I run a small postcard, gifts, and stationery shop in Europe, and for more than a decade, postcards have been passing through my hands every single day. Thousands of orders, tens of thousands of cards, countless messages from Postcrossers. So when people ask me what postcards are best for Postcrossing, my answer is never “the […]

Do Christmas postcard trends actually change, or am I just imagining it because I spend too much time staring at snowflakes, cookies, and postal boxes? This year I decided to look back at the past […]

Autumn always feels like the real beginning of the creative year for me. Summer slips away, I finally stop melting over my printer, and the shop becomes a tiny paper storm: new postcards, boxes, stickers, packaging chaos, and a lot of coffee.

So… you haven’t written a postcard in months. Your washi tape is collecting dust. You open your journal, stare at the first blank page, and quietly close it again. First of all, welcome back. You’re not late. You’re not behind. You’re just here. And that’s enough to begin again. Let’s be honest, even the hobbies […]

It’s been a while since I last wrote about my days, hasn’t it? Let’s fix that. In recent weeks, I’ve been busy with a fresh shop update – summer-themed postcards, including a slightly sarcastic new series called Postcrossing Truths. It’s made to poke fun at ourselves a little and to gently highlight just how dramatic […]

Welcome to part two of my Q&A series! This time, we’re getting into the messy, magical, often-overwhelming world of running a small creative business. You asked some really insightful questions: about numbers, burnout, orders, and that ever-elusive balance between passion and paying the bills. So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the […]
