In this blog I wish to share postcards from my collection with others, as there are many different catagories of postcards. I also will share what I am currently selling on Ebay. I like selling, buying and trading postcards. The Plus in the title is for the handcraft items I make and collect. Also for all the ephemera I collect.

Front of Postcard from Butte
This postcard is from 2006....The sender says Have a laugh! Not sure why. Who are these men in the photo. I would guess a picture of classmates? Brothers? Fraternity? Soldiers?
Mailed to a lady though who is living at the Y.M.C.A.

Handmade Postcard and ATC's
Making Fabric Postcards has been increasingly popular with Mixed Media Artists, Quilters, and others. I had bought several books about making Fabric Postcards and decided to just get out the sewing machine and have my hand at it. I started with a basic piece of felted wool, stitched on lace, word phrases (I printed them on my computer) and tag. Added a handmade yo yo I made. Added a piece of muslin on the back and a strip with words Post Card, and Place Stamp Here. You can mail these direct but with the button I would probably put it in an envelope. Below are Artist Trading Cards (ATC) small versions of ones art work which are traded with other artists. They are usually 2 1/2 in by 3 1/2 in. This was new for me and I have lots to learn.

Lady with Quilt Postcard
I just found this postcard while browsing around in an antique mall yesterday. I think a quilter might enjoy having this postcard. Tucks postcards are plentiful but still collectible. I have decided to list this postcard on Ebay.

Extraterrestrial Highway, Rachel Nevada - From my archives
I think this postcard is computer generated. It shows you can make your own postscards. There are many postcards with the message Greetings From......but I particularly like this one. I picked it up in Rachel Nevada which is near Area 51 where of course the aliens are!! If you ever listened to Art Bell on the radio you will know about Rachel. The highway is in the middle of nowhere but has beautiful scenery and the town is a lot of fun. I bought a lot of souvenirs at the Little Alien Inn. But I didn't see any aliens.
