Members Of The Pacific Postcards Team - Series 57

Welcome to the Pacific Postcards Team Meet and Greet.  We have a great team that had start simply as an Etsy Team but has branched out into Artfire, G+, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.  We would love for you to join are team and help promote New Artistically designed or reproduced postcards, collecting vintage and antique postcards, creating digital art, and anything to do with ephemera and vintage imagery.

First I would like to introduce myself, Colleen (Captain) and Frances (Leader) of the team:

"First a brief little introduction: I grew up a Midwest farm girl from Wisconsin but through a series of moments of self discovery I have since moved to California and live the city life in Palm Springs.  I live in a beautiful contemporary home where my husband and I have designed a small but very beautiful Japanese Garden.

Unfortunately, though, the contemporary look does not blend with my passion for vintage and antique Victorian froufrou.  So I have created for myself a virtual world with my shops.  I welcome you to my attic filled with all the treasures found and creations made especially for you..." ~Colleen Cornelius

"I create mixed media, collage, folk art, religious icons, jewelry with a twist, paintings & digital art. Frida Kahlo has long been my muse and some of my art is inspired by her colorful life and paintings. I also enjoy dressing up in costume for any occasion but especially for Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos celebrations and of course as Frida.

Hunting for treasures at flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops is also a favorite past time and I often incorporate these objects into my art..." ~Frances Perea

• Marilyn Cook-Borges

"Welcome to Vintagenuts Inc. I have been involved in the Interior Design Home Decor world for the last 20 years but really crafting and designing have been my first loves since I was a child. 

I grew up on a small Eastern Ontario farm, where we gardened, antiqued and renovated as a family. It was then I learned about collecting and refurbishing vintage items and antiques and later on in life selling them for my own design business. 

A handmade item adds unique character and vintage items lend a sense of history to a room, something every style of space cries out for.

I have put together a collection of handmade items that I have crafted myself and vintage finds that I think are perfect additions for the contemporary transitional home. Many of the items I am selling are “one’s of” that have quite a fast turnover so I suggest that when you see something that you simply can't live without add it to your cart or convo me to put it on reserve for you.

Now let’s get you shopping! " ~ Marilyn Cook-Borges

• Annelies Knijnenburg

"My name is Annelies and I live in the Netherlands in a town called Zoetermeer with my husband. Our two daughters are studying and living in towns nearby.

I'm from the fifties and was born in December.
I remember the cold winters we had with iceflowers on the windows and a heater that worked on coal. Sitting before the fireplace, drinking hot choco, looking at the real candles in the Christmastree, I became a real Christmaholic.
Since 2012 I'm a co-writer on www.christmaholic.nl, a Dutch website for Christmaslovers !

I allways have been a collector and over the years I collected some beautiful bookmarks which I'm selling here on Etsy now.
I love to stroll on fleamarkets looking for vintage jewelry and antique postcards and other interesting things. If there's anything special you're looking for, please convo me, so I can look for it when strolling:) 
I hope you love my shop and drop by to buy something ! Enjoy !" ~ Annelies Knijnenburg

"Click this link and get right to the business of my vintage postcards ephemera and photo note cards
http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheOldBarnDoor

I am a full-time organic farmer so my day starts early and ends late. My time is spent with my animals and large market garden of heirloom vegetables. Hard, but rewarding work and I wouldn't have it any differently. I do however find time to collect goodies and divest myself of extra items from my collection. I have a large collection of vintage postcards, Victorian Trade cards, stamps, covers and postal stationary and misc paper ephemera. 

I'm delighted to also now offer my art photography on blank photo note cards. The themes of these cards centre around my own backyard (just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz)

I am a proud member of The EtsyVintageTeam, an organization of Etsy sellers who are passionate about vintage and antiques, as well as items that are handmade with vintage components.
