Ontario and Pennsylvania share a border (albeit in the middle of a large lake), but it took almost seven weeks for a postcard to get from Windsor ON to Harrisburg PA.

 

Anyway, nice handwriting, Mike!

Seven weeks, Fred? Perhaps postal workers from both sides of the border took the postcard around the office for a show and tell moment. 😊

Anyone for the following postcards? I have lots, especially the older vintage size.

 

railways and trams: steam diesel electric

vintage linen postcards of western North Carolina and Blue Ridge Parkway

vintage postcards of US states and Canada provinces, western Europe, Japan

modern and old China

Pennsylvania, especially city of Reading and Berks County, from the 1970s (many!)

vintage and modern postcards of Amish

vintage photo cards of people and homes (my favorite)

vintage early 20th-century Holland

vintage and modern cards of art and architecture

vintage hotels and motels

and there are others, to be sure

Dvalliere,

Guess what!? I'd also love a postcard from Titletown. As I said in a previous thread, I'll post my address in due course.

 

Many thanks

They'll continue to arrive. Postcards are like that. :-)

I would like to join as well. I live in Germany and I love making cards. So, if there are people who do not mind receiving a home made card...let me know.

I have never done the pc swap here but I have done the penpal route and have made some great penpal some going on 10 years. But I would love to exchange pc with people. I messaged a few people 1 went back probably too many months. So if anyone is interested lmk I decided not to pester people.

Email me for an updated list of ink for trade or if you want to exchange letters

I'm in!

I'm from Albenga - Italy , and I'll love to write and receive postcards from and to anywhere, with a little preference for EU, since postage in Italy is quite an issue.

 

Thanks!

For those of us too lazy to read through 143 pages, how does the exchange work?

Your life is the result of the choices you make. If you don’t like your life, it’s time to start making better choices.

Simply post that you want to exchange postcards; say a litlle about where you are from and perhaps the subject of the cards you will send, and ask interested members to message you. Easy.

While my poor pen pals have to be patient people (some of them have indeed given up on me), I am generally not too bad with postcards. Perhaps it's the clearly limited space. I always try to use the most interesting stamps I have handy. I cannot guarantee specific types of pictures, as I usually keep a large box of postcards from which I select more or less at random. If you'd like me to send you a card, PM me your address. If you like my card, you can send me one in return.

Okay, I used to have the Letter Writers Alliance and The Snail Mail Exchange in here. Somehow, my browsers settings and the forum's settings work together to prevent that from being the case at the moment. Whenever I try to update my signature, the whole process breakls down. So. Whatever.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
