As fans of letter writing we love getting mail of any kind — letters, notes, secret messages, postcards. Doesn’t matter! A frequent complaint is that we send a lot of letters out but don’t always get many letters back.
Keith and Nancy Stubblefield found an interesting way to get mail. On their excursions around the country and the world they have hidden postcards with instructions that when someone finds the card they are to write something on the back and send it to the address provided.
Their web site, Postcards from Strangers, has the collection of cards they have received. Go check it out and tell them how fabulous you think they are. Let it inspire you to go out and do some epistolary madness of your own!
What an awesome idea! Thanks for the link!
This is a wonderful story! I’m going to read all the postcards during lunch today. Thank you Wendy!

Inspiring!!! Here’s two people who were crazy enough to actually carry it out!
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing this link. I did this once in New Zealand. I handed my seat partner on my three-day bus tour a postcard and told her to write me and then stick it in the post box. Too fun.
