Okay, so anyone know of something I can do with a shit-ton of vintage postcards? I want to mail them out but I'm not sure to who.

If anyone wants one, just PM me an address.

What's the subject of the postcard? If it's local, a museum or university archive might want them.

Would you make a collage/scrapbook type of thing? My cousin's wife makes these amazing framed multi postcard dealies to hang on the wall.

Contact a preschool or elementary school see if they'd like them for art projects or even an elder day program.

Or, get the names of people on LJ who'd like to get a postcard from you.

Ooo! I'll take a couple (or a few!) I would even be willing to pay postage.

You want them blank or with a message of some kind? How do you feel about holiday postcards?

[bugeyedmonster.livejournal.com]

Blank is good, and either everyday or holiday is fine. I sort of like to collect postcards. I don't have a display thing for them, though. They mostly just sit in a box.

[tigriswolf]

I'll send you all the holiday ones, then; I've found a couple places that'll mail them to cancer patients and inmates, and they don't want anything with religious connotations.

Interested, and sent a PM just now!

[tigriswolf]

Blank or with some sort of message; holiday themed or not?

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Really, I'd be interested in all of them that you haven't already had claimed. More colorful and detailed ones are preferable if you have to choose.

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

I seriously have the room.

[katleept.livejournal.com]

If you still have any, I'll take one or two! :)

[tigriswolf]

PM me your address.

[tigriswolf]

Mailed. :)

[tigriswolf]

Mailed. :)

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And if you have any left over after a while, you know where to send them.

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I especially like that one of them is Dutch since I'm half Dutch. My Mom says my uncle Koos would have liked these cards.

[bugeyedmonster.livejournal.com]

I got them! Thanks so much!

[tigriswolf]

Mailed awhile ago; did they ever arrive?

[katleept.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! I'm so sorry I kept forgetting to message you! I'd think about it when I was away from the computer, and by the time I got back online, it was gone from my brain again! They are ADORABLE!!! I confess: I'd originally asked for them for that friend I have overseas who loves postcards, but I'm SO going to be keeping some of these!! She will, however, love the ones I send her too, and she's a huge fan of Shakespeare as well!

I'd forgotten you live in Louisiana! How close are you to New Orleans? We almost went there this past Halloween, and although we've not been able to go, we still plan to go one day, hopefully within the next year! Drew was actually born there and hasn't been there since she was a kid, and my Grandmother's people are from there.

Again, thank you SO MUCH and SO, SO SORRY for my late reply!!!!

[tigriswolf]

Yay!

I'm about 90 minutes away from New Orleans but I've only been a handful of times in my whole life.

[katleept.livejournal.com]

I've never been to Louisiana. I really want to go, but we were kind of afraid the people we'd planned to go with might strand us, which is part of the reason we ended up not going this year. We aim to try again next year. Maybe we could meet up when we manage to go?? If you're interested, of course. No pressure at all!! But it would be nice to meet a friendly, trustworthy local and even nicer to meet a cyber friend in person. <3

[tigriswolf]

...strand you?

Yeah, sure, we can meet up. I don't know the touristy things to do but I can point you toward some good restaurants locally.
