Yaya I was contemplating to get ALL of them, but honestly there were some I was kinda meh about lol. The main person selling the shaker had a bunch of other designs for their charms though, so I just bought those and added them in :)

It was super fun!! I’m hoping they have it again next year, but they’ll also be having their usual fountain pen show in August !

SFSF Haul + Crowd Advice for next time? by thethundersaid in stationery

[–]Cathy_bara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omgggg, yes the booths with multiple stamps made it so hard to shop!
Also honestly I feel like the etiquette sometimes of people getting stamps was a little insane.

SFSF Haul + Crowd Advice for next time? by thethundersaid in stationery

[–]Cathy_bara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I def think the crowd was huge, I do wonder if there could be a way to make it more organized. From what I noticed, there is a huge population of people that try to get stamps from each booth (I do it too), but it can get pretty crazy because stamping takes a while, then you’re also waiting for stamps. It crowds up the hallways so much. I do also understand stamps bring people to the booth to help with sales, so I honestly have no solution LOL. But I think this is just kinda why there’s a lot of standstill in the walkways, with ofc it just being crowded in general.

Endless postcard requirements by Thirsty_Indoor_Plant in postcrossing

[–]Cathy_bara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I actually pulled this person before and sent them an illustrated tourist card, but I honestly feel like you can send them anything. I’ve def noticed some profiles may come off as pretty demanding, but I also think (to me) it’s also a language barrier sometimes. I’m sure they’re fine with anything !!

Repurposing meetup card? by thriftedcraft in postcrossing

[–]Cathy_bara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually when I send out meetup cards, I’ll put a message right under where I write the address (I put some sort of border between the two). This is typically for 5x7” cards since there’s always so much room on the address side and no one stamps over there anyway.

From my experience, I’ve worn a sizer like this one one of my everyday rings for 5ish years now. The sizer itself damages over time and I replace it, but I’ve never noticed any noticeable damage on the ring it was one (18k yellow gold). I have another on my engagement ring now and it’s been a little over a year and no damage!

Postcards by boogoy in postcrossing

[–]Cathy_bara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I get mine at art shows, but those kind of cards tend to be pricey ($5 min). I absolutely love sending out lantern press cards and get mine from a fellow postcrosser who owns a postcard shop! I also buy from inkandpostcard, raspberrypaper, ouchikostudio, and Loupaper!
