A Project: Postcards Around the World

{pretty Dublin postcards on sweet succulents!}

Inspired by these post and mail related ideas I shared last Friday, I’m working on a little project of my own, although sort of in reverse.

On my way home from work yesterday, I popped into a shop and picked out a handful of post cards. Five, to be exact. A nice, round number. I settled myself into the couch in front of taped Masterchef episodes and got to work writing little messages.

Five post cards to five family members and friends around the world. My hope is that when my friends and family (and you, too, if you want – more on that at the end of this post!) receive the post cards, they’ll send one back in the mail to me too.

I chose pretty post cards of Dublin doors, pubs and sheep, penned a cheery message and asked for  a post card back.

I’m scheming a cool decorating project when some post cards (fingers crossed!) start coming back. And in the meantime, fun mail surprises for people I love!

Want to be part of the fun? Send me an email (emily@fromchinavillage.com) with your address and I’ll mail you a post card too!

And with that, I’m off for the weekend! I have plans that involve a visit to a convent and hopefully a pretty hike. Have a lovely, relaxing and inspiring weekend!
