184TH CARD ~ CANADA

Private Card 


from~
my Friend Gilles!!!
sent while on vacation in Calgary, Alberta, Canada


Photo of: Tiger from the Calgary Zoo (Alberta, Canada)

"The Calgary Zoo's tiger habitat is home to four Siberian (Amur) Tigers: Kita, Katja, Vitali and Baikal.  The Amur tiger is the largest in the world. They are an endangered species, with only an estimated 450 left in the world"



This was actually the very first piece of mail I got at my new apartment (we moved in September).

At that time Gilles was away on a trip to Calgary- though, I think he went just to get out of helping us move! 
Lucky Gilles got to go to  Calgary Zoo  and while he was there he bought me this fantastic card! Unfortunately he didn't actually get to see the tigers as they were not out when he was there. 


I was so happy he thought of me and I was thrilled to get mail so soon at my new home! 

Thanks Gilles!

Yes- you are seeing what you think you are seeing.
These are wooden post cards.
Frigging wooden post cards.
To say that these may be the best thing I have ever seen would not be an under statement.

The wood is SUPER thin. It blows my mind that they did not some how crack or spilt in the mail.

The designs are simply great. Colleen knows my tastes perfectly.

She writes;

"I think the hog dog is my favourite because of the cane"

That sentence made my entire day. Seriously.
One of the best things I have ever seen.
