Went to the tiny bookstore again and could ask for the artist’s name of the postcard in the center. Their name is Manja Karl.

Today I went for a walk around the city center, found some nice things for postcrossing: a pencil sharpener in the form of a chubby penguin, a box for stickers with a cute cat, two sets of decorative tape and funny stamps. The day went well. :wink:

I went past the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art today and couldn’t resist going into their souvenir shop. I like that you don’t have to buy a ticket to do that. There was a huge queue outside despite the cold but they let me in and here are my treasures.

I may secretly have been motivated to drive 3 hours to George Washington’s estate so that I could find postcards. This was only the second time I’ve found postcards in person and I literally gasped when I saw the display. My favorite is the lenticular card that shows the estate in three different time periods! :blush:

I once posted here “I guess I won’t need any more cards until 2023”… and then posted 4 more times since! Is it 2023 already…? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

oh i tell myself that everytime i’ve bought something new. and then a few weeks later i walk into a shop with nice cards or find a new webshop. somehow i still find things i don’t have yet.

it’s almost 2023 but i mean. you have to make that 2025 now of course.
