Postcards from Maine: The Way Life Should Be

Maine: The way life should be - postcard

Eeny, meany, miny, moe … With nearly 3,000 vanity license plates photos, what’s the best way to choose only 12 to appear on a new Maine postcard? By making two postcards, of course! But that’s another blog post.

This postcard is inspired by all the best that Maine has to offer: camp, loons, lobster, moose, chowder, hockey, lighthouses, wicked good humor, and more … that is, if you can decipher these license plates.

If you like this postcard, please do just that — give it a Like, Share, Tweet, Digg, G+ or email it to a friend. Currently these postcards are in limited supply, but with enough interest I’d like to place them into stores across Maine.

For more information or if you’d like me to send you a postcard — or surprise your license-plate-loving-friend with one — send me an email with the address to: myplate@themaineplate.com.
