This week's mail

After a long wait, I've finally received some mail and it was great to read those beautiful cards.

First, a card from my partner in Postcard with a painting swap#5 (swap-bot). This shows a lovely painting by Gustav Klimt.

Next, a panorama card from a private swap( The Netherlands). This is the first time I've received such unique card and so I am really happy to have it. Did you ever get such kind of cards?

This is from my partner of Maxi card swap (swap bot) 

This is a card for the Fairy postcard swap

This one is from my postcard pal Annie(Belarus). It shows a small print of the sketch representing a cathedral in the city of Minsk.

A letter from my pen pal Hannah (Port Elizabeth,South Africa) which also had three beautiful postcards.

And finally,I received a piece of my favorite television show Downton Abbey in the form of a book. I had ordered it online (a week ago) and received it today.I can't tell you how happy I am to own this book.

I have sent out Diwali greeting cards but couldn't take pictures of them. Hope my pals would receive them soon. What have you been sending these days?

Incoming and Outgoing

This week I've got the below shown postcards and letter. First, I would like to show a card (from USA) depicting my favorite artist Vincent Van Gogh's painting " Corn-field with Cypresses". This card was from one of my partners in Postcards with a painting swap.

This one's from a different partner of the same swap. I feel this painting is really different and intriguing. What do you think?

This card is from Turkey for the same swap and it's my first card from this country

Next, a card from a postcrossing user from Russia. I wonder what's written on the card. It would be great if anyone could explain it.

Then, my first letter from Anna who blogs at The Lettering

Outgoing Mail: This week I have sent mail for this season's swap Malicious Surprise by Tara  (Elevated Envelope). I hope my partners would be happy to receive these envelopes.

I hope my next bunch of mail arrives soon to fill some surprises in my life. I am going through a lot of stress right now and watching movies to get some relief. Watching my favorite movies never fails to cheer me up. What cheers you up?

Incoming and Outgoing Mail

Finally, I have received some cards and I am able to write another post about my incoming and outgoing mail.

First, a wonderful letter from my pen pal Heidi ( Finland ). I've always wanted these unusual Finnish stamps and it's great that Heidi used them for my letter. I am madly in love with them. What do you think?

Next, an official postcorssing card from a user in USA with lovely small stamps on the back.

Another postcrossing card from a user in USA which shows California State Capital Building and I think this is my first State capital card.

Now, I'd like to show some of my outgoing mail. Firstly, These are the four art cards for Postcard with a painting swap(Swap-bot) :

The Fairy postcard for the swap with same name, Olympic card for Maxi Card swap and the other card for a user in postcrossing:

I have been sending lots of cards and letters but didn't take photos of them and so, I couldn't show them here. Fortunately, I took this picture of the mail sent quite a long time back to Angie .

What have you been sending to your pals? It's a great fun to send out mail to your dear ones and strangers as well. Isn't it?

Cards and Letters

I got this lovely bunch of mail two days ago but wasn't able to write a post about it. So, I am going to do it today and share these beautiful cards and letters in this post.

This one's a first letter from Angie who blogs at Mailbox Happiness. I love those Pixar stamps released by USPS and Cars is one of my favorite movies.

The next one is an official postcrossing card from Australia which speaks for itself. This card has Australia's Gold winner stamps (London Olympics 2012) on the back. I think both the card and stamps are wonderful. What do you think?

This one is also an official postcrossing card from Netherlands.

Stamps on the back of the card from Netherlands

 The next one is from my postcard pal Fab from Italy and this is one of my favorite cards because I just love Rome.

Beautiful Italian stamp

 This is a card from China which is via private swap and I just love it's simplicity.

Chinese stamps

 This card was sent from Estonia by a user of sendsomething.net. It is beautiful but it was prepaid postcard so it didn't have any stamp on the back.

This last photo shows the stamps that was on the letter from my Swiss pen pal Nico.

This bunch of mail just brightened my gloomy day and I think that's the reason I am in love with it.Not just with this bunch but in fact with every card or letter I receive. I think that's the reason everyone loves to get mail. Why do you like mail? Do you have any other reasons apart from this?
Have a great Week!!

Cards are back!!

It's been quite a while since my last post and this was because the cards were still on their way to find my mail box.But now that they have finally found my way, I am back with a new post. 

This first one is a Griffin Maxi card from Australia and it was from my partner in Magical creatures postcard swap (Swap-Bot). This is my second maxi card in my collection( the first one being from Finland). I just love this card!!!! What do you think? Do you like maxi cards?

 This one is from Fairy postcard swap in Swap-bot:

Next one has come from Belgium through a private swap:

 This one is an official postcrossing card from Russia:

The last one is a letter from my pen pal- Ploy in Thailand who sends simple envelopes but the stamps on them are always beautiful.

The next picture shows the stamps on the earlier letters from Ploy.They are just amazing!!! I just love Thai stamps. What do you think? 

Hope my next bunch of mail arrives soon so that I could share it with you. It's really amazing to find a whole new bunch of mail from strangers and friends in your box. Isn't it?

More Postcards!!!

It's always good to see postcards in mail box and I'm really happy today because I got postcards again!
I am happy that the postman has delivered this bunch quite quickly and did not delay it to Monday because a lot of times they do like that.

First one is from a direct swap with Amy from Hong Kong:

The extra stuff along with the postcard

I never knew that Hong Kong post also released the stamps on Queen.Well, it was a great swap and all the beautiful stamps on the envelope were superb!

The next one is also from a direct swap with Alex and this card speaks for itself

                                             
And after quite a long time, I got a card from Ewelina and it shows the windmill from the open-Air museum of her city

The last one is an official Postcrossing card from a user in Taiwan

It is great to receive cards from such wonderful people and I think each card is unique in its own way.
I respect each and every person who has sent me such wonderful stuff and had brought a smile on my face.                                             

It's Raining Postcards!!!!

Huh! I think the postman has decided to deliver all the cards in a single day and made me wait for a long time. Well, I am happy that he has finally delivered the beautiful bunch of postcards today.

Here are those cards!!

This card is from Ukraine which shows a Russian painting.This postcard is from a user in Swap-Bot for the 3+ postage stamps#4 swap...

                                              Lovely stamps on the back of the card

The next one is an official postcrossing card from Romania

                                                  I just love these pretty stamps

This one's also an official postcrossing card from Belgium.
Unfortunately, the sender didn't write anything on the back of the card except "Greetings from Belgium" and his name. I wish he would have written something about this card.

       This is a second calligraphy stamp from Belgium( I got the first one from postcrossing as well)


The next one's from China and is through a private swap.

                                           Great Chinese stamps on the back the card

This last one's also through a private swap from Brazil. It shows the Japanese Festival of the Stars being celebrated in Sao Paulo's " Asian District" which is the largest Japanese settlement outside Japan. It was really great to know about it...

                                  This last one didn't have a stamp on it but a postal slip

Anyways, I am happy to get all of these lovely postcards with beautiful stamps attached to them and certainly not to forget the cheerful messages written on them.

I wonder what will my next bunch of postcards and letters teach me!
