Hi Kay Thank you. I'm afraid the link you sent me will not connect. I couldn't get it from my google search either even though it came up. Sue has kindly offered to send me a scan of her postcard when she can access a scanner, which is great. However I'd love to see the miniatures too - it seems they would be interesting!
