It definitely isn't new that it takes me a while to update this blog, but this time I actually have a reason for it!
I decided to move everything to wordpress!
It will take me a while before I have moved all the posts over to my new site, but once I'm done I'll give you a link to my new blog!
At first I thought about only posting all my new cards on the wordpress blog and leave a link to this blog here, but if I make a postcard blog I want to do it right and have it feature ALL my received postcards and not just a few. With the hundreds of cards that i received so far it really takes some time to post them all especially since I don't want to do so many bulk posts like I did for this blog here.
So look forward to a much nicer blog on wordpress!

Sent by: Iris
These two postcards were sent by Iris showing the places she went to for summer vacation. I really like the views of costal towns in Greece and looking at them makes me want to go their for my own vacation :D
Though from these two cards my favourite is actually the one from Chora.
I don't know if you'll see this or not, but Iris I tried to contact you via postcrossing, but haven't heard back from you yet. It would be great if you could check your mails and reply to me!

Postcard pals
I'm currently looking for new postcard pals!
To me it is a lot of fun to get to know someone through postcards, to read about someone's day and to see and read where they went to. I also enjoy to send cards that I think are special or cards from the places I've been to.
I'm looking for peopel from all around the world, don't care about your age or gender and am very open minded.
If you are also looking for a long term postcard pal and would love to get to know me why not contact me? :)
You can also contact me via postcrossing if you want: LittlePuffin

Surprise postcard from Kelley!
This card was a real surprise! It is from Kelley, the same person who sent mea Civil War as an official :)
She noticed that I like USA state map cards and that I was still missin one from Massachusetts, the state she lives in. I already loved her first card and then I received another wonderful card!
Sometimes I enjoy sending extras together with my official cards (stamps or sometimes even more than just one card), but this is the first time I received extras on the official site myself. I decided that I would send her something in return - hope my cards will arrive safely! :D

Private Swap!
This postcard made me SO happy! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in someone's gallery on postcrossing. After looking at the profile of the sender I saw that she was interested in private swaps so I just had to ask her if she could get a copy of that card for me. She told me she would look for it and then after some weeks I found this lovely card in my mailbox!
I'm usually not a fan of cards with kids or local people, but the boy on this card really is cute and I really like the colors on the card (so yellow!).
A postcard that made my day!

Portugal for myself!
Just like the one from Italy I posted earlier, this card was bought by myself in a second-hand store. I really liked the motive so I kept it for myself :)
Italy for myself
I found a stack of old postcard in a second-hand shop and decided to buy some for swapping with others, but in the end I liked this card so much that I decided to keep it for myself :)
It is a card from Italy.

The last post for today shows my first postcard from Nicaragua! The sender wrote that he lived in middle america for the past 20 years, but is going to move back to Austria at the end of this year. Looks like I'm not the only postcrosser who's planning to mvoe even though I'm staying in the same country while he changes a country with such beautiful beaches for one located in the mountains =D
Mail from my brother!
Usually when I'm visiting some of the cities that aren't too far away from here I never care about getting postcards for myself and always send all of them to other people, so it was a nice surprise when I've got this postcard from my brother. Itz shows the "Zeche & Zollverein" an UNESCO WHS in Essen. My brother moved there a few years ago and so I also visit (and have been visiting him) every now and then, but this is actually the first Essen postcard in my postcard collection :)
Guess since I'm moving soon I should try to get a few postcards from the larger cities around here for my own collection :)

Surprise cards from Austria!
Ever since my dad told some of his co-workers that I collect postcards I sometimes receive great postcards when one of them went on vacation. This time I received these two cards from Austria!
Well, I don't know if they are are just nice people that they care to send mail to someone they don't know, or if they hope to gain something by doing so (as in favours from my dad) ... well whatever their reason is I always enjoy getting those surprise postcards :D

This probably would have been one of the best officials I've received so far (along with many other beautiful cards) if it wasn't a double. Okay the sender couldn't know that I already received this card through a private swap long time ago so I was just happy that she choose such a nice postcard for me that also matched my wishlist :)

I love how simple this postcard is. One of my favourite Moomin cards!

Most of my Civil War related postcard had been modern cards, so it was a nice surprise when I found this card in my mail box. On top of that this card hadn't been sent because I requested such cards, but simply because I wrote "World History" as one of my personal interests.
So it indeed was a nice surprise ;)
I also exchanged some messages with the sender and she really seems to be a nice and interesting person that surprised me by sending even more cards after that will get posted later :)

A basketball shaped card in the colors of the Lithuanian flag! A very interesting postcard issued for the European Basketball Championship in Lithuania. Can't say that I'm very interested in that sport, but the card is pretty cool :)

Isn't the girl cute? :) A nice card together with a really nice message - it always makes me happy to receive such cards :)

An add card for a book written by the Dutch author Esther Verhoef. Can't say that I ever heard of her, but the sender wrote that she writes crime/detective fiction which is one of the few genres that I really can't stand. I still enjoyed her message about the author and what kind of books she likes to read :)
My mom likes this genre so maybe I should suggest that author to her?

My first official card from Portugal! I already received quite a few cards through private swaps, but it is still nice to receive an official as well! I really like the view of the boat on the beach, but the city view is also fantastic!
