I did a little cleaning down in the lounge at thought I'd post a photo of my postcard collection. I don't have a huge collection by a long shot but I do have a good amount. I saved this vintage postcard display rack from going into the dumpster and it has worked out great. It sits in a far off corner and blends into the decor with the mood lighting on. The best part is that friends can browse through the postcards. They get a kick out of seeing a mug or a pack of matches in the collection and then finding the postcard from the same restaurant on the display rack. The rack even holds my vintage travel brochures. It holds a ton of cards, revolves and categorizes my cards well and doesn't take up much room. |

wow - your room looks like a record store. Do you ever feel like you have to stop and pay when you take a record outside the room? Racks are a cool way to display your postcards! (they also make it look like they are for sale!) |

Wow...these displays are great. I used to have one of those post card racks, but didn't keep it when I moved...bummer, could use it now. I agree about the "record store" the colors are beautiful. I like that strip molding...may try that for my Cocktail books. :) |

yea ,you can get strip molding at any K-mart or Low's kind of store. But try the goodwills and salv/army first always have cheap goods.. The colored wax are old records i find at junk sales and so on. so i glued them together and when the sun shines through the window it has a stained glass look... I'm working on my shrunken head display (yea a real one) want to have a Green light under him to cast off a creepy effect at night.. most of my friends , well really all of them tell me my house looks like the Munsters or Addams family..kind of neat or have I lost my Mind?????? |

Thanks for posting your pics! It makes me realize how paltry my vinyl collection is. I have about 1300 records total and I spend a lot of time looking for more. I guess I need to find better places to shop. :) |
