swap-bot quotecard

Karla from Georgia sent me a quilt postcard!!! This is definitely one of my favorites!

I told her I'd send her a photo of my first amigurumi since she encouraged me to try it :)

Her quote was a "Star Quote" cut out from a magazine:

"Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don't text a guy back for a half-hour, he'll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love." - Taylor Swift

A Joyful Easter sent to Miss Mary White in Lushton, Nebraska
(I had to look it up. There might be 10 houses. Seriously, look:)



"From your cousins Isabelle, Sarah, Sam (?), and Margaret"
Postmarked April 1911 in Peru Nebraska.

On an aside, My paternal great-grandmother's maiden name was White, and she was from Peru. Wouldn't it be neat if I were related to whomever wrote this card? Gives me the chills.
