The Beauty of the Postcard


So PostSecret managed to make these babies cool again, but why not bring the postcard back into your everyday life, sans the deep dark secret confessions? Great for love letters + lunch notes + cheap framed art for your starving apartment walls.

Recession Progression Tip:
A pack of 30 postcards will set you back around $10 USD, the equivalent of the cost of two birthday cards. Use these for birthday cards instead and you'll get an extra 28 celebrations, hey-o!
Plus you'll also get "you're the supercoolest" points FREE from your friends. Barg-wain!

Chronicle Books do great postcards, all around $10 USD / pack. Featured here are ones from the collections Catalog Woman and Romance Pulp:





Want to be even thriftier? Many charity shops have a postcard basket where you can purchase old, unused postcards for 10¢ each. So go on and fake that trip to California in the 70's! Who cares if you were born in '81??!

Long live the postcard! We heart.
