I am not fan of something political but this card is wonderful
Yeah Iâm honestly not a very political person either. But the shape, size (they are probably about 7x11), and just the history of them (political party aside) just makes me love it.
I wouldnât mind a vintage card. And in regards to condition I guess that wouldnât bother me either, adds character plus I figure sending it written and stamped its going to get some travel scars and added imperfections anyways.
Those are kind of amazing! And itâs funny that they decided to mirror the photo for whatever reason. Usually it wouldnât be noticeable, but when theyâre shaking hands âŚ
Ooooh!
I visited a sort of souvenir shop today as I was in the area and it had super cute but super expensive local merchandise. They had postcards which looked gorgeous but I had to ask what the price was⌠4.50 Sing-dollars each! I only looked at the exact conversion now but my approximate one was good enough to tell me to put them down (you can get a meal here for that price!). 2.81 euros or 3.36 US dollars or 2.53 GBP. Madness!
But⌠there was something nearby that looked like a postcard set, all I could see was the card on top - a beautiful pattern - they were wrapped in transparent plastic and the price was 15 SGD. No indication of how many cards I was getting but it looked like a thick bunch so I reckoned at least 10, which seemed convenient. I bought them. Then I counted them outside the shop⌠there were TWENTY! 0.75 SGD per card! Oh who doesnât love a bargain?! They are patterns and flowers in a local style so I will be happily sending them (too lazy to take a picture ahah, maybe later).
(I also bought another definitely overpriced item but my mum would love it so I thought it worthwhile⌠Now I need to send it in the post but will wait until January to avoid the Xmas traffic jams).
You guys made me want to check out the local antique stores I passed countless times but never entered⌠There are actually two on my daily ways! But I never figured they could have postcardsâŚ
I bought some colored pens, a few washi tapes, stickers, and a rubber stamp for US postcrossing IDs. And then of course I needed a box for my received postcards and a pencil case to hold my pens.
I would personally love it especially if it was a vintage advertisement, pinup, photo? I love vintage stuff
yay! happy hunting @Axolotl_!
and thank you for your responses @RalfH, @saintursula, @alikat229 and @Sleep. I guess it shows, that old postcards, just like all other postcards are a matter of taste. Hopefully I can judge peopleâs tastes correctly based on their profiles, favorites and sent cards, so that I wonât send my vintage finds to anyone who would be disappointed.
Today I got these beauties:
with these poignant messages on the backs:
They are by the very talented Molly Brown on Etsy.
I also got a set of colorful vegetable cards from her shop.
I love the little rat rubber stamp! So cute!
Wow they are really nice!
Thanks for sharing this shop, the postcards look really fun!
Whoa I love the cards! Not crazy about the messages on them but the illustrations are lovely, nice find!
Beautiful!!! I hope that somebody you draw my name and just happen to send me one of these! Postcrossing gods are you listening??
This morning I bought these beautiful stamps.
This collectionâs title is âThe Colors of Friendshipâ. Arenât they awesome?
I have acquired a lot of rubber stamps.
Date stamp (bought in Germany):
Number and NL stamps
Variety of priority and airmail stamps (and one economy stamp)
And a lot of rubber stamps
Huh, I received two postcards with stamps from this set. I really love them
Are you a rubber stamp collector?
