Great Lakes Area Postcard show information!

Great Lakes Area Postcard show information!

I attended my first postcard show today, and had an AMAZING time! I have so much I want to say about it 😮‍💨

They had some info about upcoming shows, which I wanted to share for people in the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana area in case people were interested

The pumpkin flyer is for a show in the Chicago area, and is actually a postcard so I plan on making an offer for them 😆(I grabbed a few)

Anyways, I was the youngest person there, like by a decent amount, so it’d be awesome to show support and keep these events alive!

This is their website: https://www.postcardarcheology.com

I was too overstimulated to take pictures but lmk if you want details about what it was like or if you want to see some of my haul 🙈

u/BlueStripedBaker - Thank you for the vintage postcard! That’s so funny that your mom grew up in FH! It’s a nice area.

u/Exit_Infinite - Thank you for the awesome cat postcard. Its adorable! It’s crazy how your handwriting can change when you’re being intentional vs trying to be fast.

u/No-Conditions5102 - Thank you for the card! I love the Ghibli stickers too but omg the ghost ones are so CUTE. I’ve started collecting Halloween theme stickers/cards to send next month so these are so perfect. Thank you! Working on writing you back 😊

u/boomerang88 - Thank you so much for the visitor center postcard! That’s the cutest thing ever! You are strongly reawakening my childhood desire to visit New Zealand. Also the stamps you’ve used have all been incredible!

u/WastingTime1994 - Thank you for the awesome London postcard. It sounds like Terminal 3 was not a bad place to hang out! I hope your jet lag recovery is going okay!

u/FollowingtheBeat - Thank you for the sticker bomb card! I actually just sent a postcard your way today so it was a funny coincidence receiving this from you today!

SE Michigan RAOCers?

Hi! I’ve exchanged with/written to a handful of semi-local RAOC members, which led me to wonder how many of us might be around from Michigan (specifically SE/metro Detroit area).

Maybe we could set up a meetup at some point if there was interest! I’m kinda jealous of the big city meetups and the nearest postcrossing meetup I saw was GR I think

u/TheCuriousCur - Thank you so much for the Fellowship postcard! The blockbuster sticker is a great touch. It’s a long story but I have John Rhys-Davies’s autograph! He uh…tickled me when I was 12. It was weird. Also how do you seal the front of these? I’ve just been doing tape but yours looks so good.

u/cidavid - Thank you for the adorable snoopy postcard! The pandas are so cute too 🐼

u/tokkieface - Thank you so much for the Castle in the Sky postcard! I’m so jealous you saw Joe Hisaishi at Radio City! That’s on my bucket list. I have the vinyl from the symphonic collection though, and it’s one of my favorites. I hope you had a great time! The Cat’s Return was my favorite movie until I was about 19, and then I rewatched Nausicäa/Mononoke Hime for the first time since a kid and now those are my favorites. I have the Baron music box 🙈

u/waywarddaughterzzz - Thank you for the really cool postcard! I love how you decorated it. I’m so ready for fall too

Pink fish pouch for trade (and some other craft materials)

Made of 100% cotton and it’s perfect as a lipstick, chapstick, doob tube, or lighter holder! (Do NOT use a lighter while it is inside the pouch)

# 2 shows the pouch holding a Nyx lip IV gloss

# 3 is some .3 mm beading wire. Less than <1 foot used

#4 some various scrap fabric

#5 is some cotton tenugui fabric

#6 is a repost of the cricut knit set I posted previously

Mostly looking for finished objects, but I have a few crafts I’m interested in trying out too that I might be looking for supplies for (mostly print carving)

Thanks for the interest!
