This is from Esther, who lives in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Esther has a new puppy! She’s an Australian Labradoodle.
This multi-view postcard from the Czech Republic brings me the following: “I wish to you good and strong health and good mood!” She also includes an old Wallachian quote: After all things is nothing, only after bees is honey.”
This is from Sara, who obtained this postcard through a stationary subscription she received as a present. I was intrigued by the idea of a stationary subscription, so I looked into it myself. And may I say that in the video I watched, one of the women had a very interesting hair style. And now I’ve just run deep into a rabbit hole because apparently there is more than one company that has stationary subscriptions. If someone wants to spend an overly large amount of money on a gift subscription for me, I liked Nicely Noted the best.
From Valerie who is retired from the Red Cross, and is really ready for spring! Apparently, they still have snow on the ground.
My first Postcrossing postcards in months and they both arrive on the same day. I send two postcards per week (Tuesday and Thursday) so it’s funny to me that so many return postcards arrive on the same day.
From Germany, this postcard is quite popular on Postcrossing, so says its sender. I can see why. Those are some impressive mailboxes.
This is from Chicago, from a couple who moved from Siberia in Russia. They tell me that they visited Portland a few years ago and enjoyed themselves.
These are both from regular commenter Sara who visited both these places. One she visited because she’s good about taking trips in her state of residence. The other she visited because she just turned 40 and celebrated it with Harry Potter!
This arrived today. Each of these beautiful scenes are “wraps” for uility boxes in Sara’s neighborhood. I hope to see them this summer in person. My favorite in this series is the photo booth one.
Astute readers might have noticed that my Postcrossing postcards have not been coming from far-flung countries. That’s because I took a haitus from Postcrossing and when I started up again, I was in a postcard deficit. I had received more than I sent. So I had to send a few without getting any in return. I’ve evened everything up and new postcards from people I don’t know should be arriving soon.
Favorite blog Pike Schemes sent me their 2014 Holiday Card. As usual, I love all the pictures. Also, I notice that this year there are no friends in the pictures, only the Pike Schemers themselves. Interesting.
