When my mother was a young girl growing up in rural New Brunswick in the 1930/40s, she remembers how excited all the children were when the small berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries) would ripen. She came from a very large family (14 siblings) and the best desserts they ever had were the pies that my grandmother would make with these fruits. Evelyn in Montreal
I'm one of those people who have led a nomadic existence, and so did my parents. My father started collecting postcards as a way to continue this life at least in spirit. I'm continuing the collection and posting at least one, chosen at random, each day.

Those fruits look delectable! I can imagine wonderful fruit pies or bowls of them covered with fresh cream. Yummy!

Postcards from Finland are still my favorite. :)
@rnsane, yes they do look good.
@Evelyn, you're making my mouth water! Homemade fruit pies - there's nothing like them. They must have been large for 14 siblings.
@Max, they're unmistakeable, aren't they?
