Mouse put it in the mailbox herself. :-) I was looking at postcards online and think I may have to order some that way. I don't mind the touristy cards myself, but it seemed like the people I got this round all were specific about not wanting those types of cards. It makes it hard when that's all I have on hand or can find.<br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoyed The Dress Shop of Dreams! I hope to read it soon.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-52425527812670677122015-01-23T19:49:12.401-08:002015-01-23T19:49:12.401-08:00First, let me say that Gage received his train pos...First, let me say that Gage received his train postcard a few days ago and was over the moon abnout it! Thank you so much for sending it. I think it will be the first in his train postcard collection :) Postcards can be hard to find. I am always searching for them when we are out or on vacation. Some people actually want the touristy cards, but I have quite a collection now. Museum stores are good and I ordered a few Reading Woman postcard books online just so I could always be spreading the word :) <br />I just finished The Dress Shop of Dreams and really liked it.stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-70058688563882822822015-01-21T11:14:07.863-08:002015-01-21T11:14:07.863-08:00Iliana - She is feeling much better, thank you. :-...Iliana - She is feeling much better, thank you. :-) I've had my review all ready to post for Joy Street since last week.

It's nice to still be in touch after all these years. I started pen palling in middle school and continued well into adulthood. <br /><br />I really like your idea of making postcards. I'm not very crafty so I'm not sure how well they would turn out, especially in the beginning. And finding the time is an issue. I've been talking for about a year now about wanting to make note cards with the help of my daughter when she's a little older. I think it would be fun. I'll have to seriously give it some thought. Thank you for the idea!<br /><br />I didn't participate in the New Year's Eve readathon on LibraryThing, I'm afraid. It must be someone else you are thinking of. I would have loved to do something like that; maybe when my daughter is much more independent.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week too.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-84507379322791092292015-01-13T21:05:31.069-08:002015-01-13T21:05:31.069-08:00Yvonne - It sounds like it will be good!
