perhaps it’s cliche but I love postcards. I like to frame them and build a wall dedicated to the places I went (my favorite one is a watercolor of Place du Tertre in Montmartre <3)

I started collecting postcards a couple of years ago, and I now have two photo albums filled with them! They’re from all over and many of them are gifts from others as well. I also tend to use them as wall decor! My favorites are all pieces from art history—one of my favorite disciplines of study as both an artist and a historian ;) most bookstores sell them, especially used bookstores! They’re a really fun item to collect as they each hold geographical and contextual significance in different ways!

Started collecting coasters with my roommate back in Boston 5 or 6 years ago and have ones from all over like Portland, Montreal, Barcelona and Japan. My favorite custom coasters from different places like local spots around nyc or wherever.
I added postcards a couple years, some are related to travel but a lot of them are from different art museums I go to. I usually go to the museum store after I’m done and pick out a couple paintings or pictures of installations I really liked.
I put a lot of them on this cork board in my apartment and I like it a lot because most have a good story behind them.

I find so many beautiful postcards everywhere I go so I thought why don’t I just start a postcard collection as a hobby this year and it’ll be a good excuse to visit as many new bookstores as possible

when you walk around try to pay attention to your surroundings and take notes of what you see on a specific notebook. For example yesterday I saw: a spider eating a bug, a tiny black and white bird on the sidewalk, a hawk flying, a yellow flower I’ve never seen before, a red poppy, a woman with bright cherry hair, and a shoe-shaped cloud. It’s good exercise for the writers out there

one of my favourite ways to spend time is going to poetry foundation’s website and just clicking on anything - besides poetry, they have lots of resources and essays about poets or particular movements. I discovered so many great things doing this
