what lovely postcards! don’t forget to put a few drops of peppermint in your hot chocolate!
Postcards are some of the greatest things ever. What a fabulous idea :)
oh boy, i love things that are tiny, especially when they involve beautiful photographs! thank you erin + paul!
I am a self-professed paper hoarder. I tried to find a self-help group and all I found was etsy, swap-bot, and flickr groups.
So please add to my collection so I don’t do something dangerous to myself–like visiting Kate’s Paperie.
Best wishes–russ
I love a good postcard! (even better if there is more than one!)
post cards are the greatest! i just started on my holiday set yesterday!
Postscards are always just too good… :)
… I forgot to mention how I like Paul paper’s project “it could be…”
What great cards, and I love see how beautiful melancholy can be.
The only thing better than a lovely set of postcards…is a lovely set of postcards AND a taco. *nods sagely*
Dear Paul,
These postcards are bombastic. Keep rockin’ the 26 cent stamps and mailing these paper postal pieces to the world. I’m so glad my comment might win me a pack of awesome.
Sincerely,
Laura
Oh my, those postcards are so gorgeous, they’ve prompted me to comment (I am horrible with leaving comments so I generally don’t). Fingers crossed!
these are lovely! i would love to own these. i prefer real mail over email - any day! xoLO
P.S. thanks Paul
Oooooh, so pretty! Yay for pretty postcards, and yay for Paul. (I also can’t wait to see the toffee recipes pop up here.)
i’m having the WORST day. i want to kill my clients. winning these beautiful postcards would make today seem worthwhile!!
xo

I loved the interview with Paul Paper in this issue of Mankind Mag. These postcards look absolutely gorgeous & I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed!
I love getting postcards in the mail! I really should mail some out to my friends and family to brighten their day, winning these cards would be a great way to do that, I’d get mail, and then my friends and family would get some too:)
I love postcards. They’re like your almost 5×7 window to happiness, beauty, and humor. Amazing work Paul.
If chosen, I promise to love, hold and frame these beautiful little squares of art goodness.
best
ever
love
and
thanks!
thank you paul!!! lovely postcards!
oh lovely just lovely. how i love thee.
dear paul (and erin): this summer i tried to a friend’s brilliant idea of making my own postcards. since then, i’m addicted to all things NOT hallmark. the postcards are gorgeous. plus, melancholy is such an appropriate word.
Oh, how i love postcards!
These are stunning.
Love love postcards…
these are gorgeous.
& would definitely cheer up a gloomy day like today.
thanks paul!
I dont have a toffee recipe, but I do have a lot of love for postcards and this hobknob recipe….
8oz sr flour
8oz sugar
8oz porridge oats
8oz margarine
1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp bic soda
mix flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan stir in bic soda and add to dry mix, mix well, make smallish balls and put on greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork, 180oc for 15 mins, cool on the tray, you just want them golden in oven not brown.
Yummy!
dear erin & paul, the rain started on october 31st this year and i don’t expect it to stop until around may. if that’s not melancholic i am not sure what is.
love, ~*michelle*~
today is one of “those” days… a sinus headache rendering me unable to do more than work on one thing at a time while wishing I were home with my head on a soft pillow.
Next best thing? gazing at those beautiful postcard images.
Thank you.
to my love,
you tell beautiful stories & inspire me to create wonderful things.
your love
PAUL PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best ever :) :)
yayayayayayayayayay
a haiku:
I collect postcards.
This set would fit in with ease -
it was meant to be.
what lovely images! wow!
Postcards… the joy of my life.
i’ll post them @ posh if i win ;)
Haiku! For you!
____________
snail mail and postcards
go hand in hand like paul p.
and tiffanie tran!
I’ve always collected postcards of great art, so that I can display many different works without taking up too much space. :)
i would like to send love letters with these cards.
I’d be a no good winner, for I believe in sharing your prize, but with the postcards I see above (the moments I see captured in the postcards!), I know I’d just keep them to ms ;)
Such beautiful images.
Strange how everyone suddenly expresses their love for postcards. I’m gonna be frank and say that I don’t like postcards, especially not writing them because there is never enough space to fit all the words I have in my head. I need to learn to shorten my thoughts so they can fit in a small constructed white box on a small postcard. Oh god no, I’m sorry but I can’t do that. But they’re still pretty to look at. I like pretty.
Postcards are a small glimmer of a persons personality. A chance to be a part of a moment that wasn’t yours. Invited, through a postcard to share into another’s moments.
I <3 Postcards.
Toffee has to be gluten, corn, soy, and peanut free so not as exciting as my thoughts about a postcards ability to transform the world, one small 4×6 at a time ;)
Lots of stars and sunshine,
Tanya
Hmmm what to do…
I love those postcards, but what do I have to tell you?
Perhaps, come see my cow fridge over at my blog??
I boiled a tin of condensed milk for several hours until it turned all gooey and caramely … delicious! … almost toffee-ish
Beautiful postcards - I’ll happily donate one to Erin if fate chooses me to win :-)
Am I too late?? Oh this is so cool! xo, Jessie–
These look beautiful!
mmm I love to send a friend a postcard … …
they look lovely, wouldn’t it be nice if were to land on my doorstep? i think so!
Paul Paper’s photography is beautiful and so colourful. These postcards will definitely brighten up anyone’s day.
love me
Am I too late? I hope not because I think Paul Paper’s photography is magic! Here is a poem for him:
Oh Paul Paper
You wonderful photograph maker
Your images are a delight
I want your postcards with all my might.
hehe :)
dear diary. today I made ravioli filled with beetroot and almonds in orange sauce for someone whom I thought I still loved. I wanted to make a meal that would be bright red and orange scented, like my love for him is. he did not notice. he ate and left.
silly me. I will know better next time.
cheers to the lost art of actually writing to people! i’d give each one of my friends one who live all across this fair country so they could write me and tell me all about their lives! i miss them dearly.
