Happy Postcard Friendship Friday

I have neglected my Friendship Fridays over the last few weeks, so time to reaquaint myself with the great stuff on Marie's site. Marie over at The French Factrice
hosts Postcard Friendship Fridays, she is chalk full of info along with her posts of great post cards. Do visit.

My contribution came from a quick visit to the Antique Fair at Sherway Gardens. It's hard to believe that I worked in that mall for nearly 7 years, and now I don't know where anything is. But, it was o.k. to get lost in the Antiques, I browsed at leisure with friend. As is in my banner at the top this blog was created as a research vesel for my romance novel, I've done little but collect ideas for characters. What does this have to do with this postcard, well... When we were growing up and listening to stories of my mother's youth we were told that she not only had a pony around but actually got a stalion whom she named Zigmund. I don't think this was a typical horse name, but, anyway shortly after her marriage the war broke out and Zigmund was taken to be used by the army, so we don't know if it was a Black Stallion story in the end or something more gallant. Seeing this postcard reminded me of everyone who's little wanting a pony, and from the one very little photo I have of my mom when she was very young this looked like her, so I'm buying a little girl for my scrap book. Enjoy PFF.

That's such a classic image, the girl and her horse. Thanks for sharing it! I was obsessed with Black Beauty when I was a girl. Thanks for visiting my blog, I'm having so much fun with PFF!
