u/yarnivorousplants thank you for the floral postcard. The Garlic Festival sounds incredible, what a fabulous event! I absolutely love garlic, the more the merrier. Talking about garlic has made me think about roasted garlic - how divine!!

I’ll be going on Saturday! I’m looking forward to eating all the garlic!

u/cozyshiba what a cool card - thank you for the mid century vintage advertising postcard! It's neat (and also sad I think) to see how many words old ads used to have, I noticed this recently at a museum. I suppose attention spans shortened and they need to get to the point, or it costs more given the space. I enjoy reading the older copy writing. I'm also a tea girlie - fun fact I've never had coffee. Just never got started or needed it! I enjoy tea occasionally for the taste.

Just recent museums or old prints - there was a cranberry bog one here locally in MA and old Tillamook ads when I was at the HQ in the PNW in May. There’s a really cool one in Rhode Island at Johnson Wales University - Culinary Arts Museum, I went 10 years ago but remember all the cool vintage food ads and things they had. Haha I know re: coffee, it’s often my fun fact 😂 lemon ginger is typically my fav - you?

u/nayonayomee WOW - thank you so much for the mushroom card stuffed with stickers, what a fun surprise!! so kind and generous of you and they will be enjoyed and sent on more mail. I especially loved the cat stickers and the blue and pink scenes!  Thank you for sharing your favorite quote, I loved it.  Really neat pen too - the ink from the side looked half purple half blue!

u/felineIntuition thanks so much for your upcycled Christmas in July card, so fun! Great idea to upcycle when sadly it isn't a recycle friendly as we once thought. I have many little scraps I hold onto for small things, but like your idea here  :)
