You may remember that I recently published a nostalgic post about the picture postcards that used to be sent from holiday destinations.
If not, here’s a link.
I added my address to the post, so that people could send me one, if they wished to do so.
***Please note***
I know, it is almost unheard of to publish your home address online. I don’t recommend doing that, and I am not suggesting you follow suit, especially if you are a young female, a woman alone, or a vulnerable person of any gender. But I live in a small village, and have a very unusual dog.
I can be found very easily.
I am delighted to report that I received my first card on Saturday morning, kindly sent by Paul S, a fellow blogger. He even used a first-class stamp!
Thanks, Paul!
I have been advised that I might be getting some more, and when I have them all, I will feature them on a post, photographing the front and back of each one.
So if you feel like changing your mind about sending me one by post, (mail only please, no E-cards) the address is on the link. For those of you that like to create your own cards, or use a postcard-creation app with your own photos, why not send me your own portrait selfie, or a scene you have taken a photo of? Don’t forget to add your name (or blog name) so I know who they are from. I leave the message on the card up to you.
Thanks in advance, Pete.
Excuse Me Pete, I had apparently read something. I’m looking for a nice postcard of here.
Then I am very interested if it will arrive at you. Regularly, letters sent from here need over two weeks, or do not arrive at all. Will make a scan before sending. 😉 Michael

As you know, postcards are going extinct in Las Vegas. But I sent you one of the Strip last Thursday, so you should get it sometime in the next week.

What a great idea Pete. I still send a post card or two when I travel overseas. I, like you, enjoy mail in the post instead of a bill.
