Postcard Whisperer Updates
National Postcard Week
Hola Postcard Pals 👋
Belated greetings to the National Postcard Week
Even though I hadn’t signed up this year to participate, My mailbox was burgeoning with postcards from Deltiology lovers all over the country.
I don’t know what happened, but I felt the love, and I felt the need to respond.
So I’m going to try to get these beauties up in a gallery and see if Substack can handle it! 😁
Becca’s card was one of the first to arrive. Her message was loud and clear. It takes action to achieve results. So I got started designing my card to send out.
There were so many that came throughout the month. I continued working with Canva and AI to get something in the mail before the summer. I almost made it.
We sent cards out to everyone we received a card from. It took more time to organize and find the correct people on the roster than to actually get these beauties mailed out.
We also went to the PO today, and they again allowed us to hand cancel each postcard with the Plant City Postmark. This is always a grand joy for me, and Shade even participated in lining them up for me to postmark. Of course, I asked her first if she wanted the honor, but it’s just not her thing. She was more than happy to line things ups and help me mail them. She is a great encouragement and support, considering what she is always battling with her own health.
So without further delay, here is the gallery for National Postcard Week received.
Substack Gallery does not favor Postcard dimensions. But if you click on one of the cards, it will open up to the full view size.
It would take forever to upload any other way. Believe me, I’m trying everything to get these pictures out for everyone to see the easiest way possible.
Also June was NAPEX
Clarissa sent out those from the show as well.
Remember, I am a caregiver for my adult daughter, so it limits my time for the hobby. It does my heart good though when she feels up to joining me at a show or an event for postcard perusing. We do hope to be joyriding to visit some of the BIG shows and Big statewide yard sales, but it might have to be down the road a bit for her to stabilize.
In the meantime, Keep coming back to the chat! Where I’m sharing links to calendars and events all over the place.
Also, I’m setting up that calendar
You can access it here to save events to your own calendar.
👌 OK I think we’ve covered everything for this Month.
Hope to see you again soon with more Postcard Pal updates.
Please Share Postcard Whisperer to your favorite postcard collector!

Oh, this post lit me up like a Christmas tree. I love seeing all the postcards in a gallery like this, and it made me aware of a couple of wonderful clubs and websites I didn't know about before.
Hope all is well. Enjoy your summer.
