The weather's beautiful, Wish you were here

A few days ago, I posted what are undoubtedly the strangest items yet to find their way to my Etsy shop:
Vintage dead duck postcards

Vintage dead deer postcards

You know, normally postcards feature glossy photos of attractive local sights, inviting resorts, or beautiful views. Rarely do you find postcards featuring Dead Animals and the People Who Killed Them. It might make sense if I'd found these in some hunting lodge in Minnesota, but they came from a drugstore in a small Midwestern town. Back in 2005, I bought a vintage wooden card display from a drugstore in Missouri, and its contents included boxes of vintage wrapping paper, greeting cards, and these bizarre postcards. I've held onto them for 6 years now and finally decided it was time to let them go to someone who can appreciate their...um...uniqueness.

So, if you're in the market for some Dead Animal postcards, you know where to find them. While you're there, check out the other new stuff I've listed lately! There's some cool vintage wrapping paper that also came with that card display, but is slightly different in that it features no slain furry woodland creatures. If you like that kind of boring thing.

  1. Heidi, did you see I featured one of your price sets on a treasury? Of course I didn't get on the front page but hope I got some people to view your stuff. I think i have gotten more traffic to mine and a few sales from making a comment to the front page ones. Good luck with the postcards, you're right they are really uh unique!
