Card from Serbia

I received a wonderful multi-view card from Serbia. I like the card because it shows the various aspects of life in Serbia. Serbia was also part of the former Yugoslavia, but has since formed its own sovereign. 

Teapots from the Phillipines

I received these wonderful teapots from April in the Philippines. The Philippines is a nation of about 100 million people, and consists of over 7,000 islands. It looks like it has many beautiful beaches. These were designed by a filipino artist. Makes me want to have tea time! Thanks, April!

Mail from Montenegro

I met a new friend through the postcrossing forum. At the time, she was teaching english at a school in Montenegro. She is currently briefly in the US awaiting her next adventure/assignment. Montenegro used to be part of Yugoslavia, and more recently was a state with Serbia. They divided again in 2006. Best wishes in  new chapter you are starting, Justine!

"Greetings from...." collection continues to grow! From Italy.

Chelle was kind enough to buy some of the "Greetings from..." postcard series and send me some from their perspective country! This time I received one from Italy. She tells me she had a wonderful time sightseeing Wish I could be there! Italy was a wonderful country. Safe travels, Chelle!

Chat Bisous from Monaco!

My friend Katie is currently traveling with her husband and her adopted daughter Chelle's family in southern Europe. She mentioned they would be in Monaco, and I am happy to report that their card safely reached me! They mentioned that finding cards and the post office was an adventure, I am sure Katie will tell me all about it when she returns!

Beautiful dancer from Thailand

There was a postcrosser who was looking for birthday cards, so I sent her one. In exchange, she was able to send me a card of a typical dancer in Thailand. I have always found their intricate costumes so charming and beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful swap!

Algerian tea

I received a wonderful card depicting a tradition with mint tea in Algeria. The description (shown in the pictures) made me intrigued with the card, so I picked it to be sent from Algeria. What a great addition to my collection. Thanks, Riyad!

Mail from Democratic Republic of the Congo!

Hello! Today I received a lonesome piece of mail. It traveled all the way from the Congo to my mailbox! I am excited to get this piece of mail since it has traveled so far and through so much. The painting was made by an artist, so it gives me a local perspective of the landscape. This was re-sent after the first batch of cards sent from the Democratic Republic of th Congo is believed to be lost. Thank you, Jitendra!

Great news! Furry card from Germany.

Hello!

After my first card sadly got lost somewhere between Germany and the US, Laura agreed to send me another fake fur card from Germany! She was kind enough to resend it after I have patiently waited 2 months for it. She sent it at the same time as the foam card, so the whereabouts remain a mystery. Thanks, Laura!

postcard from Sri Lanka

I received this card many weeks ago from a friend who traveled to Sri Lanka for her birthday weekend. She tells me that Sri Lanka was very humid, but very beautiful and inexpensive. I hope to swing by there or to India while in Dubai, so hopefully I can also enjoy the beaches. Thanks for the card, Patricia!
