pdxcc

pdxcc stands for the portland correspondence collective that meets at the iprc (lots of initials, i know) which stands for independent publishing resource center.

because who doesn't love to receive beautiful letters in the mail?  and where else can you get together with a truly interesting group of people, i.e. grown adults, who trade stamps around the tables as excitedly as kids trade stickers?!

everyone shares paper and envelopes and there are stamps in every shape and size...from cuba, to vintage and everything in between.

if you choose you can sign up for the theme letter of the month to correspond with those on the list.  or you can just craft letters of your own.  some members even write regularly to people all over the world.

it's refreshing to slow down, think, and put pen to paper. 

and encouraging that it's not a lost art!

they like gathering in person, but their favorite phrase with one another?  "see you in the mail".

i would write more, but i need to go the post office to get stamps for the postcards i just designed.

happy writing...
