No Time to Write

FOUND by Anne Pratt in an old book

I found this postcard in an old book at a Texas Public Libraries sale. The postmark date is unreadable, but the photo caption says it’s the “newly-constructed” Tiffany Tower, which was began construction in 1977 according to Wikipedia. It says:

Having a ‘Ball’ Needless to say, no time to write. 3 am. Tell you all about it – Virginia. Well, exchange crying towels.

I’ve always wondered if she was really having a good time or not.

Room 391

FOUND by Franklin W. in the Westwood Library

This is a library check out receipt, for a book called Before I Fall. I love the absolute seeming mundane nature of the note, the impossibly small perfect handwriting, and then the final Room 391. Tiramisu leads to a double date query, which leads to a hot tub session, and then they’re in the room.

Bills and Booz, Ya Know

FOUND by Nichole Smith in Santa Cruz, California

This was found in the Fitzgeralds hotel stuck outside of the neighboring room. We took it down once the times mentioned had passed because it was just too perfect to leave behind and the maids would have removed it anyway. There was some loud pounding that morning; it woke me up in the next room.
