Two more Findus cards

2347 - From Monica in Sweden:-


It is Findus, it is a cat, it is reading...  Where on earth am I going to file it?

2350 - From Eva in Morocco.  This card meant a lot to her so it was very kind of her to part with it.


2336 - Stamps from Ukraine

I have featured stamps from Ukraine before and have received many more than I have blogged about.  But I had to mention this one -  Katya often sends me minaiture sheets and this is one of the nicest yet:-

Clocks


I have decided to collect postcards and mail art of CLOCKS during 2015. They can be clocks in any form - I bet there is a clock postcard in your collection of cards to send. So any will be gratefully received and will be posted on a blog specifically devoted to clock cards - see here.  




If you haven't corresponded with me before please feel free to e-mail scriptorsenex at gmail dot com to ask for my address. All cards and mail art received will generate a card from me to you so if we are not regular correspondents please put your address on the card. 
Thank You!

This series is one of my favourites from any country

Findus



2188 - It was Monica, my Swedish friend, who introduced me to Findus the cat and his owner Pettson. (Can cats have owners?  I think not!).



Since then I have had two more (2279 and 2293) from Susanne.




Aren't they delightful.

Some November Postcards

My scanner is not working properly.  As a result I can't show some of the cards I wanted to but I still have plenty to show you.

2179 - From Anastasia in Belarus, another Blue Cats card for my collection.  This one has the delightful title 'Apotheosis of Motherhood'.

2177 - A postcrossing card from Tatsiana in Belarus - another orange cat by Irina Zeniuk, the artist of the blue cats.


2158 - This card arrived by snail mail as a postcrossing card from Gite in Latvia.  Or perhaps we should describe it as tortoise mail.


2176 - This postcrossing card from Russia came from Anon. who commented it would make q good emblem for Postcrossing...

2184 - From Susanne in Germany (one of many she has sent me) came this super card of Trinity College Library, Dublin.


2188 - And one of many from my friend Monica in Sweden - It's from "When Findus was Little and Disappeared", a children's book illustrated by Sven Nordquist.  (Findus is the cat!)


2191 - From Dai Li in China I was fortunate enough to receive yet another Chinese UNESCO World Heritage Site.  She also sent me some trinkets from her holiday in Japan this year.  So kind.
