Snail Mail Saturday – Vintage Postcards

October 20, 2012

My friend Scott is an amazing pen pal, and is always sending me awesomely kitschy vintage postcards, which are too strange not to keep. He’s sent me dozens over the years, all of which I’ve kept, and many of which I’d even consider framing!

Believe it or not, this is just a small fraction of what he’s sent me over the years. I don’t know where he finds them all, but I know many of them come from flea markets or vintage shops. I love shopping for vintage postcards at the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market, there are always lots of postcard vendors there.
