My dad, a dealer in vintage paper, is sending a bunch of less-saleable stuff to auction. He's letting me go through a bunch of boxes of old postcards before he puts them up, to keep what I like for art or whatever. There are many that I don't think I'll use in my art, or keep for Miranda, but that I still think are charming. Old scenic cards from europe or tourist spots in the US in black and white, many with older style tinting, old, unfathomable jokes, kitchy prayers, peculiar sentiments.... It gets even better around christmas. The christmas postcards are seriously swell. If you'd like me to send you a postcard, send me your postal address. I'm magpie at-sign best dot com.
