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: 3/7 - 3/13

I finally got my computer back! I've gotten 21 cards in the last week.

USA

Funny official card from Grace in South Dakota.

Christina answered my request in a tag and sent me this Kentucky card.

Another beautiful shot of a Washington mountain.

Rather strange card from the Card you want to get rid of tag. I would much rather have "sadness" be the tiniest section!

Beautiful poem courtesy of Ryann in South Carolina.

I like this style of map card. It's very interesting to look at!

Janila, who's from Pennsylvania, got this card when she was at her retirement home in Florida. This kitty should be the spokes-"person" for Florida!

I made a mistake on an earlier post. The neat new card I had received wasn't made out of yarn. It's made out of fabric, which I still think is pretty neat, since it's entirely hand-made! I've even included the back of the "card", written as though it's a real postcard.



Turkey/Belarus

Turkey - I'm loving the sweet yin-yang heart
Belarus - Another kitty who reminds me of my kitty!



Spain/Malaysia

Spain - It appears they have a lot of interesting architecture there! This card comes from Vanessa, who noticed I didn't yet have any cards from Spain. Thanks Vanessa!
Malaysia - I think this is an ad card. Not entirely sure what the guy is doing!



Philippines/India

Philippines - I received this pretty card from my postcard pal Cecille
India - Anaita on Postcrossing requested a card for her mother's birthday. I helped out and she sent this neat card as a thank you.



Russia/Taiwan

Russia - Ksenia helped contribute to my space collection with this International Space Station card
Taiwan - Yan-Tin sent this official card. It's a holographic photo of Taipei. It's also rather see-through, which is why you can see part of her message through the image.



Germany/Slovenia

Germany - Picasso artwork from the Weird/Odd Round Robin
Slovenia - Multi-view card from the North America -> World Round Robin. I had no idea how beautiful Slovenia is!



Greece

These two cards come as a thank you from Nectaria. She had requested some cards for a friend of hers and I helped out. Greece is beautiful!

Postcards: 3/6

Six postcards today, and five from new places!

USA

From Michelle in Texas through the US to US Round Robin. Good thing I'm not a St. Louis Rams fan!

From Sarah in Connecticut, also through the US to US Round Robin. It's an astrological map.

Thailand

A Buddhist temple from a direct swap.

Baby elephants! Courtesy of Ploy, whose name means "gemstones" or "jewels". Very cool.

Portgual

River view in Lisbon from Isabel in the North America -> World Round Robin.

Malaysia

1930s view of a market in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, courtesy of Lufra in the North America -> World Round Robin.
