Beach Postcards
Monday, February 4th, 2008One cannot summarize their beach vacation without thinking of beach postcards. For generations visitors to the beach have included as part of their vacation, sending postcards to family, friends, and loved ones at home. Visits to local stores and beach novelty stores for sun tan lotion and other sundries typically include grabbing a few postcards from the rack by the front counter enroute to or from the beach. Snapshots in time, they provide us memories of past fun and relaxation for years to come.
One of my hobbies ( other than making this website :) ) has been to collect beach postcards from around the world. As of today I have approximately 1000 to 1500 of them of various ages and locations. This may seem like alot but is a small amount in comparison to many other serious collectors of postcards.
