Postcard notes for the socials-2023

 Loving the Postcard life. Thank you in advance for sharing a postcard our way.

*Gratitude is genuine when any postcard arrives.*-most importantly!
For the personal collection that we are growing from the legacy of our parents, we scavenger hunt for vintage scenes of Los Angeles, all southern California, all Idaho & the pacific northwest. Believe it or not, we also do Central Florida around i-4 corridor and throughout Hwy 27, 17, 98, 92. Fun stuff like Vintage motels or entertainment centers.
We also are enjoying building up a new hobby as a family to collect places we've visited or lived personally for Sauntering, or excursions we hope to have soon. These are fun because you don't know what you're going to run into on a traveling adventure. Looking back afterward is sure to bring plenty of ☺ smiles.
Lastly, we also collect "Busy Person's Correspondence" postcards. We've even been thinking how we can resurrect something like these. They are fun indeed. Of course, Murals are another favorite, & we have yet to receive a mural postcard. This should be the next viral postcard trend.... maybe we can get it going.
These are NOT requests. There are wonderful PC's from all over the world in our received collection, with some handmade art. We love each one. It's been challenging to get them all posted on the collection blog, too, but we strive to complete it!
Again, *Gratitude is genuine with each and every postcard arrival.*

Here's why blog posts get batched & fall behind.  Interesting how they sent a card! 
Nice surprise 😲 

Lots of Love

St Patrick's Day is coming up!

January 2023 Postcrossing

    Looks as though, my Postcrossing fizzled some in January.  It was a super busy month.  I know I sent out cards 🎴 but I have no idea 💡 Well let's look? 
    Let's check the wall at Postcrossing on my members page and see what it comes up like. This was a good lesson for me, because times slips by before I realize.🤭 
    Postcards were sent out up through December. I had none sent in January.  I guess I need to step up my participation in the community.  Postcrossing does have a lovely forum for the community. It's a very active forum too. Postcrossers are very dedicated to this hobby & the connections it creates.  
I'm going to see if i'm still eligible to send out a couple more postcards.  Someday I would love to live stream the process or at least 📹 video to document how we are doing things during this decade.  I'm going to have to stock up on some beautiful cards for sending. I'm tired of always posting the Empress Lily… 😂 


Until next time

Loving how the postcard community is growing on Good Reads. Combining the Postcards with a reading topic is such a wonderful blend of pastimes.  I keep getting the same person from the other side of the world 🗺. His postcards have not arrived yet, for 2 months in a row.  Will have to wait & see if the Global Post is going to follow through with delivery of his cards.  In the meantime, this month's topic was the Public Domain titles that were recently released. 
What new old books are you finding to pick up again?

Love

    Somewhere along the line 🤥 A certain Postcard lover mixed up their inbound & outbound piles. Shame on me!  These are really beautiful cards.  Forgive if I actually have posted these before, But I looked through without finding them posted anywhere.  Hope my fellow RAoC will 🙏 forgive.  Here are these from August. Who knows what was going on back then.  😂 

Love
