About Us
I am excited to bring you A Memory In Time II. This shop is an extension of my shop on Rubylane titled A Memory In Time, but it will specialize in just postcards, art, and images that are reproduced. This shop will offer some original postcards so that you can decorate your home with some of the most wonderful art work of the 1900's! In addition to original postcards, I am also offering you an opportunity to purchase images on large canvases. Framed or unframed. Or in some instances, you can purchase just the image for you to print, frame, reproduce, enlarge or create your own creative works of art with! That means when you get a crafty idea you can often have the image within 24 hours! A Memory In Time has one of the nicest inventories of vintage postcards on Rubylane and now you get to pick out some of my images that are worthy of reproducing and get them emailed to you in a high quality resolution.

Most people do not realize that Postcard Collecting is the 3rd most popular collectible worldwide, falling behind coins and stamps.

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR POSTCARDS?

Unlike the first two collectible hobbies, postcards have images that are often reproduced and used on products we use today. These images can be found on things from wrapping papers & greeting cards to scrapbooking products and fabrics. One of our customers even sells chocolate bar greeting cards! They use images from old postcards, embellish them and wrap them around wonderful Belgium chocolate. YUM!

However, most collectors simply enjoy their postcards for their artistic value. They are mini-art for the crafter, graphic artist, or collector. Some collectors place their cards in acid free safe binders while others find ways to display their collection. You can frame them or put them in hard sleeves and display them around your other favorite collectibles or Antiques. Place them in a protective sleeve and put them under glass on a coffee table. Postcards are also a great way to decorate for a holiday. A bonus is that unlike most collections or decorations, storage space is minimal with postcards.

POSTCARDS AS GIFTS

The very broad subject appeal that makes them such a popular collectible is what makes them a great gift idea. Many of my customers have discovered that giving an old postcard can be as fun as collecting them and they can fit with any budget. Slip them inside a card, frame them, or put them in a hard sleeve with a refrigerator magnet. Pick something that reminds you of that person or a universal holiday card to display like Santa Claus. Postcard collecting is not only broad in topics, it crosses all generations. Young children to the elderly all enjoy the beauty and historic value of these cards. Most of these postcards are nearly 100 years old. Their is something truly amazing about their beauty and longevity. Paper cards lasting 100 years!

INVENTORY

I have over 14,000 postcards and unfortunately listing them all is cost prohibitive. I have small town views, city views, foreign views, artist signed, humorous, holiday and topical cards. If you need help finding a special card - just e-mail me. If I don't have it, I have other dealers I can contact in your hunt.
