We are having our 2nd Annual Postcard Swap (exchange) in celebration of NPCW, National Postcard Week, May 5th - 11th. You do not have to be a member to join in this fun activity and aside from the actual cost of postcards and postage there is no charges or fees. For more information please go to posting:

Kameo Crafts
"Hi,
my name is Tom and I live in Ghent, Belgium, known for it's medieval center, handmade mustard, cuberdons, and much more.
I've been crafting and drawing ever since I can remember. I also have always been very fascinated by nature. I’ve been searching a long time for a style, an identity that fits me. I love to paint, draw or illustrate wildlife but not in a perfect way. I don’t try to put everything in, I try to leave everything out. I look at the animal or plant and try to bring it back to simple shapes and forms. You could call it minimal realism. It’s the perfect style for me combining my passion for facts and biology with my need to create artistic images. Check out my store to see the different styles I make. The images I create I apply to different crafted objects like boxes, buttons, magnets, cards, et cetera.
Kind regards
Tom from Kameo" ~Tom

Vintage Nuts Inc.
"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 has been my first love 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.
It is my belief that vintage and handmade items add warmth and charm to just about any interior. 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.
Since many of the items I am selling are “one’s of” all sales are final.
Now let’s get shopping!" ~Marilyn Cook-Borges

Pecan Hill Antiques
"I have been acquiring antiques, collectible and just plain stuff for most of my life. I have filled cabinets, shelves, and walls with my favorites to the point I can hardly get around my home. I love to shop for new merchandise at auctions, estate sales, flea markets and antique malls and shows. To maintain my obsession with acquiring, I do have to sell some items along the way. I buy and sell items that we truly like."

We have 2 different memberships: one is a general membership, for those who love postcards and collecting postcards and the other is designed for shops with at least 25% of their
items listed are postcards.
The only difference in the memberships is that the latter will be included in shop
interviews, BNRs and postcard related activities. We also plan on having activities for
the general memberships. Hope to see you there soon.
