National
Postcard
Week 2021
“When I make a mistake, it’s a beaut,” said Fiorello La Guardia.
We made a hash of our post on National Postcard Week last week. We should have written the following: It’s that time of year again! National Postcard Week is May 2-8, 2021, a time when so many of us turn on our creative selves to make a postcard in celebration. It’s easy enough — the card can be between 3½ x 5½ inches to 4 x 6 inches, show this year’s date, and should be printed on card stock. Then mail ’em to your fellow collectors! Want to swap your card with others? Send an email with your name and address to Demaris Swint at ezrestexas@aol.com requesting to be put on the swap list with your preference for receiving cards naked with a stamp or in an envelope. Making more than 1 card? Include that information. And be sure to send a card to Barr’s Postcard News and Ephemera Magazine, P.O. Box 720, Vinton, Iowa 51239-0720 because they’re going to show the cards in one of their May issues. Indicate whether you want to trade or sell and the price.
