More Mid-Century Motel Postcards




I've been having lots of fun adding Mid-Century motel postcards to my store.  Many are from the Southeast USA (lots of Florida postcards), but I also have cards from California, New York, and Canada ... with literally 100's more Roadside Americana cards to come in the next few weeks.   These cards remind me so much of long-ago road trips ... they are a lot of fun!   Vintage motel postcards at Birdhouse Books
