I had an idea to mail
handmade postcards
handmade postcards
through the
U.S. Postal Service,

I was afraid to send such delicate, beautiful,
handprinted (some with real 22K gold)
without envelopes through the mail.
What if the recipients never received them?
What if the cards were damaged along the way?
What if they were lost?
What if the recipients threw them in the trash?

babies (yes, infants and toddlers) were
sent through the
in the early 1900's.
