When people visit my shop for the first time, they often see many different postcards and assume they all appeared one by one. In reality, many of them belong to something much bigger: a series. Some series start as a single experiment. Others grow slowly over years. And sometimes a postcard unexpectedly becomes the beginning […]

Every Postcrosser knows this moment. You receive an address, open the profile, and read something like: “I collect vintage trains, lavender fields, maps of Iceland, hedgehogs, dark fantasy dragons, handmade lino prints and very specific 1980s typography.” You look at your desk. You have a cat. A mushroom. And something abstract in beige. So what […]

This is one of those questions I get asked surprisingly often. Usually, people are hoping for a number. Ten? Twenty? Fifty? Something that sounds reasonable and final.

December has always been my favorite kind of chaos. The kind that smells like cinnamon, paper, and coffee, and somehow mixes a to-do list with real excitement.

Last week I received a special email: a note from Postcrossing congratulating me on my 17th anniversary with the project. Seventeen years! When you think about the fact that Postcrossing itself is celebrating its 20th birthday, it means I’ve been part of this amazing community for most of its life. That’s a long journey of […]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve sat down with a postcard, pen in hand, address already written, stamp licked… and then thought: “But what do I actually write?” Quick note before we start: I always read the recipient’s Postcrossing profile first. Most people leave hints about what they enjoy (some even list specific […]
