Ehhhh....hotel staff is a crapshoot. Having worked in hospitality for years, I hate to admit it, but there are some really doozies out there and I've known folks who would have tossed them. Hopefully, ya'lls stuff just got delayed by a day or two.

We had a mail drop slot at my hotel that was locked, so the guests knew that their mail wouldn't be messed with.

Cards going out this weekend!

I have had such a great time with this! My kids love seeing all the postcards in the mail and think that the "postcard game" I am playing with my friends is pretty fun. Since I have not ventured anywhere lately, all of mine were purchased locally, of things/places I am fond of. If you have not gotten one from me yet-you will soon

And, honestly, I am probably going to send out another batch in a few weeks.

Can those that have purchased postcards at stores, please tell me where you got them?

Being in OK, I had a hard time locating a store, so I went to a tourist info center a few miles from where I live.

It isn't actually that easy Wolfy...I had to really think... Truck stops, large gas stations, "Made in Michigan" Store, sometimes "quaint" small town stores around me have them like the local Ice Cream Parlor, drugstore or local historical society building. One of our Dollar stores carries them and our local travel agency and nature center too.

I live in a really small town area though. So, I am sure others may have better suggestions for you.

Good Luck!

These are all good options, Wolfy. I got mine at the Chamber of Commerce. They had some displayed at my work bank and I asked about them because I thought they were nifty. Someone also mentioned to me that I could get them online.

i've found some really cool postcards at bookstores. yes, the huge conglomerate ones. barnes and noble usually has a decent selection. they may not necessarily be "about" the area you're in, but i've gotten some cool marilyn monroe, david bowie, and just rockin' photo postcards. also, while you're at the bookstore, look around in the travel area. lots of stores carry postcard "books", some specific to your state.

Which, I grant you, is very cool....but not quite as cool as the one little man sent me. *smug grin*

I found mine at a small grocery store near my office. I live in a small town and was not having an easy time finding any then I remembered having seen some there. I honestly I thought I may have to venture to the airport-lol.

Big change from being in Florida in May. You could close your eyes, swing a bat and knock over a dozen postcard racks, regardless of where you were
