I have always longed to fly with the birds above the clouds in a hot air balloon (and then bungee jump off the side.) Recently I've purchased a few postcards to use as backdrops for my new for Makers Faire '09, steampunk hot air balloon necklaces. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26635335  Printed in Germany, mailed from Stamford, England to New England in 1911.
