Years ago, I started a postcard collection. I bought postcards from bookstores and office supplies and loved looking at them. Then I realized I want postcards from other countries, too. I thought about how to get some and luckily found some old ones sent by my father whenever he’s abroad. I’ve also found some sent by my mom’s friends. Others were given to me when they realized I liked postcards.
My Old and New Philippine Postcards
I like looking at postcards esp. those of other countries because I start to imagine what it must be like if I’m there. Later on, I realized postcards aren’t just about beautiful places but can just be about anything. This makes it all the more interesting.
However, I’ve lost most of them (along with my stamp and anime/cartoon card collection) when we were transferring homes. I can only find some of them. I stopped collecting then. But friends who knew I love postcards kept giving me some brought by family members during travels. I can’t help it also if some friends who travel ask me what I want to receive and I’ll just automatically say just a postcard is enough.
Various International Postcards Mostly From Friends
So after finding my remaining postcards and along with the new ones I received and/or bought, I want to start my postcard collection again. I also just now registered in PostCrossing where you send postcards to random people in other countries and you’ll randomly receive postcards from others, too.
I’ll be starting a new blog on this. Once I’ve set it up I’ll post the address here.
If you want to help me with my collection, feel free to send me some postcards. Hehe…
