Postcrossing - Incoming

To February 27, 2013

Apologies for not updating sooner.  I had a busy end of February with writing deadlines and then in the beginning of March my computer decided to throw a fit and didn't want to work anymore.

Anyway, I have five rather interesting cards, some with lovely stamps too, so I hope you enjoy them.  Please feel free to comment below. I'd love to hear which one is your favourite.



This card was sent from Portugal and talks about a horror movie festival in Lisbon.  The sender didn't say more than that unfortunately.
This came with a stamp that some people would like, other people would think was apt for a horror movie festival!

Marina from Minsk sent this card.  She only wrote, "Greetings from Belarus" so there isn't much to tell you about this card.  It is a lovely view.

Il Postino
This card came all the way from The Netherlands.  Ina sent it and tells me that she doesn't really like Italian films very much.  These days she likes the Turkish filmmaker who made a trilogy called, "Eggs", "Milk" and "Honey".  She also loves Sokurov, a Russian film maker.  She mentioned a film called "The Sun" which apparently isn't screened in Japan due to fears that the right wing in Japan might protest it.  (It's about the Japanese Emperor.)

Thanks Ina!  As I told her in my thank you, I did see Il Postino, but I didn't like it very much.  I was a little too sad that the main actor died right after the film was finished, he'd put off having heart surgery a little too long.  I didn't think it was a good enough movie to be worth a man's life.

A good card, with a lovely chatty message, though!


Eero sends his greetings from the middle of Finland. He writes that he lives there with his dog and cat in his own house.  

He sent a lovely card.  I believe that these are Collies, since they are bigger than Shetland Sheepdogs.  I have a long love of Shelties, but Collies are quite close.  

He used this fabulous stamp on his card as well.  Lovely!

Lao sent this card from China.  He sent Winter Greetings to me and said that he hasn't been to my country, but would like to travel there.  
The Imperial Palace in Shen Yang

So, there you are.  Five great cards and some lovely stamps.  I've been falling behind with Postcrossing, so there'll likely be another entry coming soon.  Keep an eye out for it.  

Comments welcome below!  See you soon.

That clown stamp definitely falls on the scary side.

But it is sort of cool isn't it? It reminds me of "It", the miniseries from the Stephen King novel. That was scary!
