Love the box these came in!
I would gladly take a couple of Dr. Who off ur hands. I can send a couple of ur likes from your profile in an envelope. Send me a pm if ur agreeable to this. My friend loves Dr who especially Tardis⊠I think thatâs what itâs called. Blue telephone box thing⊠She talks about it alot.
Oooh where can I get one of those???
Recently we travelled to Chisinau, Moldova - itâs the home country of my husband. So I bought there some local cards.
I know that many people are not fans when a postcrosser lives in one country and sends cards showing another country, so Iâll send these postcards carefully.
Also, I bought some funny washi tape (so love them!)
I was doing what I can do best yesterday: shopping in thrift shops, when I came across a whole bunch of blank real vintage cards. I picked out a few leaving so many behind, but I was really happy with these. I have no idea of the date, itâs nowhere mentioned. The American one (with the colours) mentions that domestic needs one cent and foreign two cents. I looked it up on google, and in 1898 the domestic rate for postcards was 1 cent!
While on vacation for a week I got possibly too many postcards I sent some while there, but a lot came home with me, as wellâŠ
(I also got that lilâ radish. He helps me write the cards )
A sheet of these 1987 stamps. When the postal rate increases, I can use one of these and two forever stamps to equal $1.30
Oh my goodness, these are a real treasure!
I know, I had to be in that neighbourhood again today and got a few more
I bought far too many postcards (although far fewer than I would have liked to buy) and some lovely stamps. (The finnish posti issues beautiful stamps indeed.)
Recently I went on a three day trip here in Portugal, and of course I got postcardsâŠ
These two from a tapestry museum
And these from a small town, Campo Maior
Back home I got some stamps. Nice variety this time!
Two cards Iâd bought on Tradera (eBay) arrived. From two childrenâs books by author and artist Jan Lööf.
I want more!!! The box on the bottom right has so many nice ones that I didnât even notice and the shop I bought it in had two optionsâŠI think I need the other box Itâs been almost two weeksâŠ
Are you feeling shaky already? Welcome to the club!
Well obviously you meant to write that you wonât buy any more this month. There was a typo in there I guess so since it is the next month⊠well
YesâŠnew washi tape every month is fineâŠitâs when itâs a daily thing that you know you have a problem Ammirite??
Another good reason for us to visit that tapestry museum weâve heard so much about â and Campo Maior as well! Both postcard series are gorgeous!
That whole area is definetly worth a visit. I also recommend it!
I didnât really go looking for cards, but these just stared at me!
The ones from the tapestry museum are details of the 1550 colours pallet they use.
In Campo Maior I visited two museums, Arte Sacra (Religious art) and Lagar (Olive Oil Mill) which were free, so getting the cards was a way of supporting them. Thatâs a good reason to get cards even though I have lots at home⊠right?
