Week 5

Hello~
I'm still not ready with all scanning stuff and others but I came to update last week now... Postcards are now bit random order because I don't remember anymore which one arrivaled on which day but I think it's not matter now ^^'

My first postcrossing postcard from Israel! I used to have pen-pal from there so I have few postcard too but no this one :')



A Tulip postcard from Netherlands. So sweet and lovely~

One of my favorites, bike from Netherlands. My biggest fear but I love still ;') I placed this on my room wall~

AD-postcard from Germany, back side is full of German so I spent nice half of hour trying to figure it out ^^ I like to learn languages and I'm also curious enough to do it by that way~

A wonderful postcard from China (also postmark was Chinese) but with US-id code. My first one showing The Great Wall and it looks so... well, great!

A nice postcard (look, horses~) from Mississippi, United States



A Swap postcard from Minsk, Belarus. And there was a tulips stamps on it! Thank you for sending this :') I'll post answer tomorrow!



A thank you postcard from Ukraine! With cat-stickers (I used them to cover our address now ^^) Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked postcard which I sent you :')

And that's all, I think. Tomorrow is new post day then. I was also sick last week and because temperature was around -26 celsius, I didn't dare to go outside :/ So I didn't get on my way to post postcards... But I'm not sick anymore so tomorrow I can go to walk outside~
See you!

It's Friday again

Hello~ Today was wonderful post day, I got five postcards!

All cards today

And countries are: Russia, Russia again, Netherlands, Belarus and China. In order first is from Russia and it was sent from Postcrossing meeting! They had one in Moscow at December. This was really nice suprise and I feel also very honoured to get one meeting postcard. Everybody who was there, thank you a lot! Hope you had a nice day there.
Another postcard from Russia was also wonderful! Painting of troika (by P. Kovalevky). Troika is traditional Russian way to drive horse and it's also very fast! But I think difficult to control. I hope to see someday troika by my own eyes and maybe try to drive it too (or maybe not... I usually drive max, two horses ^^'') Also this card's stamp was wonderful. There is photo of it later.
Then my lovely Netherlands, I love this postcard too. When I went to get post, this was left bit up so I saw it first and my thought was "oh, my mail box is growing tulips... wonderful!" I can't say more than I just love this postcard :') And there was postcrossing stamp on it! I took own photo of it. (little trivial fact: there is Finnish on this stamp. One those postcards have text "Talviset terveiset" which is Finnish and means "Winter greetings" How funny :') If you have postcrossing Europe-stamp you can see it too.)
From China I get lovely postcard with two cats. Absolutely cute~ I want own cat too but it's not possible now :'( But someday I'll give home for one or two cats (or three?)
And then there is wonderful swap-card from Belarus. I'll send you one back soon! Minsk looks actually very nice city... I would like to visit also there someday.

"From the Garden of Holland, a Tulip... Especially for you~"

It's Postcrossing stamp! Yay!

Really beautiful horse stamp from Russia. Love this too

4th and 5th of January

Yeah, yeah, I'm being lazy again... Oh well, last week there was two days when my post box was happy (and Friday was freeday here so no post)

From 4th of January

Top one is from Firenze, Italy and I got it from postcard swap. Hope sender will received my answer card soon! I really like this one. Colours and view are very nice and everybody who likes to play Assassin's creed will recognize those towers (I'm AC-fan too...) Unfortunaly you can't see colouring so well since there is two weird lights on photo (from my camera)

Another one is from United States and showing Rockefeller Center from New York. Very great postcard and it's nice to get one from such famous place. Since I live literally middle of forest (my home city is surrounded by three forest and a lake) so I can't even imagine so big city than NYC! Biggest city where I'm never been was Brussels, capital of Europe, and there is about 2 milj. people there, I think. New York is much bigger. 

Thursday I got quite suprise. This nice cat postcard from Singapore:

My first one from here so I used moment to find out which kind of place Singapore is. I found out it's small country (actually city if I understod right) with population about 6 millions. And it's very multicultural place since there is people from all around Asia.
Thank you for a nice postcard! I also took photo of stamp / postmark since it looks good ^^

Post of 12th of Dec. and last Friday

Okay hi!

I was busy again at weekend so I didn't update this. Saturday I was on Christmas market (it was really small, nothing like those what they keep in Germany! I would want to visit German Christmas market someday^^) and also helped my mom to bought presents. Sunday I was... Just lazy...

But today I got four postcards so it's time to tell about them!

First Friday maybe...

I received one postcard. It was really amazing map-card from Bulgaria! It was even shaped like silueth of Bulgaria and there was all main cities with small picture of their most important landmarks. It was wonderful card. I placed it on my room's wall but if I someday go to Bulgaria, I'll take it with me and then visit all those important places (real road trip~) And it was swap card. Thank you so much for sending it!

And the today~

Four cards from Netherlands, United States and Taiwan (two of them was from there!)

From Netherlands I received very nice one. It's sent from city called Leeuwarden and sender recommend me to visit city's homepage (www.vvvleewarden.nl) I checked that website and it looks very nice. Also available in English but for some weird reason my internet browser wants to show only Dutch one... Well, no problem, I can understand Dutch too (actually... I was reading and suddenly I noticed that this looks funny... Wait! There is no that kind of double letters in English! This is Dutch...) Anyway! I like this postcard very much, it's very elegant view card. You know, there is black sides and then small photos and city's name... voilá, very beautiful. Thank you!

Then United States.This is first one from there for long time and sender said he made this postcard by himself. I really respect people who have skills to make postcards! I have completely none... But I have nothing against of self made postcard, some people can made really amazing and after all somebody is made all postcards. Also those which you can buy form shop. Thank you!

Like I said I got two postcard from Taiwan and they both are amazing! One is with Taiwan's flag and its looks like it was painted on wood. I love this one, it's very beautiful.
Another one is from cat-lover and of course it's with photo of cat (cats, there is two of them but second is hardly to notice) I love cats and it's nice to see how they live somewhere in another side of Earth. Thank you so much for both of you!

I think I figured out how to take good photos of postcards with my camera so I think I can also start to put them here. I need to test it yet... But I think it would be nicer to see photos too! And of course update them also to Postcrossing gallery.

That's all, see you~!

Post of 7th and 8th of Dec.

Hi!

I was pretty busy yesterday so I didn't update my blog. But I'll do it now~

Yesterday I got two postcards! From Spain and Italy. I have not much cards from those countries so I was pretty suprised to get them on same day (oh well, I'm always happily suprised when I go to get post and there is postcards or letter or sometimes even packets! ...Packets are usually for my sister who is more active with letter friends than me. I got all postcards ^^ but anyway, I'm always happy no matter where posts are from.)
So, postcard from Italy is showing historical centre of city in Avellino's Province. There is also name "Calitri" so it's name of that city, I think. It seems to be located in Southern Italy. Very nice, have to remember that place if I visit Italy some day. Thank you for sending this me!

And Spanish one~ It's also view card and showing place in Gran Canaria, named Maspalomas. I know that place, there is lot of tourist who visit there every year. Also lot of Finns, I think. I'm never visited in real tourist places but why not some day. Thank you for you too!


Today I got three postcards! Russia, China and Italy

From Moscow, capital of Russia, I received very nice kitten postcard. Its looks so cute! And there is also stamps which I'm not seen before. They are shaped like snow flakes and looks pretty. I wonder if they are some new design? I got lot of postcards from Russia before and I don't remember to see those kind of stamps before. (oh, but now I looked closer... There is text "Russia 2009" so I suppose they are not new design... I'm not just got them before =D) Thank you for this!

Postcard from China is also great! I had very nice post day today.
This card is showing painting of Théodore Géricault. I didn't know name so I googled it and learnt that he was French painter and this postcard show his work named "The Epsom Derby". Thank you!

Then I received swap- postcard from Italy, Venice (in Finnish we wrote it "Venetsia" so I try all the time write it in English Venezia...Oh, it's like that in Italian, nice~) This is showing some of condoles. Venice is one of my number one must-to-visit place. It's been it since I read one wonderful book about it. I think I was 12 years old and I don't remember name of that book anymore but I remember some things. Canals, condoles, festival... I loved that book, I think I have to try to find it again.
Thank you too for sending this!

That was all today ^^ And btw, I was thinking of way how I tell about postcards here and I choose that I'll not say senders names or user names here because I'm not sure if they want it or not. So just for case I'll keep names off. I'm still sure that if you sent me postcard, you'll regonaise yours =D

Have a nice day / evening / night!

Today's post 1 of Dec.

Moi,

Today I got one postcard. Really amazing 3D tulips card from Holland. Thank you so much! I spent nice few minutes on morning just staring this and turning around =D (In my area, postman come very early morning, he is here sometimes around nine! ((9.00am)) So when I have lazyer morning, I can just first to go get post when I waked up) Anyway, I put this postcard on my table, there is small tulips field already and I still hope it will grow more~

(I'm still staring this postcard, it's looking so amazing how those tulips like move! I think I found my inside child again by this :')
Okay, I have also only one card to get to post today. One swap card to Italy and I'll now to go with it. It have to be on mail before 14:00 if I want that it'll start travel today. Actually there is alredy few of my postcards there because I went to drop some yesterday evening. (there is something funny with that phrase but I don't found what... Okay, let it be...)

See you!
