Ok, maybe that’s a little over the top because it’s not really a mountain, to be honest - it’s just a small mole hill!

This is just a small collection of postcards which I have here with me in Sydney. I have a box full of them as well back home in Malaysia. I’m not too sure how many I have at the moment because I’ve never really counted them yet. I really should do that some day.
I’m not sure what spurned the idea of collecting postcards but I guess one of the reasons is because I love snail mail and the whole idea of getting a letter/card in my real life mailbox is just so exciting! Emails I could do without since more than half of it is spam and 100x fwd mails with previous addresses still added on so you can imagine how long it is and the message is normally just a fwe lines of a picture or two! Very annoying…..
Anyway, I joined a special site called Postcrossing and it is here that I mainly get my postcards from as you swap postcards with people from all over the world. The best part is, the person sending you a postcard is random so you get a surprise everytime.
It’s really fun. I also have a website/blog where I upload picture of all the postcards I’ve since received although I must say that if you’re planning on paying a visit, please note that I haven’t updated it in a VERY VERY long time. Hehehe…too busy with the bub these day but I do have to get busy with it. I miss looking at all my old postcards.
So, if you’re interested to swap postcards with me - send me a message with your address and perhaps I could even sent you one from Malaysia when I go home in 2 weeks time.
Enjoy your weekend!!
Note : I noticed that some of you would like to have a look of some of my postcards - you can do so here. :cheerful:

I love collecting postcards too, but recently I haven’t had much time sending any

Oh…if only you could show us one at a time. I bet there are so many fabulous postcards in your mole hill!! To think of all their history, where they were purchased, by whom, where they traveled and then…..ending up with you. It’s awesome.
My S n T is shared. If you haven’t dropped by, I sure hope you can stop and say “Howdy Do!”.
Happy Weekend to you and yours.

Great collection! I’ve been collecting postcards since I was about 7 years old–mostly from trips I’ve taken or friends & family have taken, but also some vintage ones, too. Recently I took a little time to browse thru one of my boxes and remember all those trips (I always write the date of the trip on the backs). It’s a great economical souvenier when $$ is tight:)

What a fabulous collection you have!
I really love old postcards because they give glimpses into the lives of the people of generations gone by, whose brief messages appear on the back.
Thanks for sharing!

Interesting hobby. I’m wondering if you have a special way of displaying them?

I love postcards, but real old ones.
I have quite a few from my family and
those are so special to me.

We have postcards from when we were stationed in Europe. They are typically so much better than the pictures you take w/ your own postcard. You can pop on over to my S&T at http://anapronaday.blogspot.com
