vintage postcards
I am:
| bedeviled, beset, bewitched, captivated, dogged, dominated, engrossed, fixated, gripped, held, hooked, infatuated, overpowered, plagued, possessed, preoccupied...... by Napoleon and vintage postcards! So.... I'm off to Napoleon, Ohio. I just want to say that I've been there! The largest Campbell's Soup plant is in this bustling town too! Maybe I can rustle up a bowl of Sirloin Burger Chunky Soup. I can already taste the hearty meaty broth:) Welll... I'm really just sick in bed with the book, The Road to St. Helena - Napoleon after Waterloo! PS. The video is one of the first Campbell soup commercials. |

Awesome Napoleon postcard! And so funny to see the Campbell's soup ad, as I went to an Andy Warhol exhibit today.

Interesting and quirky as always and the video brought back those black and white awful commercials I had to sit through when they didn't have remotes.:)
Thanks for the nostalgia. I always loved the alphabet soup as a child.:)

Hello marie !
I'am back from an exhibition in Le Mans.
Sure, this week I will post about mailboxes with another surprise.
I love Campbell's chicken rice soup...I grew up on it, but like Starman, I tasted other soups...and now make my own.
So you're crazy about the name itself ! If I pronounce Napoleaone Buonaparte, it works the same , I guess : )
Take care of yourself, Marie. Get better soon.
Napoleon was everywhere, almost! Did'nt know he was also in Ohio! :-)
Marie --
I love BIG letter postcards -- so kitschy.
Napoloeon Ohio is only a couple of hours away from where I live. And I have a Napoleon Road in my little country town oh Harrod.
Your little man was very popular with the ohio settlers!

Just found this online and here's a virtual "welcome to our community!" from Napoleon's Chamber of Commerce Director. Hope you had a good time :-). I thought you'd like to know we have a pretty extensive group of old postcards from our town. They're great - like our soup! Let me know if you'd be interested in having some.
