Postcards from around the World # 6 - Czech Republic

Just a quick update with another postcard I got in October - my mother went to Prague for a weekend and remembered to send me a postcard :)

I haven't been yet which is a shame, because it is said to be a very beautiful (yet touristy of course) city, but who knows, maybe I'll get a chance to visit the city and country in the next year. It's an odd feeling to know that there are still a few neighbouring countries of Germany which I haven't seen.

I also loved the stamp and the clear postage mark!

Alles Liebe,

Happy Diwali!

I got a letter from Amit on Wednesday. If you know Amit, you also know that he uses amazing stamps. I love these! Aren't they incredibly pretty?

Amit sent me a card wishin me a happy Diwali. Diwali is the Festival of Lights celebrated across India and apparently a very colourful festival, Amit told me he was already looking for clay lamps when he was writing the letter. I'm so happy that the card reached me on time.

Did you learn anything interesting from through the mail lately? I never heard of this festival before and loved learning about it.

Alles Liebe,
Caddi

Postcards from around the World # 5 - Greece

Today I got a postcard from a close friend - the lucky girl spent a few days in Greece!

It has been almost ten years since I have been in Greece (wait, maybe even longer!) and I have to admit, I was a bit jealous when I heard about her plans - but I love that she got to go on a holiday, she deserves it! She did enjoy the greek sun, the beach, the ocean - they also went to see Athen and Patras though!

I love the stereotypical white and blue houses of Greece, I love the colour combination.

The stamp is fantastic as well!

This card made me want to go on holidays SO bad! Well, next year there's another chance for some travels...

Where will your next journey take you?

Alles Liebe,

I did it!

Unbelievable but true - I used up a roll of Washi tape :)

That's good news, because usually I'm quite a stationery hoarder and have problems using things up - anyone else still having letter sets from a decade ago?

Alles Liebe,
