Description:

I love sending mail to distant places almost as much as I love getting mail! It has been a while since I held 1 of these "Unusual Postcard" swaps, so I thought it was time to do another 1.

Do you have (or can you get a hold of) some "unusual" postcards that aren't the typical scenery kind? Postcards of art, old posters, depicting old advertising, just plain funny, weird pictures, altered postcards, etc. If so, then this is the swap for you! The only thing I ask that you DON'T send would be postcards of openly political, religious, or obscene nature ~ since this is an international swap, we all have different views on these things & I don't want anyone to be offended.

You will have 4 partners & should send 1 postcard to each partner. This swap is not limited to the USA, anyone can join. Sign up for this swap by November 26th. Postcards must be mailed out by December 2nd.

Please note that I do read through people's ratings, etc before the swap close date & pay a lot of attention to these details. If you have a rating lower than a 4.0000, you will be dropped from this swap. This is only fair to all involved in this swap & I'm pretty leniant compared to other swap hosts. I will, however, take into consideration that some people are newbies here at swap-bot & are in other swaps, but have not yet received a rating...we all had to start somewhere. Newbies without ratings are on the full honor system that they will send their swap out on time.

Happy Swapping!

I've got some great old postcards that would be perfect for this, and I would love to make this my first swap!

Are these to be sent through the mail with a message or sent blank in an envelope???

AuntNub 11/ 3/2006 #

I always send mine through the mail with a message & without using an envelope. I guess it all depends on what everyone's preferences are in receiving them. So...unless you leave a note here asking for the postcards you receive to arrive in an envelope, they will arrive as postcards normally do..."naked." LOL

Noob here and would love to participate in this. Can't wait to go shopping for some funky new postcards!!

(and I wouldn't mind getting some "naked" postcards back either-lol)

Cards went out yesterday (Tuesday)! Enjoy!

user5051 12/ 1/2006 #

Mine went out today(Thurs). Will take awhile for the folks in Canada though- mail is pretty slow at this time of the year.

Got one from Tracie today! Thanks! Great color in that card.

Oops! and I'm not sure if I signed my user name either, so Jean=Kussy

Hi Sara: Thanks for the vintage diner postcard. I'm afraid we don't have any authentic old diners here in Ottawa anymore - the last one closed about 10 years ago. This was a fun card! Tassy

sara0811 12/ 5/2006 #

I got a great card from Lucinda. It's going straight onto my fridge where my kids can see it when they come home on winter break from college. (It says "Make yourself at home! Clean my kitchen.) Perfect!!!hahaha. Thank you!

prettylily 12/ 6/2006 #

Lovely stained glass window card came today. Unfortunately, I can't make out the signature. Thank you and I'll give another when partners are shown. I loved it

EmilyPostPunk 12/ 7/2006 #

I received a fantastic postcard from Diana today. It definitely made me smile!

sara0811 12/11/2006 #

I got postcards from Linda and Lisa. Both were definitely unusual and great to add to my collection. This has been a fun swap.

Hi all! Two more cards arrived- thanks Candie and Jane. Both cards are great! Love the cow working out--did you really send it from China?

The red wood shoes look very nice, tho I can't imagine a guy wearing them...

BTW, a got a rating from someone. How do I rate ppl who sent cards to me?
