Have you ever read a vintage love letter and wondered about the story? Liz Maguire certainly did.

Here’s her story about opening the Little Free Mailbox on World Postcard Day and how it’s gone so far. This one brings a lot of joy to our postcard community; and it once again shows us that postcards connect people.
