Today I received these, I can’t believe how beautifully these coordinate
Today I posted these 10 cards.
3 to family and friends in the UK
2 Official cards (Germany and Russia)
5 forum tag cards (USA, Canada, Russia and Belgium)
Received: 1 RAS from B-Engel.
I sent 5 officials today. I don’t have photos of the front, but I liked the stamps I used and took a photo of those. The postcards are on their way to Germany, Belarus, Russia and the USA.
I actually had to pick up a postcard from the post office today. Yesterday, I found a notification in my mailbox, that a piece of registered mail could not be delivered to me because I wasn’t at home. It didn’t say anything more than “a piece of registered mail”, so due to the fact that registered mail in my book always had a touch of “highly official” and “very important” to me and for the life of me I couldn’t think of who would send me something via registered mail and why, except for something along the lines of “did I just get fired?!” So you can probably imagine, I was somewhat nervous… I went to the post office after work today, and what did I get?! A postcard from Lithuania! lol
And it was no registered mail at all, I suppose, for Deutsche Post took the barcode of the Lithuanian Post for a register code, while it is not more than the orange barcode used by Deutsche Post themselves.
Yep, I reckon that’s exactly what happened. While I gotta admit their additional barcode sticker with a number on it really looks like it’s registered mail… this is actually the second time I received a postcard from Lithuania labelled as registered mail. This first time I was at home when my mailwoman stopped by, she was like “why on earth does somebody send a postcard by registered mail?!”
It doesn’t seem like this happens with every piece of mail from Lithuania though…
I love the Frida Kahlo postcard!
wow That’s a lot

Hallo, interessant das zu lesen! Bei mir kam nämlich heute auch eine Karte aus Litauen an mit einem Aufkleber Einschreiben und R , also Rückantwort. Ich glaube, dass der Absender es aufgeklebt hat …oder? Als Deko vielleicht? Denn wie sollte das sonst gemacht sein? Sehr kurios!
Today I have received this unexpected “ghost-meeting” card from @B-Engel:
I don’t understand if it’s an official without ID (but I’m not supposed to receive any at the moment) or a RAS-card. Thanks a lot anyway!
I am so happy about this card I sent today. I’ve been hanging on to it for ages, waiting for the perfect profile, and it’s on its way today!
Edit 07.03.2021: it’s arrived: GB-1350127
From “Good night stories for rebel girls”
(for the sake of everyone, I’ll stick to english… )
I don’t think that “Einschreiben R” label was put there by the sender… the postcard I received had a Lithuanian barcode sticker on the bottom, and the sticker from Deutsche Post was put across the (officially stamped) Lithuanian stamp. So whatever is happening currently, Deutsche Post seems to think a postcard is registered mail when in fact it isn’t…
