Thank you Kirstin! Love the card...you know now that I think of it...I think I have actually been to the Zoo in Hannover. BUT I could be confusing it with the Basel Zoo in Switzerland...my point is ...I'm pretty sure that I have been to Hannover- I should ask my Mom because she would remember :P Thanks again! I hope you get MY letter soon!

I have never seen a card like this before! It is a panaramic view - so the card itself is super long (had to do it in two scans). The neat part is that it folds up to a regular size post card and when you open it up you see the picture!


Thank you so much Sandra! What a unique card! I wish I could find some cards like this around here! I was excited to read that you used to live here in Nova Scotia! How cool! I myself have been to Switerland many times as a kid!

This is a intresting card not only because it is a Moomin card but because although the card is from Finland- it was sent FROM Cyprus- so it has Cyprus stamps on it! I love when cards have a story! I was alos sent (by Kalevi) a card from Cyprus! So super thoughtful! I love both cards!

Thank you Kalevi! So thoughtful of you to send me a Moomin card (one of my request!) I think it is so pretty! I love the sparkles on it! This is my first and only Moomin card and I was SO excited when I saw it in my mail box! ALSO the fact that you sent me TWO cards (another from Cyprus on your vacation!)

Photo of:
1) "The focal point of Medina's Public Square- the Gazebo- is an exact replica of a Victorian gazebo built in 1879"

2) "After the great fire of 1870 destroyed most of the buildings around Medina's public square, the merchants rebuilt nearly everything between 1870 and 1895. They thus created the elegant examples of the latest Victorian styles of architecture."

3) "Built in 1841 in the Greek revival style and remolded into Victorian style in 1873, the Medina County courthouse is listed in the National Register of historic places."


Thank you Cynthia! Of the six cards that you sent me I picked my favorite three and plan to share the others with some fellow collectors! I love them all so it was a little hard to choose! Your hometown is lovely! Thanks again!
