Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - Beware The 'Og


Our Meet and Greet PPT member today is one of our youngest members, Ellen Jane.  She is owner of Beware The 'Og, a shop filled with fun, whimsical handmade items along with a few vintage.  Her creative art includes saying from my favorite series of movies, Harry Potter, good taste at an early age.  Her growing little shop has some lovely vintage postcards that have been turned into greeting cards:

This little excerpt describing her shop is from Ellen's shop announcement:
"Unique handmade and vintage necklaces, t-shirts, iPhone cases, paintings, greetings cards and high-quality photo prints by Ellen Jane. Always open to custom orders, and any feedback/suggestions"
~Ellen Jane

Here is a little bit more about Ellen from her Profile on Etsy:
"Howdy! :) I'm Ellen, I'm 16, and I'm an Etsy addict :'D Being too lazy to try and get a real job, I've started making unique, quirky bits and pieces and selling them on my Etsy shop: 'Beware The Og'. Check it out! :') "
~Ellen Jane

It is wonderful to see young people join our group and have an interest in postcards.  Thank you  Ellen for being a member and I hope that everyone stops by and visits you.

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - Four Corners Design

I am slowly making it through our Pacific Postcards Team members; I am so happy to see how much our team has grown!  Our Meet and Greet PPT member today is Amy Duncan owner of Four Corners Design, a shop filled with beautiful handmade postcards with a vintage flare.  She creatively combines vintage items together for amazing staged photographs to which she adds digital artistry to create her amazing selection of cards.  She also designs cards from nostalgic images of unstaged shots that she has taken.  Here are a few of her beautiful cards:

This little excerp is from Amy's shop announcement:
"Welcome to four corners design! I have a knack for taking things that are old, worn-out, forgotten and making art... giving new life to remnants of the past. Multi-media collage, both original art and digital reproductions, is my passion but I'll tackle anything that catches my eye & enthusiasm..."
~Amy Duncan

Here is a bit more about Amy from her Profile and Shop Announcement on Etsy:
"I'm a multi-media collage artist, using whatever I can find at hand to create. Combining my photography skills with my ability to make the best use of scraps, remnants and leftovers, I create a layer collage that tells a story...in other words, creative combinations of everyday ephemera."

Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - Agnes of Bohemia

I am ready to show off some more of our Pacific Postcards Team (PPT) members!  Our Meet and Greet PPT member today is Chantal H. owner of a lovely little shop called Agnes of Bohemia.  She offers a great selection of vintage postcards and stamps ranging in dates from the early 1900s through the 1960s.   Here are a couple of my favorites:
You know how much I love night scenes and this one is just great!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/104388150/ausable-chasm-ny-the-flume-by-night
This one reminds me of the movie, Birds!  Oh No! look out my Dapper Chaps (LOL)
http://www.etsy.com/listing/98439478/sale-1910s-vintage-postcard-j-j-1102-les
This little excerp is from Chantal's shop announcement:

"I sell vintage postcards and stamps (1900 - present). They are great for collecting and also great as supplies for many different projects, whether they be used as part of a painting, journal, dress, box, collage, bookmark, anything you can imagine!

If you have any special requests, questions, or are interested in working out a pricing deal if you are buying multiple items, please contact me. I will be more than happy to help you!

Every purchase comes with a free random postcard (or stamp) from my collection. If you have a preference as to what your free gift is (you'd prefer a stamp instead of a postcard), please let me know! If you don't want the free postcard or stamp at all, also please let me know.

Let me know if you'd be interested in getting notified when I put up a new listing or when I put an existing listing on sale. If I get enough people interested, I'll come up with a simple, spam free way to do this, via whatever multimedia the majority prefers. I promise not to abuse my notification powers!

And, of course, thank you so, so much for your interest in my shop! I hope you like it! I am open to all suggestions and criticisms, in fact I want them! I want to make this the best shop that I can.

Have fun!"

~Chantal H.
This one is just plain cool looking!

Here is a bit more about Chantal H. from her Profile and Shop Announcement on Etsy:
"*The artist who did the painting in my current profile picture is Flavia Sorrentino*

I am a New Yorker, currently living in Cambridge, Massachusetts with my husband. I enjoy cooking, reading, writing letters, watching movies, and collecting old postcards, stamps and books. My favorite authors are Marguerite Duras and Emile Zola.  I love history and try to include some tidbits and facts with my listings.

My postcards and stamps can be used for a wide variety of things. Everything from collecting to sending to use as supplies in various forms of artwork, like earrings, journal covers, book marks, furniture decals, in scrapbooks and much, much more!..."
