I got another postcard from Belgium! This is a multiview of Ypres (or Ieper in Dutch), a town in the northwesternmost province of West Flanders. Ypres is a town marked with a turbulent past – during WWI, a number of battles were fought within its midst. As a result, it […]
I received this postcard from Belgium! Actually, it’s more like Belg-yum! ‘Cause we’re talkin’ about cuberdons today! Cuberdons are the conical candies you see here. At first I thought they were those plastic granules used in manufacturing. These look tasty so I’m glad that’s not the case! Cuberdons are Belgian […]
This one is a meetup postcard from Belgium! Once again, an extraordinary work of art with this meetup card design – also love how it’s a maxicard-style one (is it still a maxicard if the stamp on the front is different from the picture, BTW?) This card also celebrates 15 […]

Here’s a meetup postcard from Belgium! I mentioned before the 150-year anniversary of postcards – this here is a card signed at a meetup celebrating just that! I applaud the depiction of the earliest postal cards here – shouts out to Dr. Emanuel Herrmann for that! And thank you Veerle […]
Here’s a really cute meetup postcard from Belgium! This was a Christmas meetup that took place the first of December – and boy does it feel like Christmas when I get these surprise meetup cards! This picture is so sweet 🙂 Thank you so much for thinking of me and […]
Here’s a hoot of an art card over Official Postcrossing from Belgium! This intriguing work of art was done by Cornelis Bloemart, a Dutch painter and engraver of the 1600s. We are bearing witness to an engraving titled “Two Owls Ice Skating”, and that is exactly that! First of all, […]
Look at this cool self-designed Official Postcrossing postcard from Belgium! The sender faces the same woe that I do – hometown does not sell postcards (Whitehall doesn’t either – I have to use Allentown or Philadelphia). Borgloon is located in Limburg province, which is in the northeastern part of the […]
