On October 1st, postcards are celebrating their 150th anniversary, and everyone is invited to the party!

Introduced in 1869 as a way of sending a simple message, postcards quickly evolved beyond their practical purpose to become the universal souvenir that brightens everyone's mailboxes.

Remember that spike of excitement the last time a postcard magically appeared in your mailbox?

I will be sending postcards all through October and would love to send some obligation free postcards to Penpal Readers friends.

If you would like a postcard, comment here and message me your address.

I will send to everyone who requests mail.
