Postcrossing Cards - Incoming

December 27, 2011

I had a great couple of weeks for receiving cards, but sadly, not one for sending cards. I've had a card expire, and a couple where the receiver hasn't been on line for an extended period of time. I hope people head home soon and check their mail.

The first card makes me swoon with envy! I don't have a decent bookshelf, and I'd really love one like this. This card came from Germany and Shelli also loves books.
This card is quite popular at Postcrossing.


This card comes from the USA of course, and is from Terra. She lives in the vicinity of Saint Louis. This card shows the outside of the Busch Stadium, home to the Saint Louis Cardinals. I'm not a baseball fan, but I had just seen Moneyball at the theatre so it was quite nice to get this card.
Thanks Terra!

Reni in China sent me this pretty little card, along with the name of her favourite movie, Flipped. I haven't seen it, but she says it makes her cry heavily. She also wished me Merry Christmas, which was a nice sentiment.

This last card arrived on Christmas Day. It comes all the way from Russia. The sender says that she bought this card at a monastery on the island of Patmos, Altai, Russia. She wrote "Happy Holidays" in her native language, but I'm afraid I can't write it up for you!

She also put some gorgeous stamps on the back. These are beautiful.


Thanks for reading. I wonder if I'll get any new cards before the New Year?
