All about Postcardlady

Hello everyone! I'm excited to see yet another website for sending and receiving postcards from around the world! My name is Dede and I am now enjoying my retirement years. I love to take road trips, visit local art museums and art galleries, go thrifting, antiquing and hit the garage sales. I also enjoy getting together with friends for just a fun day out and about. I have been a collector of cards for over 60 years and am also a dealer in vintage/collectible postcards and have a very extensive collection of vintage cards. As for what I collect in modern cards, my absolute favorite to receive are handmade!! I love when sometime takes time to create a one of a kind card just for me! My favorite handmade cards are collages, watercolors, block print, geli print or any other kind you care to create! I would like any handmade cards to be sent in an envelope to protect from damage. I love to see bright, colorful stamps and interesting postal cancellations on the envelope or card. Other topics I enjoy are: * art cards by local or lesser known artists * Aerial views of U.S. State Capitols * Cards by Leonid Afmerov * Cards by Scandanivian artists such as Inge Look & Elsa Beskow * Inkognito cards from Germany I have been a member of Postcrossing for almost 10 years and Postcardunited since a few months after it started. I look forward to receiving your card and would love to hear all about you! Tell me about a random act of kindness you did recently! I look forward to receiving your card.
