Postcards...

1PlayfulFemme · 06-25-2011, 04:59 AM

It is incredible to me how much I light up when we bring in the mail and find postcards! It's so nice to get actual mail and not just catalogs, bills, and other such things in the mailbox!

Tommi! I would kill to be that close to the beach!! The ocean is simply magical to me! No wonder artists are drawn there and inspired by the view!! (Loved the rainbow stickers too!)

Thank you!

Ami & Corkey

The ship is gorgeous! It speaks to history and is a beautiful reminder of days past..thank you!!

Pinkie Lee! That hammock is the PERFECT place. I have decided I want to move there. Not to the area..to that hammock!

Thank you so much for the card!

I can't tell you all how hard it was to find postcards in this lil tiny town we call home (actually, I couldn't...had to go to the next lil town). Apparently around here, the only place to buy cards are at attractions. Lucky for me we have a few in the area! The ones I sent you all yesterday are from Natural Tunnel State Park. They aren't all the same, so I tried to pick ones that felt like they would fit the person by as much as I know of you!

Natural Tunnel is named so for the tunnel that nature made that has been used as part of the railroad for eons. The park itself has cabins, campsites, caverns, cliffs, and wilderness trails. The Clinch River runs through it. It's nature at it's finest and full of beauty and life!

I enjoyed finding them and sending them so much, I am bound to send more from our area..probably during times when we aren't going out of town this summer and beyond!

Happy Saturday Postcarders!!!

I'm antsy to send out cards to the 2nd half of the list! It will have to wait until Thursday of Friday, I'm afraid! I'm out of stamps AND cards! lol

I've decided that my cards will come to You from AZ, CA, UT and maybe CO.....I'm not going to be in NM or NV long enough but to take a couple of breaths....so unless someone has this deep desire to get postcards from those 2 states, (PM me) then that's how it stands!

I'm seeing that my trip budget is mostly for cards and stamps!

I can't WAIT! What a great idea this is!

Hello postcard peeps!

We got back from vacation late last night and were greeted by 7 postcards in our mailbox!

Thank you to Pinkie Lee...and yes, I want to be in that hammock too....and to wimsicle....love the lake "beaches", we did those in upstate NY as well....ami and Corkey's beautiful ship...Tomm's beautiful sunsets on the beach (love that!)...a little history from T & Sunshyne

...and the two of you who got Scoote oh so well...Nina and Diva

Diva, you cracked me up!

We did two rounds of postcards from the Bahamas....hopefully they'll all arrive safe and sound (although no doubt a bit slowly). I'm just loving getting the cards and notes!

Hello fellow postcarders....it was awesome to come home to so many postcards!.. Diva couldnt have done a better job had she drawn the scene herself

I loved all the ones we got--beautiful California sunsets,great lake beaches,history,hammocks,and a flagship! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to send them out

We kida went nutso on the postcards from the Bahamas...so everyone will be getting 2-except June(but she has something else)

I went out for postcards. I did not find any. Two stores later, too!

I'll be heading South in a couple of days and know where I can pick up some cards to send out to everyone.

Sorry to drag my feet. Work's been challenging lately and the last thing I've wanted to do was go postcard hunting after a long, hot day.

SO....I'll have all of mine out by the end of the week.

Truck stops are good places to find things like that or gift shops in museums. I have seen them at Wal Greens, too. I have a pretty good collection of postcards around here somewhere, I may just use those. I don't know how I feel about cards touting the "attractions" of Iowa- corn and pigs.

I have received cards from Diva, Tommi, amiyesiam & Corkey and Morningstar55.
