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 the Palm Springs area. I live in a lovely 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

"Hi There! I'm a wife and mom living in small town USA. I have been creating all my life using one medium or another.

My passion is inky/mixed media arts and I love sharing that passion with others through my blog - Ink Stains with Roni and my book - "Teach Yourself Visually - Collage and Altered Arts" (July 2009).

I think everyone has an artist lurking inside if they would just let it out!

I am trying to offer up vintage goodness at a reasonable price so everyone can incorporate a bit of the past into their art!" ~Ink Stained Roni Johnson

Diana Leigh

"I was born in Croydon, United Kingdom. I grew up in an artsy environment and at the perfect time for free ideas the 60's no wonder I have always been unconventional. My mother is an accomplished artist and was a promoter of art and craft shows in the UK. My grandmother was a silversmith, historian, and did the most amazing needlework. My father dabbled in antiques and my grandfather was a watchmaker.

While always having an unrelated mindless job I found ways to unleash my true creative spirit through sewing and knitting for my children in the 70's. Making stage clothes for bands and costumes in the 80's and faux painting and restoring furniture in the 90's and buying and selling vintage textiles and clothing and related items through the millennium.

I really enjoy the hunt for antique and vintage clothing and textiles I have had some exquisite pieces over the years. But I strongly believe in re purposing, revamping, remaking, what we have readily available as so many things deserve a second look. I am hoping to expand on that idea in the future.

Oh by the way I am open to reasonable offers........." ~ Diana Leigh
