Greetings from Virginia









Back in late winter, I went to Cracker Barrel to buy postcards to use in my Postcrossing mailings. They no longer sold postcards. :-( Sad Face

Imagine my delight when I found bundles of 5/$1 at a local flea market. I bought all they had....about 7 packets of them. Many of them are duplicates, but I have enjoyed sending them out. I love the retro look of the photo letter ones. How about you? Any great finds lately?

  3. Hello Patricia! Thank you very much for your mail-art postcard! Lovely! Love the idea of using a mail-in-subscription as the base of a postcard. Very beautiful collage. Will write back!

  5. Hi Patty, My good deal was the 10 for $1 art postcards at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, here in Richmond. The sale ended yesterday, so I hurried over there, and got 100 more cards for mail art alterations. I like the picture letter cards, too. Great about your flea market find.
