it started as random ramblings (that I'm still blaming on Heddy) about life, guiding, Pax Lodge, knitting, postcards and whatever else spewed forth from my keyboard...it hasn't changed too much, except now J is part of our life. And well, I write a lot about her and not as much (as I used to) about those other things

Germany, the Netherlands, Belarus and China: Five people, a cat, a dog, and a house
Postcard from starfarer from Germany
Description: Schwalenberg Town Hall in Westfalia
I love this painted (and maybe carved?) building – so beautiful. This card came with a pretty unique stamp – it’s a scratch and sniff lemon!
Postcard from alida29 from the Netherlands
Description: From “Jip en Janneke” written by Annie M. G. Schmidt
This is the second Jip en Janneke card that we’ve received. I think they’re cute! This card also came with a Postcrossing stamp. It's the third one down on the right side if you click over to the Postcrossing site.
Postcard from currant_m from Belarus
Description: Belarusian national clothes. Costume of Liahavichy region.

Random tidbit about postage stamps: Switzerland was the first country to produce scratch-and-sniff stamps. It was chocolate scented and came in packages of foil to make the book of stamps look like an actual chocolate bar.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention my ex worked for SwissPost, as did his parents?
The Swiss do the little details so well...that stamp sounds VERY cool!
