I bought a bundle of festive cards from PostSnailPress and some of the new UK Star Trek stanps.
I’m looking forward to sending them - but the chocolate orange card I might have to keep

Hope you make some people happy with them!

Aside from postcards and stamps, I’ve picked up some nice gel and ink pens for writing as well as rubber stamps, washi tape, and stickers!

Aside from postcards and stamps i have an insane amount of different washi tapes. I cannot seem to refrain from buying more whenever theyre cheapand pretty. I think i have around 30-40 different ones at the moment.
Also stickers.
I have dozens.

I’m waiting for a rubber stamp with my name on it to arrive. It should be here later this week.

So this is more like an item I “borrowed” aka stole 
from my husband. He has this light box and I asked him to set it up so that I could FINALLY take photos of my cards for swap and start loading them to my Flickr account.

I thought the stamps at my post office were a bit boring so I placed an order for some special stamps a couple of weeks ago and they just arrived today!
I’m so excited to use them for my outgoing mail! The rabbit ones are really cool because they have a lenticular effect and the rabbit pops in/out of the hat depending on the view angle. Although the packaging feels a bit wasteful… so much plastic!

I bought a set of them on amazon.de for the Christmas insanity called “Postcards for a good cause” that will start on 01 December for all cards with an ID starting with “DE”. (Deutsche Post will donate 0.10 € to the German reading foundation for every card with a DE-ID sent in December and registered before March 2021 thst is why only cards with German ID are effected).
If I draw your address, I’ll send one your way.

I just glanced at that card on the left and thought the lynx was holding a gun 
now I’m both relieved and a bit disappointed that it is not.

Now I am disappointed that it’s not a Gangsta Lynx.

Today spent about an hour at at local second hand/antique store going through postcards. Not the best corona-behavior, I know, but I was wearing a mask and went in the middle of the workday to avoid crowds. AND it got me a whole bunch of unused vintage postcards. here are some of them:
some as recent as the 1980’s (actually the whale tail one is from 1994) and some I think are from the 1920’s, but I’d have to do more research to be sure.
I usually don’t like touristic cards very much, but so many people request them, and I think this will be my way of fulfilling those requests more. For some reason I find older touristic cards much more interesting than the current ones.
What are your opinions of sending/receiving vintage postcards? do you mind if they’re not in perfect mint condition?

They often look outdated without looking historic, so maybe I’d be disappointed if I get one.

My opinion is: they’re postcards. Some are good, some not so good. It can be interesting, sometimes places have changed or the topics are different than what would be printed today.
