Vintage postcards are fun to collect, to frame, to save in a decorative box, or to give for a unique, thoughtful gift (framed or tucked into a special greeting card).
This love of vintage postcards led me to open a postcard department in my store, Birdhouse Books. I have cards featuring dogs, cats, Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, and lots of Roadside Americana (motels, restaurants, stores, amusement parks). The postcard above features a swimming pool at the Carriage House Resort motel in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This looks exactly like motels I remember staying at during my childhood!
I'm hosting a vintage postcard giveaway on my blog. It's easy to enter with the Rafflecopter form below. The contest will end on Tuesday, June 10, at 11:59 PM. On Wednesday, June 11 I will use Rafflecopter to randomly draw a winner. The winner will receive a vintage postcard valued under $10 from my shop. (Winner selects their favorite postcard in this range.) You'll see all the great cards in this price range here: vintage postcards at Birdhouse Books.
