Monday's Postcard 2016: Sting



One of my favorites! That middle card was on my bulletin board during college. "Brand New Day" was sent to me by a friend. These types of postcards could be found at record stores.

Monday's Postcard 2016: Crowns


These postcards are of crowns obviously and I think these are in the collection at the Louvre in Paris. The postcards were sent to me by a friend who lives in Illinois. With messages on the back about how their summer was going! I know my friend has not visited the Louvre and I know they have not been to Paris, so I don't know where they got the postcards, but they are pretty random and could have come from a museum gift shop or a bookstore.

Monday's Postcard 2016: Trees


So this year, I set out a challenge to all those folks who say.....it is easy for you to send postcards, Amanda, you travel everywhere. Well, I just have to say that you don't have to travel to send postcards. There are lots of postcards available everywhere that don't have anything to do with a specific place. And to prove it, this year, all the postcards from my collection that I am going to post are generic. They come from bookstores and card shops. They are pieces of artwork and photos of interesting things. They are cartoons and recipes. Cute animals and pretty flowers. And many of them were sent to me by family and friends! These particular postcards, I purchased in Sweden because I loved the artwork.
