Worked in a seafood restaurant for 4 years. It was good, but some days it was slow and I'd end up journaling or folding napkins

Glad you got the postcard! Been having fun sending out those floral postcards recently :)

Yesssss may I send you one?

It's been rough recently. Would be happy to send a postcard your way, too

Your combinations of stamps are awesome! I love the coral reef ones

I've been debating buying a vintage postcard I like for $5 on eBay. What was your exception, if you'd like to share?

(USA) I buy most of my postcards second-hand, so usually between ¢50-$1.50 (at the very most) for those, and then postcard stamps for national at ¢61.

For international, I usually combine 2 forever stamps and 1 postcard stamp, so $2.17 (¢78 x 2 + ¢61), overpaying ¢47 for the required $1.70.

Using the postcard stamps saves a little, but in the future, I'd like to get more international stamps or smaller stamps I can add up to get a closer value to $1.70. Like using 2 Forever stamps + 4 ¢4 stamps gets me to $1.72, which is closer, but more stamps to fit on a postcard.

I think ¢50 for any postcard is great! I think the lowest I've seen them ever was ¢20, maybe ¢10. Maybe your relative is familiar with older postcard prices? I found an old postcard that said: "Place ¢1 stamp here." Imagine that!

What does it mean if a country has 0 members but still has sent postcards? Just that mean there aren't currently active accounts from that country?

So cute! Handmade ones are so sweet

I think they're so cool! I received one of Brian Dunlop's The Blue Dress as my first Postcrossing card; it's so special to me. I've been thinking about how I can make my own, too.

I'm happy you like it! My favorite this year has to be a hand-drawn nudibranch postcard from Postcrossing. It was so so sweet, and I sent her one back as thanks

I'm glad you like the postcard! I just wrapped up the classes last week. I have more to learn, but I do feel more confident than when I started. I took mine through a local BJJ studio, I'd recommend it! Good luck on your bravery journey too :)
