Ontario and Pennsylvania share a border (albeit in the middle of a large lake), but it took almost seven weeks for a postcard to get from Windsor ON to Harrisburg PA.

 

Anyway, nice handwriting, Mike!

Seven weeks, Fred? Perhaps postal workers from both sides of the border took the postcard around the office for a show and tell moment. 😊

Anyone for the following postcards? I have lots, especially the older vintage size.

 

railways and trams: steam diesel electric

vintage linen postcards of western North Carolina and Blue Ridge Parkway

vintage postcards of US states and Canada provinces, western Europe, Japan

modern and old China

Pennsylvania, especially city of Reading and Berks County, from the 1970s (many!)

vintage and modern postcards of Amish

vintage photo cards of people and homes (my favorite)

vintage early 20th-century Holland

vintage and modern cards of art and architecture

vintage hotels and motels

and there are others, to be sure

Dvalliere,

Guess what!? I'd also love a postcard from Titletown. As I said in a previous thread, I'll post my address in due course.

 

Many thanks

I am in the Hampton Roads Virginia USA area and regularly travel to Upstate Ny area. I would love to swap postcards with anyone and everyone.

Received my postcard from dvalliere. Much appreciated especially from Green Bay, Go Pack.

 

Also received two from FredRydr (that makes me special right?). Very cool vintage one from Lebanon Pa and one of the Pagoda in Reading Pa. Ive been to Reading but never the Pagoda, which Ill have to check out next time Im up that way.

They'll continue to arrive. Postcards are like that. :-)

I would like to join as well. I live in Germany and I love making cards. So, if there are people who do not mind receiving a home made card...let me know.

I have never done the pc swap here but I have done the penpal route and have made some great penpal some going on 10 years. But I would love to exchange pc with people. I messaged a few people 1 went back probably too many months. So if anyone is interested lmk I decided not to pester people.

Email me for an updated list of ink for trade or if you want to exchange letters

I'm in!

I'm from Albenga - Italy , and I'll love to write and receive postcards from and to anywhere, with a little preference for EU, since postage in Italy is quite an issue.

 

Thanks!

For those of us too lazy to read through 143 pages, how does the exchange work?

Simply post that you want to exchange postcards; say a litlle about where you are from and perhaps the subject of the cards you will send, and ask interested members to message you. Easy.

While my poor pen pals have to be patient people (some of them have indeed given up on me), I am generally not too bad with postcards. Perhaps it's the clearly limited space. I always try to use the most interesting stamps I have handy. I cannot guarantee specific types of pictures, as I usually keep a large box of postcards from which I select more or less at random. If you'd like me to send you a card, PM me your address. If you like my card, you can send me one in return.

Okay, I used to have the Letter Writers Alliance and The Snail Mail Exchange in here. Somehow, my browsers settings and the forum's settings work together to prevent that from being the case at the moment. Whenever I try to update my signature, the whole process breakls down. So. Whatever.
