I’m not a great postcard writer except to my friend Janine who always insists that I send one no matter how near or far the trip. Usually by the time I’ve remembered I need to post them, we’re already packing our suitcases for the journey home!

But in the age of sending phone texts and pictures, maybe we should all make more of an effort to keep this tradition alive. The love of postcards is still alive and well on Etsy, from just off the press to vintage, from recycled to stamp your own. Here are some of my favourite finds on postcards and their many uses!

Down this Road Before

A combination of postcard and sepia tone photography gives this print a haunting atmosphere. By MoorePhotography, $27.

Madame Earrings

Lola uses vintage postcards in several of her jewelry pieces but I chose these earrings not only because they are gorgeous, but I love how she photographed them hanging on a little glass inkwell; the back of the earrings are printed with the words: “write letters.” By TheLolaCollection, $32.
