Jewish Tag from Poland

Okay I have to admit, this one is my so far best of best. It's came in the Passover Eve, house clean, chametz is all removed. Matzo ready to be eaten, Seder dinner almost ready - and you can feel it in the air. Shabat coming!

And when I open the mail box... my oh my!
I'm off to celebrate. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Favorite one from China


Private Swap from China. Love the incredible engineering work to design and build those bridges and freeways.
Stamps are good looking too.

strange things do happen!

Okay, I have to say this even if for my sake only. Strange thing just happened. I think in my last two posts I said how I'm kind of missing regular postcrossing exchange. Well, I went online, thinking I'll send a few cards, not a big deal, just to stay somewhat active. I requested address - CANADA, okay, not bad let's do it again - CANADA. Third is the charm - guess what it's CANADA again! and fourth and fifth!!!

Before I know I end up sending 10 postcards to CANADA and one to Poland :))))))
Kind of afraid to continue... may be I'll wait and try again later.

#401 Postcard: NL-619396

Did I mention that I kind of missing regular postcrosiing mail?
here is another one...

It came from 10 and 11 years old kids from school in Holland. Very cheerful envelope and postcard.

Surprise in mailbox from Russia

Okay, I said it before and I'm going to say again that wish list is working!

This time someone notice that I "liked" postcard that somebody else received. And she went and send it to me!

Russia


  • Архангельская область, Каргополь. Один из старинных городов русского севера. Относительно даты его возникновения у историков до сих пор нет единого мнения, хотя многие считают, что Каргополь был основан в 1146 г. как поселение-фактория в период колонизации края новгородцами. Относительно происхождения названия города также ведутся дискуссии; по одной из версий наименование "Каргополь" связывается с финно-угорским "каргун-пуоли", что означает "медвежья сторона"



Wow.. learned something new today, thanks to Google-search :) What people do before internet? went to the library?
