We are looking today at a book from 2010, Norman Rockwell A Book of Postcards.

Before we begin, if  you have found yourself today feeling like it is earlier than it is, we can thank Daylight Savings Time.

In addition, this next Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day and there is still time to mail off any letters and/or cards to get the St Patrick’s Pictorial Postmark.

Norman Rockwell A Book of Postcards

First, I’m always looking for more books to collect with letter writing as some aspect of the theme.  I have had a few blog posts over the past three years here that have included Norman Rockwell; getting to see a book like this of some of his work as postcards has me ordering one!  Seeing the size for it as “6.9 x 0.4 x 4.8 inches” means I’m thinking 5 x 7 in size.
There are thirty postcards shown in the book of his illustrations.

“Few artists have captured the essence of the American middle class with the warmth, gentle humor, and charm of illustrator Norman Rockwell (18941978).

As we wrap up, I’m including the link here for details for sending off for the 2018 St Patrick Pictorial Postmark. Here’s to a GREAT week ahead! See you tomorrow as we kick off a new week.
