going soon to a post box near me

I'm finally really settled into my place - which means I'm resuming my "old postcard project". These are going out in the mail tomorrow.

They're beauts aren't they?

The moose one is from 1958. The surfing one doesn't have a date.

swingin' in technicolour

I sent these two postcards out to two lovely ladies as thank you cards for...


...this AMAZING vintage dress they surprised me with for my birthday! It is cut like it was made specifically for me and I'm totally excited to find an occasion to wear it! Doesn't it scream spring?

Xmas Post

I'm not all that into sending Xmas cards. Actually, it's not that I'm not into it, I just don't do it - though I'd like to start. There is something nice and old-fashioned about it that I like... but I'm so cheap and lazy...

Anyway, this year I was inspired to send out exactly two Xmas cards and these were them:


Isn't this one with the elves and the baby donkey and the polka-dot mushrooms the very best thing?!?! It was hard to send that one because I really liked and wanted badly to hoard it.

Oh boy. I've been neglecting this project.

I have sent a few postcards out but haven't documented them all...

Now that life is calm again - after all the hullabaloo of holidays and the tyranny of new year's resolutions - I'll try to catch up. I'm still determined to send out all these postcards. I don't know very many people's addresses though so if you want to get some vintage postcard action in your mailbox, send me your address and I will make it happen.

Here's the challenge though, if you want to send me your address privately you have to figure out my real name and look up my website. There is an email address on that website that you can send your address to!

It's not that hard of a challenge really, I'm not very top-secret about my secret identity... but I lay it at your feet anyway.

I sent this "Cliff House" postcard out as a Thank You card to an aunt who let us (me, Husband, and a friend) stay at her own cliff-side cottage on the west coast.
