Polaris assures me that this old card (circa 1982) does in fact show girls, wearing something called a daffa, which is like an abaya — what’s that? You don’t know what an abaya is either? I’d better let her explain:
No, I still don’t get it either. Suffice it to say that the appearance of the girls depicted on this particular card will have to be left to the imagination. Now wander on over to this week’s Postcard Friendship Friday and imagine some other people and places.

I think I get it, but can’t find anything called a “daffa.”

I still don’t understand…. PFF!

Excellent choice for your blog. Girls can be everywhere. Beautiful drawing and the flipside is as interesting. Happy PFF.

Love the artwork on this postcard. A style usually seen for a Paris or NY scene from the early 1960s. Thanks, and happy PFF!

Is this from Bahrain? I love drawings on both sides, too.

They would have trouble riding that bicycle wearing a daffa. Both sides of this card are rather wonderful.

A daffa is not unlike a chadar, a loose black garment.
But I like the “botany is underrated” comment best!

Glancing at Marie’s site, I could have sworn your title said a view of old Montana! Imagine my surprise.

Very nice card even though we don’t know what a daffa is, I love the girls go postal.
