The Thousand Postcard Project is the name of a challenge my husband set me in 2017. He found a box of 1000 vintage postcards on Ebay, and challenged me to send all of them within a year. Anywhere in the world, to anyone who wanted one. 

I made it - just - putting the last of the postcards into a city post-box mid-morning on 31 December, 2017. 

This started as a fun challenge, but turned into a labour of love, and it continues to astound me the impact that these tiny, often ugly, missives have had as they make their way around the world. 

The Thousand Postcard Project itself has finished, but if you'd like to know more about it or my other mail projects, here are some links for you:
