Are You Ready to Travel? I Am.


Okay, I am officially fed up with winter. Here in the northeast we have been hit with snowfall after snowfall after...well, you get it. I mean, there's no place left to put all the snow. (What comes next when the snow beings to melt? Flooded basements, of course.) And now I hear there's another storm possibility for this coming Tuesday and Wednesday. Enough is enough, I say.

So, in the spirit of flying off to another place and time here are some fabulous vintage travel posters to get your mind off the ridiculousness outside. Yes, I realize that it's winter in some of those places as well, but let's just make-believe, shall we?

Where's Mr. Peabody and the Way-Back machine when you need him?

  1. Pity we can't swap in the blink of an eye - it's another scorcher here today - 42C (that's about 108 in Fahrenheit) and I've had enough of it too - some snow sounds lovely right about now :)

    Great book covers though

  2. It was quick but nice. I couldn't leave my 15 year old dog. Besides it's good I am here the roof has 2 and a half feet of snow. I have to get that off before the next storm. Happy I built on a slab, no basement. Please let's get an early dry Spring.

    Happy Snowy Sunday.

  3. Bernadette: Thanks so much for taking the trip with me! Scorcher sounds pretty good right about now - but then I'd be wishing for some cold air. Ha! There's no happy medium this time of year for either of us. :)

  4. Yvonne: That's the best part of make-believe travel, you don't have to leave your pets behind. I would never leave Rocky either. :)

  5. I like all the vintage travel posters! A friend made a card for me recently with all the vintage US national parks posters on it for me as a keepsake as she knows I love the parks.

    I forgot all about Mr. Peabody! Fun memories, Yvette! :D

  6. Pat: I love them as well. I seem to be stuck on anything vintage. These designs were so colorful and bright and beautifully created by the artists involved. Just gorgeous.

    Yeah, Mr. Peabody. Remember those? Fun!! I hear there's a movie in the works. But the worst thing they can do is give Mr. Peabody the 'Shrek' look - computer animation with, I mean. I love the old clunky hand drawn animation. :)

  8. Martha: Yes, I wish there was an Agatha Christie Land. A theme park filled with all things from her stories. Wouldn't that be great?

    I love vintage posters, too. In general, they are beautifully designed. LOVE all that color.

    We're execting even more snow later on tonight into tomorrow. The fun never ends. HA! :)
