Hope everyone is well! Apologies for the delay, but it's been super busy here. Today's featured postcard collection belongs to Patty in California. The sparkly red one celebrating Chinese New Year is from Fiona in Ontario, Canada, while the lovely subtle hand made collage is from Ciarra in Texas. Have a look at the rest of Donna's collection here (on my personal Instagram account) or — if you just want to see the postcards — by doing an Instagram search via #benevolentpostcardsociety.

Today on Instagram
Today's featured collection starts close to home — this postcard was sent by my Mum! It's the Opera House in Orillia, Ontario Canada, and I love the little Canadian flag she's attached to it, too. The lucky recipient was Johanneke in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. See the rest of Johanneke's collection here. You can find all other BPS postcards featured so far on Instagram by doing a search via #benevolentpostcardsociety too.

Today's featured collection of postcards on Instagram belong to Whitney in Tennessee. Shown here is an elephants postcard (originally from the Chicago Natural History Museum) sent by Meghan in Illinois, while the second one from Bianca in New South Wales, Australia, was picked up on holiday in Tanzania — on the back Bianca writes how passing through a tiny town called Dootown, she noticed all the houses had a funny sign out front featuring the word 'doo.' See the rest of Whitney's collection here — a quick search via #benevolentpostcardsociety will find all other BPS postcards featured so far, too.

The Collected BPS
Big wicker chest filled with the collected postcards of about half of the members of the Benevolent Postcard Society project. Still feeling overwhelmed by it all, but beginning to find my way.

Today on Instagram I'm sharing the postcard collection of Becky in Arizona. Shown here is a fantastic message in a bottle postcard, hand made by Marianne and daughter Abby in Maine and actually mailed in the bottle. If there's anything the BPS project has taught me, it's to never underestimate what postal services all over the world will send! To see the rest of Becky's postcards, you can follow me on Instagram here — or you can just do a quick search under #benevolentpostcardsociety if you prefer not to follow me directly (it's set up as my personal Instagram account). Hope you enjoy them.

The BPS on Instagram
I'm very excited to tell you about the BPS on Instagram! Every week I'll be sharing the collection of an individual BPS member, so you'll be able to see the amazing variety of postcards we all sent to each other over the duration of the project. Today I'm kicking things off with all the postcards sent to Rachael in California. You can follow me on Instagram here — or you can just do a quick search under #benevolentpostcardsociety or #bps if you prefer not to follow me directly (it's set up as my personal Instagram account). Hope to see you there!
