A miscellany

Here are just a few of the wonderful cards I have received in the past couple of months.

4266 From Susanne in Germany – one of the super Findus and Pettson cards by Swedish author Sven Nordqvist.



4269 From Monica in Sweden – Barn Elves by Eva Wilsson


4307 Malaga in Spain from Eva in Morocco.



4308 From Danielle in the USA – The Knitting Girl (1869) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.


 4313 From Heleen in the Netherlands – the Rijksmuseum library.



4327 And another elf – this time one of Lennart Helje’s – the King of the Forest – from Monica.

Trains and trams

Trains and trams are not a subject I particularly collect so I more often send them than receive them.  This is one I sent to Yoshio in my early days of Postcrossing.


This is one I sent to JarieLyn, an acquaintance in the USA who collects train postcards.  You may recognise it - it's the Hogwarts Express from Harry Potter.  It runs up part of the West coast of Scotland and Partner-who-loves-tea and I saw it a couple of years ago.


1564 - From JarieLyn in the USA.


1526 From Natallia in Belarus - a super card which the trains merely create the background for.
