Long gone are the days when we took simple pleasure in sending and receiving postcards of the places we’ve traveled to and love. Now, in this Instagram, Facebook, Twitter world, we can share our memories in an instant with our friends and loved ones. But what of that timeless act of taking ink to paper and sharing long-form? Here are some great images of old postcards from Oregon that are sure to conjure up fond memories.

We thought these images really captured that vintage, old-school feel of a classic postcard. But by all means, if you’ve got a shoebox stuffed way back in the closet filled with some, please snap a pic and share with the rest of us!
