You've got mail!

As a teenager, writing & receiving postcards from holiday destinations was a must! I remember my mom was always surprised by the amount of postcards that arrived.

These days i still love to write & receive postcards, times have changed though, lots of people prefer to announce their destinations on the world wide web...

What a shame!

Luckily some people are just as old fashioned as myself, here are some pretty cards i found in my mailbox lately!!

Happy mail

One of the best moments of my day... emptying my mailbox! (well... not if there are bills in it ofcourse!) But finding colorful, creative enveloppes or nice postcards: i love it!

Last week i got lucky once more, Lisa spoiled me with another enveloppe filled with more yummy tea, a letter, more postcards for my growing collection & this supercool wooden pull doll! She saw me blogging about one of mine... How sweet! Many thanks Lisa!! My turn again :)

This week more happy mail was waiting for me! Vibeke organised a snail mail swap & i received happy mail from Heidi in Finland! I'll tell you more about it later...

Dusty old cards

I'm crazy about them!! I love the cute drawings & the fun colors they're printed in.
Oh and ofcourse the dusty smell...
