Description:

I participated in the Serial PC swap this week and really enjoyed looking for a specific postcard. So....I thought I would create a swap where participants would look for specific postcards to send to their partner! I did see something like this recently and now I can't find it--if anyone knows and it's not too late, please send me a link...AND I hope I am not stepping on toes by listing this swap. If so, please let me know that, too, and I'll give credit where credit is due.

You will have one partner, and to your partner you will send the following:

1 vintage postcard (any image acceptable so long as the card itself is vintage)

1 postcard of a famous painting or a painting done by a famous artist or a portrait of a famous artist

1 postcard featuring your favorite (or one of your favorites) animal

1 postcard featuring moonlight or a night scene

1 postcard with a bird

1 postcard featuring something that your hometown (or country) is famous for

So...that's 6 postcards in one envelope to one partner.

All cards should be store-bought (no zazzle since some of the zazzle cards are not the greatest quality). It is acceptable for the PC's to come out of a postcard book.

Hope I get lots of joiners outside the U.S.--I just love receiving pc's from other countries!

You must have a 4.85 rating or above in order to join this swap, and be an active swapper. Banning is at my discretion, but I err on the side of allowing folks into the swap, and then "angeling" if we encounter a flaker. Like everyone, I want my swaps to be flaker-free, but I know better than anyone that LIFE HAPPENS. So...if you want to join and don't meet the requirements, please message me. And for all swappers' peace of mind, I will angel.

I can join this one. Usually I am unsure of at least one category, but this time I can cover all of them! Woo hoo!

Question about the vintage-should it be blank so partner can use it or should it be one already used/sent? Either one I can send. To my partner-i would be happy to receive either type, no preference.

Question on vintage...does the card itself be old or a new card with old picture?

I would love to join but can't fulfill the first two categories. :( New Zealand postcards are strictly touristy.

is this for new or used postcards?! i would prefer it to be new so that we can use what we recieve but want to make sure before i sign up!

EmilyT 07/22/2012 #

@craftyfairy at least 5 of the cards are definately new.

EmilyT 07/25/2012 #

Ok -vintage is to be unused as well. So yes all are 6 are new, @craftyfairy

My apologies--I did not see messages! Emily T is correct -- all new. You may include used as extras at your discretion. The card ITSELF must be vintage.
