Item of the Day: Dune Rides at Glen Haven C2798 Michigan RPPC

I love Real Photo Postcards.  These are postcards that are made, as the name indicates, from a photograph.  They have a glossy finish, like a picture.   This RPPC is from Glen Haven, Michigan -- a beautiful beach / shore scene.  It is titled:  Dune Rides at Glen Haven C2798.   The card is printed by EKC, which dates it as 1939 to 1950.   I think it's an especially nice card, and it would look great framed!   You'll find it here:  RPPC from Glen Haven, Michigan

Deer Park Petting Zoo - 1950's to 1960's Michigan

Deer Park Story Book Lane in Michigan - between Muskegon and Whitehall - was an old fashioned petting zoo and small amusement park with a Story Book Lane for children. Story Book Lane had Mother Goose themed tableaus for children to explore.  This Story Book Lane and petting zoo was open 1956 - 1968.   The park then changed over to Michigan's Adventure.   I have some truly fabulous vintage postcards from this long-ago amusement park on eBay.  I love vintage Roadside Americana, and I'm excited about these!   Deer Park postcards at Birdhouse Books
