  1. Ooh, lovely! My best letter writers are friends from AmeriCorps, and one who is a sailor. These would be fun to send!

  2. I love your postcards. Now that I’m living halfway cross country from my loved ones, I’ve been trying to send more thoughtful care packages… these would be a lovely addition!

  3. So excited about this giveaway! I love sending letters & postcards to my friends & family, they’d love to receive one of your awesome postcards in the mail, I’m sure!

  10. Wow! I LOVE these, and great photography too BTW! Here are my entries: 1) My favorite snail mail pen pal and I have been writing each other for some 10 years now! His name is Lynx and he currently lives in Hilo, Hawaii. Just last week I sent him a postcard (w/o postage, it will be hand-delivered by someone hopefully, as is the custom) from Post Office Bay in the Galapagos Islands. Excited to see how long it will take to reach him! 2) Already do! 3) Just did! 4) Just did! 5) Done!

  11. I love the patterns and the bright pop of color! These would definitely get me to send more mail!

  20. I adore your postcards and your other prints. Followed you on facebook to have a chance at the prize!

  23. Oh How wonderful! Happy Birthday Fellow March baby! I found your blog through my sister in law who is a fellow stationary nut! 🙂

  25. Happy birthday! ♥ The postcards are wonderful! Actually, I’ve just found a new penpal, Met – she and I are going to write each other postcards only 🙂
    PS: I’ve subscribed to e-mail updates as well.

  26. Love the bright colors! These would be amazing to use to write to my parents who live on the opposite coast.

  27. I love these! The colours are great and I really like the graphic print. I just liked your facebook page and am off to tweet about the giveaway!

  29. Liked you on FB twice; once for me and once for my page. I need to use snail mail to keep in touch with my friend in Ireland because she refuses to use the internet ( 😮 …I know!!). She’s an artist and I think she would love any one of these postcards.

  30. These are lovely! I’ll be living in Canada for six months from June, so I could use these beauties to send to my friends every now and then.

  38. I send about 20 postcards a week and would LOVE to have these to send to my favorite penpals. I also followed you on Twitter, liked you on Facebook, subscribed to the email update and tweeted the contest with #patternedpenpal so I think I’ve covered all bases! Good thing to do on Opening Day … although, there are only four bases so I guess I ran around Home to make it the fifth.

  47. Hi Erin,
    Thank you for the giveaway! I just started following you on Twitter (@snapandtumble) and am now a fan on your FB page :)These postcards are darling!

  49. Erin!

    My favorite, but only pen pal right now is one of my UCSC roommates! I hope to also start writing another former roommate too!
    I also a fan on FB.

    Julianna 🙂

  50. Hmm, my fav snail mail person? Sadly I don’t write letters much, but maybe I would if I won this giveaway!
    I love all your products and saw them at the xmas Unique LA and they are just as beautiful in person!

  58. Following you on Twitter and fb. My favorite “snail mail” pen pal is my aunt Lynn. She loves written messages, she writes the best letters! I try to reciprocate as much as I can. She would definitely love to receive some of these!

  59. I love sending snail mail to my bff Tiffany up in Berkeley. We send each other some of the most ridiculous postcards! …usually of things we find on the internet. I follow you on Twitter and get your newsletter!

  60. 1. My favourite snail mail penpal is the one I’ve had the longest, though she lives nearby again (after 20 years apart!) we still write each other. My BFF from primary school who moved away from me in 1991. Still have every letter & card! One of these would make a great thinking of you card for her!

    2. Followed you on twitter (@subgirl_win)

    3. “Liked” you on Facebook (different email there though it’s very similar, same name)

    4. Signed up for email updates! (Waiting for confirmation email still though).

    5. Tweeted as well with the hash tag (URL for tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/subgirl_win/status/320112897483210752 )

    I really hope I got all this in on time and get all my entries! I would love this set so much, I used to write nearly every day, sent letters weekly, but nearly completely stopped. Have jumped back in with both feet and am running out of lovely stationery to send very quickly! Thanks for the contest and am loving your blog (was new to me but saw a RT about the contest & have gotten hooked!)

  61. I discovered your blog recently and I love it. I am a Dutchie, so I hope I also can join this giveaway. I have two penpals and can not choose which of the two ladies my favorite is. They have both there own snail mail style and I think that is why I like snail so much, everybody has there own style.
