For many years, my shop followed one simple idea:something for everyone. For almost 14 years, I created postcards in many different styles, moods, and themes. Cute and serious. Colorful and minimal. Illustrated and photographic. The goal was always the same: to make sure anyone, no matter their taste, could find at least one postcard that […]

(and why they work year after year) Choosing a postcard for Postcrossing often has very little to do with how beautiful the card is. Most of the time, the real question is much simpler: will this card actually work for this person? After years of packing orders, reading profiles, and sending postcards myself, I’ve noticed […]

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.

If you’ve visited the website lately, you may have noticed a lot of […]

Sometimes all you need is a cat, a cup of tea, and a window with a good view. That’s exactly how the new postcard series “The Window Diaries with Marluki“ began. I had this vague idea for a postcard series where the scene stays the same, but the decorations and mood change depending on the […]

This week I launched Slow Summer Dreamer’s Box. Now it is time to tell you the story. I’ve wanted to create a seasonal stationery box for years. Not weeks or months. Literally years. It was one of those ideas that kept floating around in my mind while I packed orders or worked on other things. […]

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 […]
