On Postcard Collecting

I

've been a collector of postcards on and off. There was a time when I really collected them way back in grade school along with collecting stamps, stickers and stationeries and then my interest changed and then went back to it again a few years ago. At some point in your life, you must have been one too! It's a cheap enough hobby and it's a delight to find really funny or unique postcards! I have them in albums and it's neat to look at, like browsing through photographs.

When a family or friend goes somewhere, I ask them to send me one or when I'm away, I would buy for myself and then send some to people! Sending out a postcard is so easy to do here in America where almost every street corner has a mailbox and the postman actually goes out daily to pick up the mails on the boxes! So postcards, local and international stamps are regular items in my purse. Wherever I am, either stuck waiting at the doctor's office, riding the train or just waiting somewhere, I could pop out a postcard and write to someone! Either that or read a book. :-)

Are you a postcard collector too? Share your great finds with me! I'd be happy to post it and show the world. I would be doing that from time to time, showing some of the postcards I have in my collection. The main purpose of this blog however will be revealed soon! Please do visit again.
