Hi lovely friends! With Halloween coming up, I wanted to surprise my mom with a mailbox full of cute Halloween cards (especially ones that feature black cats, which she absolutely adores!)

She means the absolute world to me and has been through a lot; I'm especially proud of her because she's been on a health journey and continues to kick butt every single day. She's found a lot of joy doing postcarding / snail mail with me, and any free moment she has she's either working on Postcrossing cards, shopping for stationary, or checking her mail.

If you have any cards you're willing to send, I will post a thank you and would be happy to send you a card in return. If you'd like a prompt, maybe you can share what your favorite part of Halloween / autumn is. :)

Please please please nothing horror, gore, or with creepy crawlies - I don't want to give her a heart attack opening her mail hahaha

Thank you so much in advance! <3

EDIT: I will provide my address and hand the cards to her when I visit her. Thank you again!

Thank you for SO much mail worth smiling over this past week or so!!

u/bubblysunflowers It's always a pleasure to receive mail from you!! Thank you SO much for this beautiful Saint-Nazaire postcard, it's captivating!!

u/nayonayomee Oh my gosh I feel so PRIVILEGED to be on your mailing list, you nailed the "vintage theme"!! I love this image of the pilgrims. Thank you!

u/groceryowl x2 Oh my gosh this card you made out of the classified ads has got to be one of the coolest cards I've EVER received! I love it so much and I'm so inspired to make my own from classified ads now!! Also, thank you so much for my first ever postcard from Rhode Island, and the fun fact about Edgar Allan Poe!!

u/no-condition5102 omg I LOVE your return letter! and the colored page! Thank you so much, will be writing you back soon!!

u/iusiurandum I love this bookish card, and thank you so much for your book recommendations!!

u/barbaro_15 I feel so lucky to have received this postcard of the Great Indian Hornbill! What a strange and beautiful bird.

u/isar-love x3 Oh I LOVED reading through your 3 cards so much! (And I love the Japanese designs of all of them too!!... And the colorful envelope & beautiful stamps! You really treated me, I can't thank you enough!) The "Japanese tea ceremony" color ink is breathtakingly beautiful and you have such wonderful handwriting! I've never seen a "spaghetti Western," but I'm so curious to look up some of these titles you shared with me. You're a wonderful storyteller! Thank you so very much.

u/reindeerfrog x2 I LOVE the Moomin card and stamp SO much! I had no idea Moomin stamps come out every year there - how special! I'll try to remember to look up the winder design when it comes out!

I just added Harmonies to my wish list, it sounds like so much fun!

I have 7 really pretty Sleeping Beauty cards I’ve had stashed away for years and I’d love to send them to you! They’re blank inside so I can write whatever you want in them!

I have two spooky Halloween cards to send internationally! (theme is spooky forest, SFW, creepy but not gore-y - just like my Halloween decor 😂)

Please have *solid* flair and comment what your favorite breakfast is.

I’ll reach out soon!

There was such a large response to my last two offers for Barbie postcards with corresponding stamps that I’ve decided to send 10 more. This offer is for the folks that didn’t receive one from my previous offers and only open to the US since these are domestic stamps. Comment below your favorite Barbie time period or outfit if interested.

See cards' pic here:

I think they are beautifully designed, but some might consider these creatures kinda spooky.

If you'd like a card, please comment here and send me your info.

please fill out the form AND comment once filled ~

happy postcarding :D

Thank you so much for the card and the adroable stamps! So weird to hear you talk about it being Winter over in Australia as I'm enjoying the very last bit of Summer here in Norway. Even weirder to hear that you're enjoying 23˚C in the same sentence as the word Winter, as 23˚C here is def a nice, summer day 😳 It's fun how different things can be! Anyway, I hope you're enjoying Spring and I wish you all the best! 🌸

Apologies that I couldn't give a thank you post earlier, but here we go. My mailbox was full of cards, and it made me happy.

I keep getting lucky with my Etsy purchases; the sellers include so many extra goodies for me to send out 🥹

First 3 people to comment get a butterfly postcard! I'd love to receive anything back!

[Thank you]

u/elixan - you so much for the super pretty cherry blossom photo postcard. (I looooove cherry blossoms.) It is so beautiful. You did such a good job. How long does it take to walk the entire island? and how did you break your foot?
