the postcard project...

I have been a postcard collector since elementary school.
I had grandiose plans of walls completely filled with postcards back then.
Anywhere I went, I bought postcards. 
Anyone I knew sent me postcards because they knew I loved them so much.
Today, I have boxes full them.
It's kind of ridiculous.





I wish I was kidding :)
Every time I go through an antique mall, or a garage sale and see a box of postcards with a 5$ tag on it, it makes me sad.
One day, my collection will be a box at my kids garage sale for 5$.
Yikes.
So, what is the point of a collection if it doesn't bring joy right?
Sooooo....I have a million postcards, and I am dying to send YOU one!!
I have vintage postcards, postcards from all over the world, artist postcards, and a lot of good ole postcards from the USA.
If you are interested in having a random postcard full of love and well wishes sent to you, leave me a comment with your email address and I will contact you!!
I already have so many great ones I can't wait to send :)
Leave me a comment, have a free postcard sent your way!!
loooove it
and Looooove you!

  51. I randomly send my friends postcards all the time! I started it in college because I got so happy when I got mail that I wanted to give it to others. Now there are a few of us who randomly send them all year round. :)

    What a fantastic collection and idea you've had!

  55. i have some sort of collection too, except it probably is 0.1% of yours (: my fave part of postcards are the short little notes that people write in them, it's so cute!
    it would be nice if i could have a postcard from you to add to my collection !

  56. Oooh, me me me! I love postcard collecting, although i have slowed down now. I used to get the freebie ones at our uni to decorate my dorm room to make it feel homely. Now I buy them when I'm on holiday and jot on the back of them about the trip!

    You could even do a postcard swap and get new postcards from around the world! Just a suggestion! xx

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you :)

  70. I love postcards as well. My grandparents traveled a lot within the States when I was young and always sent me a postcard from the different spots they went to. I kept all of mine (which doesn't compare to the number you have) and I love them.

    I would be delighted to receive a postcard from your glorious collection. My email address is sgivans@cox.net

  72. I also collect postcards but I usually like to send them making some kind of trade. Something written in a postcard it's more special for me :) And the stamps! Oh gosh I'm so addicted to stamp collecting =) Anyway I've a postcard pal (like penpal but only for postcards) and you should definately try it some time. It's really fun!
