A postcard from Taiwan features a place called Dadaocheng. Love the purple pink color, very romantic matching with beautiful bright green stamps on the back too!
It’s just getting better and better in postcrossing! These two postcards arrived together just yesterday. Both came from Scandinavia and both are my favorite!
The first is from Finland. My first Moomin postcard The picture is not so colorful and you may not recognize it right away but I like the simplicity and muteness of it. Make me want to read the books to know the story!
The second one from Norway. Gorgeous scene of Efjord in Nordland. Have no idea where that is but the sender said that it’s in the northern area of the country. This shot was took in summertime but I bet the water would be freezing even the time. Look at the little red cottage, how cute is that! Wish I could see the real scene!
That’s it and my postcard giveaway is still open if you are interested
Yesterday I found a box of this cards hidden in the back of my desk drawer while I was searching for a notebook. It’s self-promo postcards I did a couple of years ago. It served me well, some of my current clients contacted me after they got the card. However, this illustration is outdated now and I still have some left in the box.
Now some of you know that I am a member of postcrossing I love sending postcards and think it will be a pity to leave these postcards turn yellow with no one other than me seeing them.
So if anyone, who are following this blog (which I’m very grateful) or those who just happen to be here, sees this postcard and loves to have my happy kissing butterfly on your desk or use it as a bookmark or whatever, email me your post address and I will be very happy to post it to you!
Here my email pilarcat.s@gmail.com
Please note that this used to be self-promo postcard so you will have my email and site address at the back as you can see on the card at the bottom right corner of the photo. And I will send it as a postcard so you will have Thai postage stamps on the back too.
You can see the big picture of this illustration in my history of drawing if you like.
This postcard from Russia came in a neat envelop yesterday evening. I have never received a postcard in an envelop before but I’m glad the sender did it because the card is very nice and I can pull the lovely tiny postage stamps off for collecting, which on second thought, I didn’t and just keep the whole envelop as it is.
The image, he said, is of the monument of George Sviridov a famous Russian composer. I like how he sits so comfortably and seems like thinking of something far away, maybe he’s humming his new composition? Beside is the gold muse goddess of literature and arts, acting on his inspirations. I wish I could see the surrounding, I assume it is some kind of public park. It should be beautiful and inspirational to deserve such a great composer, shouldn’t it?
I tried to find a sample of his songs and I think I like this one best.

The latest postcard I received via postcrossing. I’m very excited as this is the first postcard that falls in what I request, something about books especially children’s books illustration. This one is of a children’s book called Ronja the robber’s daughter by Astrid Lindgren a famous Swedish author who wrote Pippi Longstocking I haven’t read either one of them but I have already had Ronja ready on my bookshelf for very long time. Now it’s good time to finally read the book so that I know what this illustration on the card talks about ^-^
Other good thing about postcrossing is that you also have some nice beautiful stamps. I love this ones too, especially the Tiffany lamp. I also love what this Postcrosser from USA wrote, she said;
