Postcard Swap

[Carrie]

Just a quick note to anyone who is expecting or has sent postcards to the UK - we've got the joys of postal strikes at the moment, so expect things to take longer than normal.

Thanks jacky (wackyjacy1) for your postcard. Spanish missions are really beatiful and they are in quite good condition.

 

Dan and Carrie, your postcards are on the way.

That is bad news from the culture that invented the "penny post."

Thanks for letting us know, Carrie. The one I sent you is probably stuck there, too.

Received lovely cards from Judy and Andy. I think the rest must be delayed due to the holiday here and the strike in the UK.

 

Sent one to Nibble, despite the strike. It'll be a surprise...you'll probably have long forgotten and it will show up. Written in Havana Brown, as requested.

 

I sent a few cards out to people I've already sent cards to, but I had to try out my new pen last night. Of course if you don't wish to send another I'm completely fine with that. Using a new FP is joy enough for me!

Hmmm, thought you'd maybe received mine by now...if I can find a Rockies-themed postcard, I'll send you another, coco

Have sent cards to: Andy, King Joe, Nibble, Carrie, and Alejandro in Argentina.

 

Sent to and received cards from: Shelley, Frederic, Judybug, Penlover, Phtalo and Superbus.

 

Also sent one to Oboejuan but alas, she didn't send one to me...can't complain though as I got three letters from her today.

I have 2 lovely cards with ducks/decoys on them. They are really pretty (millis bought them for me). I would like to send them to some nice people. Or some nasty people. Whatever. Let me know if you would like one.

you need to send one to Katie! I can get more for you if you like.

I received two more beautiful cards this Saturday.

 

Laura, I have to say, your handwriting is absolutely gorgeous. And I thought I wrote small!! I haven't hung the card up yet because I can't decide which side I want showing, that wonderful beach scene or your handwriting. My writing is nowhere near that nice, my apologies! :embarrassed_smile:

 

frederic, that statue is really fascinating, thank you for sharing!!

Hey Coco,

 

It arrived yesterday. I'm wondering if there isn't some kind of sick-out at my post office or something. Many of the cards I've gotten are postmarked nearly two weeks ago (domestic)! I figured the holiday would delay everything by a day...maybe two, but yeesh! Anyway, thank you for the card!! Lovely ink, too!

 

Millis, I got yours yesterday as well. Thank you! So many inks....so little time. I really must put some of those on my shopping list. Gorgeous scene on the front, too. Thanks again!

Thanks,

No apologies! I'm glad you enjoyed it - and please accept my delayed thanks for your lovely card!

Not to mention precise -- I think I'd need guidelines and some time!

Thank you Pat for your postcards from Los Angeles. They are nice, and the Havana Brown Ink is wonderful and creates a magnificent contrast of colours. Thank you again.

[millis]

Postcards received today from Nibbles and Carrie, both in England. I still have a few from Western Canada if anyone is interested.

I would like to participate in the postcard swap. I welcome cards from anywhere in the world (but I have to admit to a certain sentimentality for Hungary.)
