Postcards from Vancouver — want one?

A few readers of this site know about my penchant for snail mail and letter writing. I have penpals, as well as friends who request that we write each other through letters. We enjoy the fading art of handwritten words, crafty things, and art that fit into small package. Instead of dreading to see piles of bills, we look forward to getting each others’ mails. Love it! Even when I travel, the mailing goes on. I make it a point to send post cards — and lots of them!

Yesterday I went to Granville Island (the artsy fartsy district with good food — I’ll talk more about that later) and passed by the Postcard Store there to get a few–what else–post cards! And they’re going out to you!

If you’d like one, let me know in the comments section and I’ll email you back to ask for your address. I’m doing it this way so others will know if they still can join in the fray. :D I’ll send the posties to the first 5 commentors (for now).  Update 4/21: The postcards I have for now are all accounted for.  More later.

Cheers, and enjoy your Sunday!

P.S. And yes, we did have snow, sleet, and rain in some parts of Greater Vancouver. My good luck goes to the runners of the Vancouver Sun Run. No one was expecting winter-like conditions this weekend. Yikes.

    How fun! I’d love one! It’s so much fun to get mail that isn’t a bill, lol.

    I would love to receive one! The most I’ve seen from Canada has been the Falls, but I hope to visit more often when we move to Montana later this year.

    I love that there’s someone else out there still writing letters. I try, but I don’t really have anyone who will still write me back, so I gave up on that.
