Description:
One per state please. I am Colorado so that is taken. This is a swap for five partners, each that will send a state flower postcard. This way you state collection can gain some interesting cards. Each card to be sent naked or in an envy. If you partner does not mind a clean used card, then that can be sent. Make sure their profile specifically says they will take vintage or older cards. If you want to also, you can mention in the comments that you are willing to take a clean used card for this swap. I wish I could raise the partner amount, because I am missing a lot of state flowers. 4.8 rating please, newbies welcome. I am giving a five days, that way you have some time to find some flower cards, if need be. Yet the time is quick so the next swap can be started soon after. Handmade only if you have the words State Flower and your state is named as well as the flower. Store bought cards, preferred and no ad cards at all. I want to make the swap of State -----'s so I will be starting a few more. But I think I will space them out, so everyone is not having to send out five cards every three days. Next will be the state animal, the state capitol, the state flag, if I can find some state birds, and state songs.

I'm in Texas so I guess that means Texas is taken?

I don't mind receiving clean, used cards and vintage/old cards. I prefer store bought rather then handmade.

I do not mind clean vintage used cards either.

As long as there are not tears where the stamp was, it can be missing the stamp if it is used.

Maryland Black Eyed Susans... I don't mind handmade, but I'd rather not have used! :)

I wish I could join this but I have no idea where I could buy postcards with my state flower on them. I need to get out somewhere I can buy postcards from my state. Anyone have any ideas? I live in Mass Thanks

You can buy post cards a pharmacy's, but mine has none with state flowers. :/ need to look for somewhere else that sells them.

Do you have a Hallmark by you? All of the Hallmarks around here (MD) have rounders full of city and state cards.

I'm in Mississippi so I guess it's taken now! I'm headed out postcard shopping! I am also willing to receive vintage postcards as long as they are in good shape!

Sorry for bouncing! I've looked high and low for postcards with the state flower, I had a pretty hard time even finding postcards. The pharmacy near my house that I thought had them, didn't. The man working there told me they stopped selling them years ago.

Love's and Flying J gas stations usually have a variety of postcards from the state that they are located in. The 3 Wal Marts near me sell post cards and a walgreens I visited in Gatlinburg, TN carried postcards although the one I go to here in MS doesn't. Hope this helps :)

Are we suppose to write a note on the card to our partners or just leave it blank but for the address and swap name and sender name?

fawnscrafts 03/16/2011 #

If the postcard is new write not on it and send naked is fine.

If it is vintage used card, of course it will need to be put in an envelop, and a small note would be nice.

Since I collect cards, vintage state flower cards are my favorite. And ironically, used are a bigger favorite over unused of vintage

If I get those I am a happy camper.

If not I still like to get flower cards, so I am still happy. Not camping, but motel rooming. (LOL)
