I love all things New York City. Especially vintage New York City. So when I ordered a tote bag (have you seen the Strand bookstore's tote bags? Perfection. Awesome-ness in the form of a bag. I own waaaaaaaay too many) and got this book of postcards for free with my order, I was pretty enthused.
But is a book of postcards the most useful thing? Once you've flipped through it a couple of times you've kind of finished "reading" it. You don't really want to rip some out and mail them (first, I usually send postcards from a place I'm actually AT, and second, I don't want to ruin the poor little book!) and so it sits in its virgin state, gathering dust.
I finally was able to pull off this particular piece of Velcro Clutter and it's going into my garage sale (held in May -- so it's not going to be in the house too long) bin.
Goodbye, postcards! To know you was to love you.
Those ARE great tote bags--love the bright prints. I was so proud today, when someone offered me a free tote bag and I said, "it's okay, I don't need one". Progress! :)
ReplyDeleteEmilie -- you are so good! I CANNOT resist them; even when I know I won't use it. For instance the other day a local store was giving out recycled shopping bags and I HAD TO HAVE ONE. Never mind that I already have some bags for groceries. I gave it to my mom.....who will definitely use it....but I have a PROBLEM! :)
