The summer travel season is in full swing, and this clever new postcard collection from Designs by Val is sure to bring a bit of wanderlust to those of us who have travel on our minds at this, or any, time of the year.

The City Notecards collection was inspired by Valerie from Designs by Val’s love of travel and the handwritten hello. The vintage airmail-style designs in the collection feature five cities that have significant meaning for Valerie : San Francisco is a city very close to home because of family; New York was the first city that Valerie officially traveled on her own; Paris is where she went to visit an old friend and to experience beautiful gardens, art, architecture, French pastries & macarons, and all sorts of additional Parisian loveliness; London is her perfect place to end a month of traveling; and Vancouver is her beautiful hometown.

All of the notecards are printed locally on 100% post-consumer recycled fiber, and Valerie hopes to add many more cities to the collection in the future.
