A Note from a Friend!
This lovely little card made its way to me from just a short drive away! Such a cute piece of mail – kinda wanna know where I can get something like this to send to others too! Thank you so much for this, Irma/Rob/Izzy!
Wake Up and Smell the… Crayons?
I got this “Fun Facts” postcard from South Carolina! I definitely did not know this about crayon use as a kid… I feel like I was always more of a colored pencil person, although I did have my fair share of crayons too. This brings me back to my time […]
This Broomstick Ain’t for Sweepin’!
Here is another postcard from Italy, sent from the same sender as my last post! Today, we’re featuring Sappada, a village located in the Dolomite Mountains (northern Italy, even further north than Burano – it’s near where the Italian-Austrian border lies). Given its spot in the mountains, it’s a great […]
The Colors That Shine Through Fog & Alcohol!
Here is a postcard I received from Italy! This card features the island of Burano, which is located in the Lagoon of Venice (northeastern Italy). If you were to type the name of this island into Google (or whatever search engine you use, I won’t judge), you would probably find […]
They’ve Got Potato Eater Chips… They Need “Sunflowers” Seeds Now Too!
So on my wall of postcards from 2014 (no, sorry – wallS… it’s plural…), there’s this one card that seems to keep falling down. Apparently the 5-year-old sticky tack is no longer sufficient to reinforce it with. But I took this as a sign that it wants me to make […]
Knowledge is Power!
Today I’m sharing a postcard I received back in 2014 from Ghana! I’d like to start this post by saying that this was sent to me by friends who have worked for years to have a school built in their hometown, Tamale. It was just recently finished and they are […]
More Christmas Wishes! (Sorry I’m So Late on These…)
This Christmas postcard came from Poland! These are Christmas and New Year’s greetings, with the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria in the background there. This church – not to be confused with St. Catherine’s Church (one that’s existed since the 14th century) – is located in the town of Golub-Dobrzyń, found […]
Sippin’ On Nectar!
I received this handmade card from Canada! Today we’re looking at a solar-powered hummingbird feeder (as if the large caption didn’t make it obvious), with a few patrons ordering takeout from it. Hummingbirds eat insects and nectar, and based on the little tiny ports in the decorative flowers, we can […]
Envision the Luster!
This postcard came to me from Finland! This adorable, holographic card is a work by Anita Polkutie, a Finnish illustrator whose works seem to often be Christmas-themed based on what I could find. A lot of them look like they’re done in watercolor as well. I couldn’t find much else on her, but […]
A Stroll Through the Woods for Independence!
This postcard is from Poland! This card commemorates the Polish Independence Day, which is on November 11th. Poland has been a sovereign nation since 1918, when it was given its independence at the end of WWI. The Polish Independence Day is a public holiday and is usually celebrated with gatherings […]
