I love all the great pattern and color in these old postcards so I made them into place cards with Japanese masking tape. See full article here. If you don't have any older relatives with vintage post cards (luckily I inherited a huge stash from a great aunt) try Etsy , Ebay or local antique shops. They are usually quite cheap and sometimes have never been used.
