Since we’re nearing the end of February, the month of romance, I thought I’d end it on a bit of a nostalgic note. Some of us kept diaries. I did when I was younger. I put my secrets in it. Talked about things I didn’t want to share with another soul.
Today’s puzzle image is a lovely, sepia-toned photo with hints of travel and love. I could have collected these things. How about you?
For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle, then tell me a story about what you see. Whose memories are encapsulated here? What happened to the lovers? Have fun with it!

Beautiful post cards, I use to have a diary as a preteen but never kept up with it

This reminds me of the board in Sabrina. All those memories in Paris, then she came home and got together with the guy next to the garage. Lovely story.

What a sweet theme! I can envision this being a keepsake that their grandchildren find in the attic, and have a chance to see their grandparents in a different light.
I used to keep a journal for years, but haven’t for a couple decades now. Nothing so lovely or organized, for sure.

Keepsakes from many who have visited Paris in the past while in love. Hopefully they all git their own HEA.

They met in Paris, she was traveling with her family, he was there to refine his art. The fell in love and continued to write each other, unfortunately the love affair only continued on through their dreams, letters and postcards, as they never saw each other again. Young star crossed lovers never forgotten nor reunited. She ended up in a marriage arranged for the family’s business and he never married but poured everything into his art becoming a renowned artist, highly successful yet nevertheless tortured by the love he lost so many years ago.

This reminds me of a pen pal I had. I kept correspondence from him until I was married. I did get a chance to meet him but lost track of him and his relative who was a good friend. The correspondence in the puzzle is thru postcards vs letters but was saved by one of the people envolved.
