Slower Than a Text, but Much Cuter











For all readers of this blog post, I would like to apologize that I have the handwriting of a six year old. In retrospect, a typed project may have been more suitable. I would also like to clarify that these are all real postcards that I sent to my best friend. To protect her privacy, I added her last name and address after they were scanned.

Enjoy!

  1. It's wonderful that people still take the time to write postcards. You and your friend must be very close. I'm afraid the handwriting is a bit difficult to read though ...

  2. I absolutely love that one has a youtube generated URL in it. So new-retro :)

    1. I was going to comment about this as well! I love how digital communication even ends up sneaking in to pre-digital communication such as post cards! Just goes to show you how popular our digital world is.

  3. Absolutely lost it imagining Noah sending Ally dorky postcards professing his love for her. And I too love the youtube URL in one of them, did you feel like old doing that? Because my grandmother writes down full URLs still.

  4. This is so awesome. It's so cool to see that at least some people still believe in postcards and snail mail. Remember having pen pals in grade school? I wish that program existed for young adults too!
