A friend and I once co-wrote an entire book via postcards— the weirder the picture the better. It took like 2500 cards.
But what I like best about this idea is that a different friend recently convinced me that I should really be sending out thank you cards (and I really do like the practice much to my surprise). But now I'm wondering if instead of sending heartfelt thank yous on stupidly expensive letter press cards from Etsy… Maybe I should send them on bizarre antique postcards? Cheaper cards, cheaper stamps and way more fun to receive. Maybe not as classy as letterpress cards, but way more punk rock. Thanks for the idea.
Whoa a whole book!! that's such a cool idea! And yes, I bet people would love to receive a bizarre antique postcard from you! I mean elegance has its place, but also so does fear and incredulity hehehehe
I LOVE this. So much better than credit card offers and medical mail. That’s why I like picking up postcards at places like museums, too — you get a cute little reminder of your trip! (Although, in my heart of hearts, I am a magnet fiend, but those don’t post as well.)
ooh museum postcards are so good! and so hyper-specific. I always want to frame them and then I think "is this something someone decorating their dorm would do" and then i chicken out. LOVE a strange magnet; hope your fridge is loaded with them!

We definitely have a similar sense of humor and delight.
I am delighted to hear it!! Who would NOT enjoy getting a frightening postcard from 1937, is what I wanna know! <3

People are standing by, ready to be gently alarmed by your missives!! <3
