Est. 2024 · Reykjavík, Iceland

Postcards
from the edge
of the world.

Celina does not draw the cards. She finds them on her travels and brings only a few home. Each one is chosen, written in ink if you ask, and posted. When a card is gone, it is gone.

Our story

Found on the road, posted by hand.

Kartka is how Celina sends a place to someone. She does not draw the postcards. She collects them - in kiosks, museum shops, railway stations - while travelling, and brings only a few home.

Each card is hand-picked. There are never many in the shop at once. When a card is gone, it is gone, and the next one will have come from somewhere else.

Then she writes. Your words, in ink, in her hand. And she posts it, so it arrives as a letter from the road.

And if you'd rather I wrote it, just tell me what to say.

The process

Four steps, from the road

From a stall in another country to a letterbox. Usually about nine days.

01

Found

Celina collects postcards on her travels - never in bulk, never to order. If it does not earn a place in the bag, it stays on the rack.

02

Chosen

Only a few make it into the shop at any time. That scarcity is the point. She does not restock a sold card.

03

Written

If you have asked us to, your words go on the back in ink. No printed fonts, no stickers. It arrives looking like a letter, because it is one.

04

Posted

Stamped and sent. UK and EU in 5-9 days, worldwide in 8-14.

Complimentary service

We'll write it, and post it for you.

Choose a card she has already found, tell us what you'd like it to say and where it's going. Celina writes it by hand in ink and posts it - so it arrives as a letter, with no price anywhere on it.

  • Up to 240 characters, written in ink in Celina's hand
  • Choose the posting date - Valentine's, a birthday, an anniversary
  • Gift-safe: no invoice, no pricing, nothing that gives you away
  • A photograph of the finished card is emailed to you before it goes

Dziadku,

The light here in February is

the colour you always described.

I found this for you. Thirty-one days

until I'm home.

From the post

What arrives in the post

“

I framed it. That is the honest review - I bought a postcard and then I framed it. It felt chosen, not stocked.

I used the write-it-for-me service for my grandmother's ninetieth. She rang me in tears because it had a stamp from the road and she thought I'd flown there.

Arrived in nine days to Melbourne, in a rigid envelope. Everything about it feels deliberate - as if someone had actually picked it up somewhere.

Notes on the places, the paper, and the long business of posting things.

A kiosk in Vík

Why most of the rack comes home empty, and the one card that didn't.

The route a card actually takes, and why it sometimes goes via Copenhagen.

Why only a few

Keeping the shop small is the whole idea. Here is how a card earns a place.
