About Us
MINIMUM $15 PURCHASE to get special $5 sale price postcards. You can purchase three $5 sale cards to make your $15 total or any combination however you like, but your total must $15.

MINIMUM $25 PURCHASE and you can take advantage of my Paris Blitz offer!
PARIS BLITZ. I've got in a sweet batch of Paris souvenir postcards and I'm hoping they're going to sell like hot crepes:) So here's the deal: With a minimum purchase of $25, you can add one of these special Paris souvenir postcards for just $7!

Could you buy 5 $5 sale cards and add a Paris Blitz card for just $7? Oui, oui!

Along with my Paris souvenir postcards, I've been adding new cards in lots and batches If I listed each card individually, then the price of the cards would be much higher. Only by selling in quantity am I able to offer these cards at these prices. Thank you for understanding -- I hope you'll take advantage of my group bon marche prices!

You'll also see beaucoup des cartes postales listed with "make an offer." Don't be shy. Find out what all my regular customers already know: I'm very generous:)

What goes into the price of a postcard from France?
Consider this: postcard collecting is just as popular of a hobby in France as it is in America. There's a lot of competition for rare cards.
The US dollar is worth about 75 cents compared to the euro!
While in America, the seller incurs the cost of the customer paying with a credit card, French sellers are not so amiable. Along with the price of a card, I have to pay all transaction fees (4-6 percent) for using Paypal.
But many French postcard sellers do not accept Paypal. I have to use the services of a middle man to make my payments for me! Add to that the shipping charges. So yes, French postcards can be "tres cher." But ... while a 72 dpi Web site photo does not do justice to the true clarity and beauty of a real photo postcard, once you're actually holding your item in front of you, you'll see that your genuine, century old antique -- that has been painted or glittered by hand -- offers a slice of history and art that is priceless!


I have been collecting and selling antique French postcards for more than five years. I bought my first batch of 50 postcards from a dealer in Isle sur la Sorgue in southern France in 2003. I have been hooked ever since. I haven't counted every single one, but I have close to 10,000 postcards. As the French would say: that's beaucoup de cartes postales! Most of my cards are pre-1914, from the "golden age" of postcards. But I also love the bright colors and designs of the Art Deco 1920s and 1930s postcards. So please look through my shop and check out these "little Van Goghs" -- precious works of art that deserve to be rediscovered, recycled and loved again!
