[Request] Housewarming Cards [USA]

Hello, everybody! On the encouragement of u/Bananas3706 I am making my very first request in this community. I'm going to be moving very soon to a new apartment, and I would LOVE to receive some mail to inaugurate the new mail box! Please comment and/or DM me, and I can send you the new address.

If you're wondering about what to write - tell me about yourself, or your pets, or your job. I've been feeling a bit emotional about this move, I'm hoping to be in this new place for a while, until life circumstances change, and while it's a lovely space, I just never thought I'd be at this point in my life at this age, if that makes sense? So I'd appreciate any life advice that you might have, regarding not feeling like you've hit the milestones that you're supposed to have at a particular age. 💜

As for picking a card, I have a pinned post on my profile with my interests, but I'd be happy to receive anything sent with love.

Thanks so much ☺️

[Thank You] Post-trip thank yous (July 2026)

I returned home from my travels a few days ago, and while the jet lag still has me as more or less a zombie and not at my most coherent, I wanted to just thank the people whose mail I received while I was gone so that their flairs can be updated. Hence, this post (like all my thank yous, really) will be short and sweet; replies will be coming via the postal service and/or DM! Planning to move apartments in the next couple of weeks so things are about to get really hectic but can't wait to inaugurate my new mailbox :) (also, please don't mail me anything this month until I get my new address! Thank you all so much!)

Went to the general post office yesterday

Visiting my parents and planning on sending lots of mail from here! It's been so much fun to use a whole new set of stamps ☺️

[Offer] Postcards from my India trip [IN to WW]

I'm going to be in India for the next month :) For those of you who don't know, my family is Indian, and this is a trip I'm making to support my parents (and, granted, to eat the tastiest food in the world) - and what better way to decompress than by writing postcards and using fun new stamps! (new to me, at least). This time, I've decided to go with a Google form - please fill it out if you'd like to receive a card written during my time in India (cannot guarantee whether it will reach you in 15 days or 50, though), and comment any emoji when you're done!

​

Here's the link: https://forms.gle/petYR4CBynGuCPwy7

​

Please only fill out the form if you are willing to write a very brief thank-you post. Incomplete form entries will not receive a card. Remember to include your country in your address! Open to everyone whose country can receive mail from India ☺️

[Offer] Touristy Chicago postcards [US]

I'm in Chicago! Please comment if you'd like a touristy Chicago postcard, and I'll tell you about what I've been up to here :) I sadly only have US stamps with me, so this will be a US-only offer. I've got 6 cards - please be willing to write a thank you post! I'll check this in a few hours and pick 6 names randomly, and DM you for a good address.

EDIT: messaged a few of you!

[Offer] Four more handmade cards (2 US flag, 2 miscellaneous) [US to WW]

I have 4 more handmade stamp art cards I wanted to offer up - 2 which are collages of US flags/vaguely patriotic things, plus 1 stylized mailbox and 1 made with a sheet of old cancelled blue Swiss stamps. If you would like to claim one, please be willing to write a thank you post! If you claimed any from the first set of flag cards I offered, I'd request you sit this one out so I can share these with more people :)

To claim, please comment with a prompt and whether you'd like stamp math or a regular forever stamp.

[Offer] Handmade American flag stamp postcards [US to US/WW]

Hello! Feeling a little inexplicably down and I think writing some cards might make me feel better. I had a TON of cancelled stamps with American flags on them and since I mostly don't collect those, I tried my hand at making amateur stamp collages which I stuck to blank 4x6 postcards. I'd love to share them with anyone who might be interested! Please comment if you'd like one, and with a prompt, and whether you'd like stamp math or a forever stamp from my Boston Expo stash. I will DM the first 6 people to respond to the post (unless I already have your address). (I won't be replying to stray DMs!) All I ask is that you be willing to write a very brief thank you post at some point.

FYI I think I'll put these in an envelope because I am not sure what the sorting machines will do to the cards otherwise.

EDIT: tried putting a photo of the cards on imgur in case you're curious to see how they came out. As you can see I have 6 of them! https://imgur.com/a/S4PiAUT

[Thank You] May 2026 part 2

Looks like all the cards for the second half of May are in - it's been a bit of a rough time personally (and professionally - sighs in end-semester grading) but I did get to go to the Boston Stamp expo for a couple of days and even meet some of the lovely folks in this group, in person!

Thank you for helping me get through this month -

Boston RAoC meet-ups?

Hello, hello! I just got to Boston today and will be at the expo until Tuesday. Are there any meet-ups happening? Would anyone like to grab coffee or a meal at some point? (apologies if this was discussed already!)

It's that time of year when I would like to do anything but my grading. So here I am with an offer ☺️

I am doing a broad offer this time, from my personal assortment of cards. Open to anyone and everyone (as long as your country allows mail from the United States)! I only ask that you be willing to write a brief thank-you post.

If interested, please post

  2. a prompt for me.

I will DM you for your address.

Some cards I have include :

- women in art

- illustrated lemon cards

- Agatha Christie cards

- cats (from a museum collection)

- astronomy

- touristy NYC cards

For the sake of my wallet I will probably cap this at 20 or so cards. Don't forget to comment here with the required information - I will not be responding to stray DMs!
