I couldn't think of anything to write about so I decided to write about another postcard and this one is from Brazil. I haven't received that many cards from Brazil, so it's always nice to get one in the mail. The message on the...

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8765) • United States 22 Sep 21

I recently watched a video about Ned Kelly, and realized I had received a postcard with his name on it a few years ago (which is the image of this post). Apparently, he tried to create a bullet proof vest from a wood stove, but...

Postcard from Grover, NC

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8765) • United States 30 Jun 21

This postcard looks as if it should come from London, but it's from the US. It's not an old postcard, but it's made to look like one. I know this because I've seen it for sale on Amazon. The sweet lady that sent it wrote "may all...

Postcard from Kampung Simpah, Malaysia

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8765) • United States 17 Feb 20

I love pictures of doors, because every time you enter through one, a new and different world appears (even if it's just the bathroom). Postcards with doors are very desirable by me. This postcard traveled from Kampung Simpah,...

I thought those who like postcards would enjoy these. A few Christmas Greetings from the 1900's. I loved the artwork, especially the snowy town scene! Personally, I like the vintage looking Christmas greetings the best. Which...

Postcard From A Death Camp

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 16 Jul 19

This is a genuine Dachau Concentration camp postcard. It wasn't sent to me. I just bought it for its unusual subject matter and it is not one I would post out to anyone. While everyone should be educated in the horrors of the...

Do you still write letters (or postcards)?

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 26 Feb 19

For many, many years the habit of writing letters dominated the world (basically because it was the easiest and most popular way of communicating). But with the advancement of technology, this habit has gone out of...

Something Pretty in the Mail

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 26 Oct 17

Those are the words used by Jeanne as I read the message on the back of this beautiful postcard, which I received yesterday. It seems to have been a while since I got "something pretty" in the mail, and true to her words, this is...

This is recycled from a Bubblews post where I wrote several discussions about the benefits of living in a small country town. We had a Progress Association in our isolated town in south-east Western Australia and decided we wanted...

Belle Starr (Iz) @BelleStarr (61463) • United States 28 Jun 17

Last year, some members of Mylot took part in a postcard swap. We exchanged addresses and then sent each other a postcard from our city, state or country. It was an amazing amount of fun and even lead to some Christmas card...

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 12 Jun 17

Last week when I felt sorry for myself over the fact that the postcard frenzy has suddenly dried up, I was given some good advice from @MALUSE to head back to my stash of postcards from an era before me . . . I found this...

Not a Postcard in Sight

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 6 Jun 17

Its been ages since I've gotten some "greetings" in the post, I am feeling a little abandonment at the moment - Where are all the postcard ? I might also be to blame as I only sent 10 when I was in Morgans Bay and to date only...

Making Postcards

Jeanne Marie @Jeanniemaries (8237) • United States 9 Apr 17

I recently have been making my own postcards. Sometimes on Postcrossing people will request a homemade one. That is exciting for me because I can create a postcard for them. I do all kinds. Some are painted, some are etegami...

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 24 Mar 17

Most certainly not me - I love cleaning, probably too much . . . I love cooking, probably too much . . . . and I always care . . . probably too much! Postcrossing delivered this very NEW AGE postcard yesterday all the way from...

Do you still buy or send postcards?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 19 Mar 17

Those habits are getting more and more forgotten, but I still usually buy postcards if it's something very important to me. For example: I was meeting a new place and I already had to buy a postcard (which...

From Cyprus with Love

Inlemay @Inlemay (17712) • South Africa 15 Mar 17

The postcard from Cyprus has eventually arrived and even though Barry finds this to be of a conventional rectangular size, to me any old conventional postcard of Cyprus will do - I love the flavours of the Mediterranean! For...
