Bonjour! I’m celebrating my blog’s first anniversary this week! 🎉
I can’t believe it’s been one year since I hit the publish button on my first post titled delightfully by default, The Journey Begins in 2018.
To continue the journey theme, I’m excited to announce a new series: Wednesday Postcard! I hope these postcards will make you want to revisit a favorite vacation spot or to embark on a journey to the destination of your dreams!
Each week, I’ll share a picture postcard from my personal collection of France and other Francophone regions, plus a few surprises.
Over the years, I have accumulated about two hundred postcards from around the world, which I’ve either purchased from my local antique shops or received from thoughtful jet-setting family and friends who know I collect them. When I travel, I also like to send myself a carte postale just for fun!
Bonjour: A Francophile Blog 
Fabulous! I can’t wait to see them each week.
Cheers,
Carolyn

What a great idea. And love that you actually send a card to yourself when you travel — that is such a great idea. Although I travel very little, if I remember, I’m going to do that too in any future travel.
I send postcards to people but. never receive any in return. I tend to send them as a surprise with a nice positive note for the receiver. The postcards I use are my own photographs which I’ve had printed as postcards.

Hi Diane, I think it’s a kind and thoughtful touch to send postcards with photographs you’ve taken – what a unique and special gift for your recipients! I’m curious: How do you print them and make them into postcards? Do you DIY or go to a printer?
I once considered using TouchNote (dot) com, where you can send a photo from your phone and send it as a postcard. But then the message you provide would be “typed” out. Yes, it’d be efficient, but defeats the purpose of getting a postcard, which IMHO is to provide a personal touch with handwritten notes, which are becoming rare. I’ve heard that some schools have even stopped teaching cursive, which is sad to me!
Thanks so much for writing.
