Postcards: 3/30 - 4/7: Part Two

The second part to my 3/30-4/7 post. You can see the first part directly below this one.


Malaysia

Matthew sent me these in a private swap. Isn't the orangutan adorable?!



Romania

Daniela sent me these cards. I love astronomy, so I had to have the Galileo card. I chose the photo of Queen Elizabeth because royalty interests me and because I think her outfit (circa 1885) is pretty neat!



Taiwan

Jennifer sent the beautiful architecture card. How fitting that she says she's an architectural student!
Yi-Ju sent this card through the North America -> World RR. It shows the city of Kaohsiung.



Ukraine

Masha sent the flag card. She says the colors represent the colors of the sky and golden fields. The emblem in the center is a trident that's thought to represent the division of the world into three spheres: the Earthly, the celestial, and the spiritual, as well as the union of air, water, and Earth. Pretty neat!
Iana sent the beautiful autumn card. My favorite season!



France/Saudi Arabia

I had participated in Stephanie's recipe notebook and she sent the coffee card as a thank you.
Gosia in Italy sent me this rare Saudi Arabia card



China/Russia

I got the cute cat card from China
Boris from Russia sent the card of astronaut Fyodor Yurchikhin



Belgium/Belarus

Helen sent me this beautiful unicorn card. My first one!
Lera from Belarus sent me this card of her town.



Wales/Japan

Lorna from England says she spends lots of time in Wales, so that's where she got this card.
Kotona in Japan sent this card for the Weird/Odd/Strange RR. I think it's pretty funny!



South Africa/Slovenia

Reinette sent this beautiful card from South Africa
Another beautiful view card! Kristijan sent this one from Slovenia.



Norway/Indonesia

Valentina from Italy spends a lot of time in Norway and sent me this beautiful Norwegian card for my collection.
Novia is an Indonesian living in Germany. She says the photo on the card is of women performing a rain dance during dry season.



Estonia

Maili sent me this card... the cat looks almost exactly like mine! Minus the white stomach and paws. She says the words on the front mean "by sweet and all by okay".

Switzerland

Occasionally I sign up for lotteries on the Postcrossing forum, hoping to win free postcards from generous members. Elisabeth, who I've previously swapped with, had a lottery offering a card signed by all members who attended the Swiss meet-up. I unfortunately didn't win, but Elisabeth decided to send me a signed card anyway since I had helped her with her Civil War collection. Thank you Elisabeth!

Postcards: 3/20

From a fellow Kristen through the Space tag

From Para in Japan in the Fairy Round Robin

Olga from Ukraine sent this vintage card of Odessa, one of her favorite cities.

From Ingelill in Russia, from the North America -> World tag. Such a sweet card!

From Ana in Serbia. It was formerly the royal residence before World War II and is now the city hall.

Postcards: 2/16

Four postcards today!


Lori from Florida sent me a recipe postcard for southern pecan pie last month. Today she sent me this recipe card for key lime pie. Yum!

Joana from Finland sent me this sweet kitty card from the PC Cat tag.

I participated in an I Want tag on PC. My request was to get a postcard from a state where I haven't yet received a card. Yvonne sent this North Carolina card. Map and lighthouse cards are hugely popular on PC, so this card is very valuable!

Rie sent this official PC card from Japan. This picture reminds me so much of my kitten Roscoe. The coloring of the cat is the same and this is exactly how Roscoe looks during Mommy and Daddy's mealtimes. He sits on a dining room chair and peers over the table at our plates of food.
I have also included the back of the card. I love how Rie decorated it. So bright and pretty!

Postcards: 2/3 & 2/4

I received this pretty card from California yesterday. That's San Francisco in the background.

Today I received three cards.

Official Postcrossing card from Roxanna in the Netherlands. I love the fuzzy kitty!

Another official card from Japan. It's raining cats and dogs!

This one is from a "Dance" tag I took part it. It comes from Russia. Such adorable kids!

Postcards: 1/23 - 1/28

I had a very rough week this week, so I haven't been updating. I lost my puppy on Tuesday. I take solace in the fact that she was 17 and was very much loved the entirety of her life. Kisses for my baby girl.
