I’m working like a busy bee through all of the great Mass places I’ve been (and way too many photos I took!) but I wanted to give a quick mention to the nice folks at A Festival Of Postcards, for including Retro Roadmap in their latest edition. There I am alongside “contributors from over 30 bloggers on 3 continents (Asia, Europe & North America)” – cool!
Editor Evelyn Yvonne Theriault saw my postcard of Wildwood NJ (below) and liked it- little did she know I am also a collector of postcards (chromes & linens, diners, amusements, downtowns, you know me…) so this was an extra thrill to be included in the Festival! It has also inspired me to want to scan in my collection, as right now I’ve barely got any online. Anyone have any more hours in the day ;-)?
If you like vintage post cards, or just want to see what all the fuss is about, there are a lot of great links on this Festival- check it out!

Thank you for the shout-out, Mod Betty – and I can’t wait to see your collection!

[...] Mod Betty (aka Beth Lennon) is another newcomer to the Festival – and if you’re a lover of all things retro, you’ll definitely want to stop by her blog Retro Roadmap which features all kinds of mid-twentieth century vintage such as “tiki and Polynesian pop, vintage diners and restaurants, classic cocktails and neon and classic old signs”. Mod Betty specializes in photographs of vintage roadside signs but for the Festival she’s sharing this vintage postcard of vintage postcard of New Jersey. And it looks like Retro Roadmap will be showcasing some more vintage postcards one of these days! [...]
