Dana writes that they had not heard of this place (neither had I) and that it was very interesting to learn the history of local indigenous peoples in northern Arizona.
I’ll put it on the list!
Postcard from Montezuma Castle
Category: Mail
SKS: San Francisco
I love the color scheme of this postcard, and the iconography. Sara grabbed it on her way from from San Francisco airport. She was hoping to find an outgoing mailbox in the airport, but did not discover one.
Postcard from Waimea Plantation Cottages
This pretty postcard arrived in the mail today.
Such a delightful preprinted postcard!
Postcrossing from Naantali, Finland
Anne writes from a town with the best spa in Finland.
I wouldn’t mind visiting someday.
Postal Machine Goes Rrriiippp
I’ve seen this bag around my mail before, and it’s never a good sign.
Here’s where the rip happened.
Apologies from the USPS.
The tear went right through the letter, but I was able to piece things together again and read it.
Exciting times supplied by the USPS.
Postcrossing: From Susan in Utah
Susan made this pretty postcard in response to my Postcrossing bio that says that I love libraries.
Susan also likes libraries and has spent a lot of time volunteering and serving on the board of her county library.
Thanks for the pretty postcard, Susan!
SKS: Smile
The nice orange color made this easy to find in the pile of postcards I need to put on the website.
Sara wonders if the message sounds less patriarchal because it comes from her. She knows that I, like many women, HATE being told by men to smile.
Sara goes on to explain she wanted to send some orangey cheer.
The last line is also fun: And, like a true academic, I used all my space to discuss the patriarchy. Ha!
Orangey cheer accomplished!
My Ninth Postcrossingversary!
Is Postcrossing the best place on the internet? Perhaps.
Postcrossing Again!
I’ve sent off some Postcrossing postcards, because Postcrossing is a thing that makes me quite happy. This postcard, the first Postcrossing postcard I’ve received in many years, is from Noriko, who lives in Pasadena California.
I love the woodcut design, the quote, and also the stamp.
Thanks, Noriko!
SKS: Southern Poverty Law Center
Sara reports that they got this lovely set of postcards in the mail last week.
She also reports that they are in their usual timing for the holiday card and she’s hoping to get it sent in January.
