Russia - 18th of april 2011

I know, I know, it's been way too long for me to blog but I seriously hadn't got the time. As I received this wonderful postcrossing card from Tomsk today, I couldn't keep it to myself (not that I received any nice mail at all the past weeks, just bills. -.- ).




It is showing a Russian-German culture centre that used to be the house of a merchant in the city of Tomsk.

Plus the stamps are lovely!

Today I received a postcard from Sweden. It came from Sälen, Dalarna, showing a green Dalahorse, winter pictures and the dogs my scanner wanted to cut off all the time -.-




The stamp is one from the Royal series. :)

Letters: Sweden. New stamps!

It's been a while and I'm sorry for my absence, but you know how life can be. Anyway. Yesterday I got a letter from Sweden with those sweet stamps on it!



Very pink-ish but damn cute nevertheless, if you ask me. :)

Incoming postcard: the Netherlands

Today I received a postcard a friend of mine sent me from the Netherlands when she was on a mini-vacation there. It's quite a shame the scan turned out so bad because it is a really cool card that is changing pictures, depending on the angle you're looking at it. So you can only see the four small pictures (I really love the owls! And you canf ind sheep on it as well! :D ) and not the big one with the landscape.





And then there was this nice stamp on it:

Letters: Poland

Today I was very happy to find a letter from my penfriend from Poland who had been living in the UK for quite a long while and returned home now. I was very glad to get it and it was a surprise as she attached some postcards for me as well!



That is the stamp showing a bit from the city of Częstochowa (whatever the proper English transcribition is) in Poland.



This card is showing London, UK, with the probably most famous sight - the Big Ben! The Houses of Parliament are on the picture, too, but I have never been in there, to be honest.



The second card she sent me is from the city of Brighton, showing the Brighton Pier and the West Pier. I love the atmosphere the card is projecting, even though my penfriend explained, that it wasn't that idyllic but more or less lots of partying and clubbing.
