Versailles

Today we're sharing more vintage postcards from our European collection. This set features Paris. It's easy to fall in love with them, especially since they bring to mind an Audrey Hepburn movie. How to Steal a Million, anyone?

Don't these postcards make you want to take a European vacation to Austria and Switzerland? We haven't been to Austria or Switzerland, and we wonder if it's as breathtaking and as charming as it looks! A journey through the Alps sounds quite magical this time of year...

If you've been to either country, please share your stories in the comments section! :)

 

Collections: Vintage Postcards from Europe

While unpacking boxes from Joan's house, I discovered two fat paper sacks filled with vintage postcards from Europe. I'm not sure if Joan collected them on a trip to Europe to see my mother, or if my mother collected them while living in Europe. Either way, the colors are incredible and perfect for a Monday morning when the weather is so gloomy that I can't stage a photo shoot without turning on every light in the house! Capri

On the Road: Capri, Italy

Come with us to Capri, Italy. If you feel like you've been here before, you have. We blogged about Capri here, but we feel like such natural beauty deserves multiple posts with lots of breathtaking photos and few words. We can almost feel the sea air on our faces...

If you are in the mood for a real Italian vacation, check out my aunt's sightseeing company that provides tours of the Campania region.
