This has to be the best of the Inge Löök Aunties postcards. As Marja-Leena suggests
– perhaps they are postcrossers!
Written on the 10th February (Pancake Tuesday
to me and ‘Shrovetide’ to Marja-Leena) posted on 11th and received
on 13th. That’s pretty quick isn’t
it. Especially when compared to the previous
card which took 45 days (although in fairness to the postal system the envelope’s
frank suggests it wasn’t sent until 8th February!).
The sender says there is no lack of snow in Salo
at the moment so the stamp is very appropriate.
What is a "postcrosser?"
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one! Made me laugh first thing this morning, quite a feat in itself.
Beautiful art work. Someone has talent.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed looking at the cards.
Best always, Barbara
Postcrossing is a community of people who send and receive cards at random from other members. After joining you click the 'send a card' icon and any one of the 400,000 members names and addresses come up. You send to them and then you receive a postcard from another random member. It is truly international with only a few countries not represented. I love it. It's statistics are as follows...
