Another lovely bumper crop of postcards to show off today. I have been receiving a lot of cards, haven't been sending as many as I like due to time constraints.
I'd love to hear which ones you like and why in the comments. Remember, if you like to see them a bit bigger, just click on the picture.
On with the show...
Alena sent this interesting card from Belarus. She says that this card shows the illustration for the book "Red Sails" by the great Russian writer Alexander Grin. She notes that it has been translated into many languages, and she whole-heartedly recommends it.
I hadn't heard of the book before, but I will keep an eye out for it. Thank you Alena!
Next up is this card that Travis sent from Saint Louis in the US.
He writes that he is a 28 year old Youth Specialist for his state. He is also a caretaker at his church. He wishes me a great holiday season!
When I took this card out of the mailbox, my husband's response was, "Oh, it's YOU!". He seems to think I look like Audrey Hepburn. I don't, so I think it is time for new glasses for him!

Maria sent this lovely card from Cologne, Germany. She writes that she has a few favourite movies and lists off Dead Poets Society, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, The Artist and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as some of them. She also likes old Disney movies. I loved all of the movies she listed, with the exception of Dead Poets Society.
She signs off with her best wishes and a hope that I like the card. I do, very much!
The next card is a surprise. It is not the card that I misplaced, but it is a card with the same picture! Interestingly, the one card that I can't find, is the one card that I have received the duplicate of from someone else!
Ilya from Moscow sent this card with his warmest greetings. He writes that he wishes me a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. He said that he hasn't been to Japan yet, but thinks that it should be very interesting to live there...it is, most of the time!

I received this interesting card from a Postcrosser in Finland. These ladies are rather sought after by fans. This is my first card. It makes me laugh.
The card was sent by Katarina who wrote that she exercised in the morning and then painted a winter view in the afternoon.

And the last card for you tonight brings me right up to date! It's quite an interesting one. It comes from India!
Mukund sent the card from Pune in the central part of India, although the picture is a desert state in the West of India. I didn't know that there was desert in India...One of the many reasons I love Postcrossing!
