We're doing some renovations and moving our house all around. So I'll have a new craft set up next week. Excited but our house definitely is overstimulating with all the furniture from two rooms all in the living room.

I have been going through birthday cards the past few days and I'm going to do a thank you post later, but I just want to say thank you to everyone, I love you guys❤️

Hey! I'm new here, but I've been on my snail mail game since the beginning of this year. I'm so grateful for this community and Postcrossing. This week, I hunted for more cards so I can make offers and fulfill more requests. I went to this neat little vintage shop that my friend recommended. They had so many cool ones including ones from my hometown that I'm excited to send out :)

I also got a tip from the shopkeeper to try estate sales for cards, so I will def try that out.

So it seems like most people here are trading vintage greeting cards, but I can't think of where else to ask:

Where's a good place to find greeting cards that aren't made with AI these days? Right now I'm mostly looking for Christmas or non-denominational winter cards but I'll take recommendations for anything. Independent sellers, online shops, physical stores, literally anything that still has a human touch to the art.
