As a child, I was an avid collector of postcards. I would collect them from everywhere I went; the zoo, museums, holidays, family members and friends who were traveling, vintage postcards I found in the antique shops. I didn’t matter where they came from all I cared about was wanting to see the postage stamps, the imagine on the front of the card and, the small bit of writing on the back. I was transfixed. And I must say that as I grew up, my love for postcards still holds true and I have several albums filled with an array of cards.
Sadly, we live in a digital age where the art of sending postcards have become almost extinct. Many say that it’s easier to send and email or text and I must admit I often do that as well, but for me it seems a bit impersonal. An email or text can be composed, sent, and received in the blink of an eye, but sending a postcard takes time, not that much time mind you, but there is a process involved. First you have to select the card, then you have to compose a little message, write down the address, place a stamp upon it and send it off to it’s destination where the receiver happily awaits its arrival. There is something classical about sending and receiving one.
Not only is it a personalized note a postcard is a piece of art and I hope that you join us in this postcard swap.
