This postcard is going to new dad Chris, proud parent of Fern the puppy. Happy father’s day to all the dads out there! Especially my pop who’s traveling in Africa right now.

{postcard of the week} greetings to oslo
This week’s postcard serves two purposes: 1) To act as a metaphor for the wacky cold weather we’ve been having in Tahoe… snow this late in the season is almost as crazy as seeing an octopus on a bear’s head. It’s loco I tell you! 2) To cheer me up from said weather.
Hope you enjoy! It’s headed on it’s way to a little four-year-old Postcrosser in Oslo, Norway.

{postcard of the week} greetings from bishop
Did you know Bishop, California, is the mule capitol of the world? Just one of many fun facts I picked up on my first visit to the town last weekend. This postcard is heading out to a lucky person today…
{postcard of the week} greetings from lake tahoe
Well, I’m back from my trip to Boulder. Such a different world there: street performers, crowded restaurants, jam-packed yoga classes, flat residential neighborhoods with blocks and blocks of houses, bike-friendly everything, and flowers!
While it was fun, I’m happy to be home to my simple, quiet life in Tahoe Pines and thus finished this simple Lake Tahoe stamp today. You can’t tell in the photo, but the lake is printed in a pearlescent blue so it shimmers. I plan to get these in some tourist spots for visitors to have a homemade postcard souvenir option. Note: lake is not to scale!
{postcard of the week} greetings from atlanta
This week’s postcard was purchased especially for my mom, who always says I don’t live close enough. I was visiting her last week in Georgia, and thanks to a recommendation from Chad and Tina of The Long Farewell, I popped into Young Blood Gallery and Boutique in Atlanta’s Virginia Highlands neighborhood. I not only purchased this card there but also a robot coffee mug and yeti t-shirt for Chris (check out some of the goods and their hand-stamped bags below). Young Blood will definitely be on my must-go list (along with Yoforia) whenever I’m in Atlanta from hence forth; they had dinosaur shirts and everything!
{postcard of the week} greetings from brno
I’m not sure what this creature is exactly… perhaps a baby polar bear, but it reminds me of the new little pup that’s now calling my house her home. Check out Fern’s likeness below.

Plus a Fern montage since I know you people can’t get enough puppy.
{postcard of the week} juxtaposition
This week’s postcard is not in my collection, but I’m admiring it (and the others in its set) from afar. A collaboration between Kansas City photographer Hannah Huffman and San Francisco artist Lisa Congdon, the limited-edition postcard set features four different diptychs (part photo, part illustration). Thanks to Poppy Talk for cluing me in on this!

SENDER: This gem come from the lovely Chérie, who was a coworker turned great friend of mine. As she loved to gift me postcard sets, she is responsible for many of the blank postcards in my collection, like the one below from Lela Lee’s Angry Little Girls series. The set of 30 postcards came in a lemon yellow tin that I’ve since kept to store other postcards.
ARTIST: David & Goaliath
This one’s in the mail to Chérie right now:
