This page includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If your questions are not answered here, please contact us.

How old are your Victorian postcards?

Each vintage postcard is a different age. Most are circa 1910 - some earlier and some slightly later. If I know the exact age of the postcard, I mark it on the back of the greeting card. If I don't know the exact age, I simply mark it circa 1910.

Why send a handmade greeting card?

These handmade greeting cards are more than just a greeting card - they are a gift. The vintage postcard is easily removed from the greeting card and can be saved as a reminder of that special person. I like to decorate with these unique postcards and frame them as a wall decoration or a shelf decoration.

What better way to tell someone you care than by sending them a one-of-a-kind handmade greeting card!

Are all the greeting cards the same price?

Yes, all our handmade greeting cards are $5.97.

Are the greeting cards made in the United States?

Yes, they are all made by me in Lakeway, Texas.

Are the cards really handmade?

Absolutely! I make each greeting card by hand.

Do these handmade cards smell like smoke?

No. My home is both smoke free and animal free, so the paper items do not smell from smoke or animals.

We will refund the purchase price or exchange them, whichever you prefer. Original shipping fees and PayPal fees are non-refundable. All returns must be accompanied by the receipt.

My product was damaged during shipment. What do I do?

If an insured item is damaged during shipment, contact us immediately and we will send you the insurance receipt. Simply take the item to the USPS to file a claim. Make sure to take along the insurance receipt and the packaging materials.

If you are not sure what to do, simply contact us. Do NOT send back a damaged item because that will void the insurance. Instead, you must file an insurance claim as soon as possible.

If your insured item never arrives and you believe it was lost in the mail, please contact us. We will send you your insurance receipt, and you can take it to the USPS to file a claim.

If your item was not insured and it arrives damaged or is lost in the mail, there is no way to recoup your expenses. Just remember, insurance is optional, but recommended.
