The image was set on post-card stock paper,
A custom order, for sure.

Bonjour Robin - I just found your beautiful BEAUTIFUL blog on Sam Verrant's page. Funny, I adore Jim Croce and don't remember this song - it made me linger here even longer.
