Sorry, No Scratch and Sniff

We all go through spells where we are enamored with something or really interested in a specific subject. But after awhile, we move on and find a new interest or a different hobby. I sometimes wonder if I will feel that way about postcards and then, along comes a kind of card that I've never seen before and I appreciate all the more why this turn of the century No. 1 hobby has held my attention for almost a decade and likely will for several more.
So I know you're busy prepping all the turkey fixings, but I just had to share this with you. I originally thought this was a hand-painted dinner napkin! But as you see here from the backside ....
it is a perfume sachet postcard from Manchester, England! There's still a bit of powder inside it! No, I didn't sniff it to see if there was still an aroma:) Just looking at the pretty pansies is quite enough for me.
But it does look like a painted dinner napkin, doesn't it?!

Have a happy Turkey Day! The hubby has a mince meat-less pie marinating for me -- chopped apples, golden raisins, dried cherries and all those wonderful spices I DO love to stick my nose in: cinnamon, cloves and fresh ground nutmeg. OH, and candied ginger, too. Family is coming and we'll do the pig-out tradition. I hope you have a good holiday, too. I'll drop back in Friday to tell you about a certain gift shop in France ....

I can't believe you didn't sniff it. How could you resist? The letter carriers of the day must have been very amused by these.

I think the temptation to sniff it would have been too much for me. Lovely idea though, and the card is really pretty. Now go sniff, lol, I'd love to know whether there is still a bit of a scent.
