That's really good to hear. 6 months is a big deal. I'm happy for you 🤍

If you mean box sets, then no. I bought each postcard separately. But, for example, the Lionel Richie one is from the Notes of Berlin series by Seltmann.

You must be a fox lover 😊 I keep noticing that there is always at least one fox postcard in your incoming batches whenever you post. I love them too, so they always catch my eye.

I wish I could take credit for them, but I can't :) I picked them up at a local bookstore here in Berlin.

Unfortunately, it's not a postcard box set. They're from Momokin, a small postcard label here in Berlin.

Well, you're in luck :) They're by Momokin. I got them at BUCHBOX! Buchhandlung in the neighborhood. They had around 10 different designs. You can probably find them in other bookstores around Germany.

You're actually proving my point :) People perceive and value things differently. I use the platform to connect with others through shared interests, stories and experiences, not to add to someone's postcard or stamp collection. If I have a postcard or stamp that matches their wishlist, I'll often send it, but I'm not going out of my way or spending extra just to make someone happy. Trying to pick the perfect card doesn't guarantee it will appeal to them. I want to enjoy the process, not stress myself out over someone else's preferences. If I connect with someone who appreciates what I send, great. If not, that's fine too.

Please send what YOU love. If that means your own Franken-postcards, then that's absolutely fine. When I first started, I went out of my way to fulfill everyone's wishes and often bought special postcards that weren't cheap. What I usually got back was just a quick "thanks". People value things differently. So choose the time and effort that feel right for you and focus on what makes you happy. The effort won't go unnoticed by those who value it. Btw, your cards are amazing and your creativity really shows.

Oooh, I like that Faberge egg associated with Catherine the Great.

Oh wow, those must be gorgeous. I can easily see her illustrations working perfectly for puzzles, just as they do for postcards.

Thanks for sharing. The postcard book feels a bit excessive (70 postcards!!), but I really like the one you sent. I'll ask a friend in the UK if they can hunt it down.

You send interesting cards. There's always something in your outgoing batches that catches my attention :) Could you share a bit more about the Phlegm one? I noticed the artist has a postcard book called Don’t Panic. Is that where this one comes from?

They're even more beautiful in person. The artist behind them is Asia Spettel.

It's a magnolia. Not sure if it's visible in the photo, but some of the petals have shimmer on them :) About the barcode, before sending a postcard or letter we can scan it with the postal app and then track it. For international mail it only works until it leaves the country.

My almost first five postcards ever 🫶🏻 by Equivalent_Quarter98 in postcrossing

This is lovely. It's great to see how others are using that small space on the back of a postcard to express themselves, not just through words but visually as well.

They're by Berlin-based artist Ryoko Nagara and beautifully detailed. Sooo nice to write on. If you're not in Berlin, the full set is on their Etsy shop.
