St. Patrick’s Day Souvenir
It took us many years, but we finally (and randomly) ran across our first St. Patrick’s Day postcard. It’s old, embossed, and unused with abrasions around the edges — but not something you’ll find at your local bookseller’s, either. The windmill is in there as a bonus. Grade: 3

Marie-Galante (Air Caraïbes)
Captioned entirely in French, each of the scenes on the front gets its own little description. First, would you like to know about the airline? So did we, and this is what we learned in condensed form from Wikipedia: “Air Caraïbes is based in the French West Indies, with headquarters in Guadeloupe. The airline’s main base is Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport in Guadeloupe, with another base at Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport.” And now about Marie-Galante, a dependency island of Guadeloupe. “Old windmills dot the island, also known as the Big Pancake for its circular shape and flat terrain. Château Murat, on the southern coast, is a 19th-century sugar-cane plantation with a windmill, museum and restored buildings.” There you go. Unused. From the airline. Grade: 1
