I am a retired librarian. I participate in arts advocacy in my small city of 16,000 people. I am married with two grown children and love to do day trips and travel with my husband. I am also an artist doing printmaking at a nearby studio.

Easthampton Massachusetts is a great place to live. Small enough so that you can get involved with local activities and make a difference and big enough to have a lot going on. We are an old mill town. The mills are being revitalized as apartments, galleries, offices, breweries, cafés, restaurants and artist studios. We are also close to farms, orchards and fields, good hiking spots and many ponds and rivers.

I would love to hear your ideas about building community and showing compassion to your fellow human beings. I am thinking if doing an art project with the cards I have received.

I would love postcards of interesting people, local art, local scenes, food, flowers, animals, birds, maps, scenery, and tourist spots. I would like humorous cards and interesting stamps. Tell me something about yourself and where you live.

I would especially like shaped cards. I know they are scarce and harder to find. If you send one to me, you will get a HUGE thanks. I have a few in stock I can send out though I do like to save some for myself.

I try to scan my cards before I mail them. If you are able to do the same, I'd appreciate it. Many thanks! I try to use interesting stamps but it is often difficult using an assortment because of size of the postcard.
