I really enjoy following other postcard lovers' blogs.  Missive Maven writes about pen palling and mail art - and she sells awesome postcards in her etsy shop!

The Tuesday Post: Postage Stamps of Postcards

There is something really ironic about a postcard stamp that is an image of a postcard.  I know in other countries they have "maxi cards", but somehow this is different.

Max & Co Post's postcards + inexpensive IKEA frame = instant art!

Ran across this today.    I really wish it was a postcard, I would love to add it to my Bunny postcard collection.

Friday Philosophy - Eat More Cookies!

Just a reminder - it's Girl Scout Cookie season!  Support your local troop - it teaches young girls business skills and builds confidence.  (And P.S., you can't use the excuse that you have allergies/are on a diet/etc. - you can still purchase a box of cookies and have it donated to the charity of your troops choice or to US troops overseas).

Thursday Link Love: Bad Postcards

bad-postcards.tumblr.com cracks me up.  I hope you enjoy a good laugh at some of their postcards too.
