Postcards Past & Travel Tales

Nostalgia is finding value within the little moments and our larger memories. As a member of the Photomyne family, we know the past holds a special place in your heart, and we welcome you to our weekly newsletter of nostalgic photos.

In an age before instant messages and social feeds, postcards were our way of saying, I’m thinking of you from somewhere far away. Whether scribbled from a sunlit beach or a bustling city street, each one carried not just a scene, but a story. The joy of choosing just the right card, finding a postage stamp, and imagining the recipient’s smile made every postcard a small act of connection.

Taped to fridge doors or tucked into boxes, those tiny rectangles of memory still hold big emotions. They remind us of the places we’ve wandered, the people we’ve missed, and the effort it took to pause and put pen to paper. In just a few words, postcards captured whole chapters of our lives. They were proof that even when we traveled far, our hearts stayed close to home.
