Hi, thanks for viewing my profile!

My pride and joy is my Elvis Presley postcard collection. I am ALWAYS looking for new Elvis cards! http://www.flickr.com/photos/akaroxy2/sets/72157648766817757/

Also seeking new British Royalty / Queen Elizabeth II:

I live in the capital city of Canada and my hobbies include crochet, knitting, Lego, music, and eating (way too much) Mexican food!

I love tourist/view cards. The only thing I don't care for is animal cards. I really do appreciate all cards I receive. I love a decorated backside (I'm addicted to washi tape!) and a nice message as much as the visual on the front!

Besides Elvis and Queen Elizabeth I love and collect:

- profanity : https://flickr.com/photos/akaroxy2/albums/72177720307746900

- 60s/70s motels (the tackier, more outdated the decor and signs the better!) : https://www.flickr.com/photos/akaroxy2/albums/72157645293504595

You can see my entire postcard collection at: https://flickr.com/photos/akaroxy2/albums

My favourites here are cards I would like to have in my collection.

I hope the above didn't sound demanding. All I really hope is that the card represents YOU - your likes, your town, your hobbies, etc. They can be prepaid, new, vintage, or those you've made... I'm just happy to be a part of this great project and will love any card sent my way!

Do you remember the first postcard you ever got? Mine was from my great aunt & uncle from Florida
