Two Day Bonanza!

I had 19 wonderful cards in my mailbox, from yesterday and today! 
So I guess this also means I'm caught up again! :)



Cavallini parrot card from the US.




State and City card from California.




A girl in old fashioned bathing costume from Russia.




From Japan, a great drawing of two birds snuggling on top of the gutter!




Cavallini Valentine's card from the US.



A wonderful shot of a stork's nest from the Ukraine!

The Barong Dance in Jakarta, Indonesia.




Vintage reprint Valentine's card from the US.

Weekend Roundup

Still sick, but slowly getting better. Here's the mail from the weekend!


From Malaysia, "kampong" means "village".




A map card of Fes, Morocco!




A new addition to my Inge Look Grannies collection from Finland - I love it!




A 3-D card from Holland; she mailed it in an envelope because she said that these kinds of cards get stolen frequently.

What a week.

Unfortunately, I have been very sick all week with a nasty head cold.
It's now Friday, and I made my way up to my studio to post these cards, else someone may think I have given up completely! Now I will make my way back down to my bed and rest.


Lovely arrangement of birch logs and flowers from Belarus.




Traditional Russian clothing by Russian artist, Nina Panasenko.




From the US, I guess this can apply to anyone!




Hersbruck, Germany; see the stork and nest on top?




This the 3rd one of this card I have received, but still a lovely picture of a lighthouse in Russia!




The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse being moved inland in 1999, in North Carolina, US.




A very fun postcard from Russia; this is from a series and I have one other card from this series.




Beautiful lighthouse and coastline from Norway.




Rotterdam, Holland




From Russia; the saying is translated as "Don't go to sleep, you might freeze!"

Saturday's Mail

What a beautiful day today! 
And I was able to spend an hour in the hammock my husband bought me for Christmas! 
Enjoy the postcards! :)


A beautiful shot of Tampa Bay, Florida.




Festas da Cidade, a festival honoring a saint, in Portugal.




A subway map postcard from Munich, Germany.




A Cavallini card, with a vintage image.




This is my favorite!!!! I had made some art postcards a week or so ago (see my other blog for details) and mailed one to my sweet friend Kikie in Arizona. To thank me, he made this and sent it to me; he was working at the construction site at his church, and took a piece of cardboard, added some duct tape to stiffen it, then adhered part of the CAUTION tape. He wrote me a message on the back. This is probably one of the cleverest postcards I've ever received!!  :)
