I was browsing and came across this interesting blog by a women named Christine H. She enjoys antique postcards that preserve evidence of everyday life and celebrations of people and past times. I also enjoy old textured tactile objects. I found her explorations of post cards interesting and I enjoyed the fact that she posted cards that were requested by other people and she posts one everyday.
Christine seems to be a free open minded spirit wanting to connect with people through her collections of antique postcards. From my understanding it appears that she only posts already existing postcards that have not been altered in any way. She may do collage work on her free time since her blog itself seems very expressive and she does not seem concerned with little details but seems to be ok with mess and imperfections. She may collect to expand her social life as a way to communicate. She seems to collect to preserve the past and learn history in the process.
These items can be categorized in many ways. It could be organized through pictures, year, size, paper stock, color or black and white images, hand written type or calligraphy, ink or pencil, stamps, collections from other people, personal interest etc. I enjoyed looking at this blog and got more familiar with history through imagery.
