Birch Bay, Washington Postcards: "Birch Bay Washington Postcards
A historical view of Birch Bay, Washington through old postcards.
I would appreciate and suggestion/comments/etc so please feel free to sign my guestbook or email me at birchbay98230@yahoo.com.
Enjoy."
A precise historically authentical description of the area as photographed by Ellis in 30s to 70s. A colletion of postcards which seem not to have been sent. Not used. All reflect vividly and faitfully more than films and other media from those years the atmosphere of the Birch Beach - I rate this excellent.

How to make postcards
How to make postcards
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN POSTCARDS
by Rico Leffanta, Wild Life Photographer
Postcards are fun ~ fun to send, and fun to receive, but never as much fun as when YOU make the postcard!
• Especially now it is affordable! All you need to make great postcards are: postcards, a printer, and a computer with software permitting adjustment of images and text.
If you don't have a scanner to input your own images, you can always take them to a copy shop and get them scanned onto a disk.
There is no need to buy expensive postcard stock , because most of it will smear - if not in your printer, it will smear when it passes through post office sorting machines. So use postcards designed to hold print, e.g., Mead 4x6-inch Plain Index Cards.
A pack of 50-cards cost less than $1 at the stationery department of almost every store in America, so you can afford to send everyone on your list a postcard, and you can afford to co-ordinate the colour of your scanner/computer/printer so each postcard turns out perfectly.
Many printers don't "accept" 4x6 cards, or print flush to the edge of the postcard, but you can usually trick your printer into accepting postcard stock by using the "Label" or "Envelope" setting.
The best way to circumvent a printer not printing flush to the edge of the postcard is to use a snapshot margin, e.g., on a 4x6-inch card, set a .2 upper and .2 lower margin (I use a .3 upper and .3 lower for the address sideof the postcard).
Instructions on how to adjust your image should be available with the "Help" function of your imaging software. However, if you are going to use a .2 margin, remember the size of your image should be 3.6 x 5.6-inches!
Although many image programmes offer a text function, you can usually do a better job of it using the "Word Art" function of Word, because it allows more creative use and positioning of text. To use WordArt, save your image to the Desktop in .pict format at 300 dpi or less.
If you are not familiar with "Word Art", either "Edit
Comment, as my postcard exploration voyage goes on, I have visited a technically perfect site, giving you in-detail and yet fully clear and comprehensible instructions how to make your own postcards - but of course, you cannot find here the postcards themselves apart from somowhat cruel examples with sharks. My dad used to say - you do know what is hunger and war - if he saw these samaple postcards - anyway, the instructions are very useful and what you get is postcard as this should be.
My rating - no material to assess

Old Postcards
Old Postcards the postcards featuring thFire Department Shoe And Leather District, Cincinnati, O."
The Norwood Souvenir Co. Cincinnati, O.
POSTCARD is really lovely - the touch of time and the splendour of fire brigades of the beginning of the 20th centrury, all is here. And as to the other postcards, the collection is yet not large in scale but very enjoyable to browse. My rating here is good and authentical, worth your time viewing the postcards and studying the texts - they are given separately.

(v)oonspell Homepage this is a typical fake postcard site - I was not able to find a single postdard on it let alone useful original links - some text in Spanish and displayed sculls and I would waste time writing on.

Girl_in_the_Woods
Girl_in_the_Woods: "This postcard is one of my favorites. It shows a beautiful girl in the woods curiously looking at an owl. The pink detail given to the girl's dress adds a
sweet touch to the picture.
Bertha once again writes to her dear friend on August 30, 1908. "
This is a small but lovely postcard collection with Postcards showing people and places - all sent to one girl - Would a contemporary lover be able of that kind of unflagging affection and incessnat passion and refined wording of all this? Note the complimentary greeting Darling used in Mexiko, the American girls setting obviously the tone.
I would rate it excellent. a telling sample of time and feeling from the turn of the last century.

chile postcards
chile postcards a small but lovely selection of postcards, the site is more or less of personal kind, showing photos of the webmaster in different periods of his life, beginning with his childhood. This is always telling site but strictly speaking, this is not a site dedicated to the postcard theme. It was enjoyable to visit it, however.
