Here are the postcards I received when I was away for a week. =) Now I have a lot of postcards, which I treasure very much. If you have postcards that you don't want, I'd be very happy to take it from your hands.

If you'd like to exchange postcards with me, I'd be very happy to do so.

Postcrossing - Postcard from Germany (DE-146534)

This is by far the most unique postcard I have ever received through Postcrossing.com. Karin Buth sent it to me from Gelsenkirchen, Germany. I love the rubber stamp that she used. She coloured the stamped image using colour pencils and glued it onto a piece of manila card. It's is so simple and cheap but unique and it is one of a kind! Love the idea!

The stamp is beautiful too. It's a picture of a Swedish author, Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002). She is the author of the Pippi Longstocking series.

I am thinking of getting some rubber stamps with sentiments. Sentiments are sentences or phrases that you see on greeting cards like 'Happy Belated Birthday' or 'Be My Valentine'. On rubber stamps, these sentiments are usually carved in beautiful fonts and you can reuse it over and over again.

I have surveyed for prices of rubber stamps everywhere in PJ and KL but they are really expensive. A small one sized approximately 1.5 x 1.5 inches is sold for about RM25 to RM30 per piece. There's no way I would buy it for now. I can't wait to receive my rubber stamps from a swapper friend. I'll take some photos when I receive them. =)

Postcrossing - Postcard from Slovenia (SI - 4137)

I received this postcard yesterday. I love it! It's an illustrated map of Slovenia. I love the pretty stamps too.

You can read about Slovenia here.

Postcrossing - Postcard from Estonia (EE-20084)

I received my first postcard through Postcrossing yesterday. It's a postcard from Estonia of its capital Tallin. The postcard is of the old town, I bet it is more developed now. It's beautiful and it is really interesting, seeing unique buildings in another country. I love the bright red/orange roofs. =)

Jaanika wrote a poem by Juhan Luv, an Estonian poet. It is interesting that she'd wrote that instead of writing about herself. I really like it.


I googled Estonia and read more about the country.

Estonia, officially the Republic of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti or Eesti Vabariik) is a country in Northern Europe in the Baltic region. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by the Russian Federation. (taken from Wikipedia)

I am hoping to receive more postcards soon. I will definitely take photos and share with you guys here. Happy blogging and have a great weekend! =)
