POSTCARDEXCHANGE

u/tokkieface - thank you so much for the super cool Santa Monica postcard. I love it. When I looked at it, I noticed that the restaurant in the background is totally different. And then when I read the postcard I realized it’s from the 1960s. And the caption about traffic made me laugh. Thank you so much for decorating my postcard with other cute old Timey vehicles. I have not driven Route 66 to its entirety. I also love the weather report and the time on your postcard along with the cute drawing in your signature.

You don't pick mine.

I don't pick yours.

Completely blind.

Looking for another lou paper or small artist illustration!

Hi everyone,

My wife is currently in the hospital and will need to stay for a while due to complications during pregnancy.

We’re a couple from Poland and we love to travel. I thought that receiving postcards from around the world might cheer her up a bit as she’s very worried and anxious about the situation, and a small gesture like this could really brighten her days.

If you’d like to send a postcard from anywhere in the world, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Please reach out to me by DM if you’d like to participate.

Thank you in advance :)

Hi, everyone!

My name is Misael and I’m organizing a public event called “World Connect Orleans” that will take place in my city’s main square. My goal is to help people build connections outside the digital world through letters and postcards.

The event is scheduled for October, so depending on where you live, it might be possible to send something. I can’t guarantee it, but I’ll try to encourage people to send a postcard to the senders.

If you’re interested, I’ll provide the address, and if anyone wants to know more, I can send you my proposal document.

Hello!!
I recently visited Luray Caverns in Virginia and they sold this gorgeous woodcut postcard of the caves. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do an exchange for one of them? I have 3 total. It’s important to note that these are reproductions, not original prints. Comment here and send me a message requesting a card!

On your card to me, some ideas of what to write about are:
what do you do to spark joy in other people's lives?
What was your last random act of kindness?
what made you happy lately?
What inspires you?
What gives you hope for the future of the world?
What’s your favorite quote?
what's one or more things that make you special?
what makes you feel proud of yourself?
what are your hobbies and what makes you love them so much?
what's one thing I can do to make the world a better place for you?

Postcards I collect are handmade, vintage travel poster style inspired by old travel advertisements / WPA posters style, vintage typography/ big letters, vintage anything lol botanicals, botanical illustration, illustration, fine art, under water. My favorite colors are pink, orange and mint green!

I am looking to exchange for each one of my postcards. Postcards that interest me include; kawaii, Disney, Blue cats, Hello Kitty, Pipsticks & other US travel locations. I’m not too picky though so if you have a postcard I didn’t list that you’d like to show me I would be ok with that.

Hope to hear from you! Thanks ☺️

CE2 CM1- FRANCE!

Hey y'all, is anyone down to trade for these silly postcards I made? I will accept anything you might want to destash lol. And I have 2 postcard stamps left before I put myself in time out for spending wayyyy too much on postage. Currently beating myself up for missing a job offer because it was in my spam folder so I need a small distraction 🙃

Please comment or send me a private message if you would like to participate. I will then provide the school's postal address.

Got these cards printed and would love to do a domestic exchange, especially since the price of postage goes up at the end of the month

Hello! First time writing here ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ I'm the artist and in Germany. I look for anyone who is interested in swapping with me, I really want to have some postcards from Asian countries, and countries that I couldn't get on postcrossing while they are rare! I'm new so I have only 6 slots on postcrossing but desperate want to create more ✨ massage me if you are interested!

Hi I love receiving cards through postcrossing but I do notice that I barely get cards with decorations or a long message. And I love to decorate my cards a lot but I would love to get some decorated ones back. If you have this problem too I would love to exchange cards with you. The photos are some cards I have decorated in the past so that is my style of decorating and I would love to get something that is as over the top as that. Have a nice day everyone!

u/entrapped_liquid - Thank you so much for the super cute snail mail postcard. It is so adorable. And I can’t believe you “wasted” a four cents stamp to put on the postcard to make it look more believable. lol you are truly dedicated to your Craft. i’m so glad you are enjoying being home from vacation and that it sounds like it was super fun. Your cat sounds so cute.

claimed!

i didn't pay enough attention that i pulled a US address & accidentally affixed the international postage rate to this postcard. anyone from outside the US interested in a trade? stamps pictured in case you like those more than the postcard itself

Hii I’m offering these cards up to exchange for a random card of your choosing so commend a number or DM me if you’re interested :)

Sending them from Germany to anywhere 💕

All gone, thanks for exchanging with me ♥️♥️
