167TH & 168TH CARD ~ NEW ZEALAND

PRIVATE CARD
Sent by Jayne from Christchurch, New Zealand

Photo of: New Zealand (1930's Screen Print)
My dear friend Jayne sent me two more in a series of postcards I have fallen madly in love with (see the first one she sent me here). I think these cards are fantastic. I seriously plan to frame all three and hang them in my new kitchen...or maybe the hall. They are bigger then regular cards at approximately 5'x7'- so I think they will look rather sharp on display. Although I know this will be opening myself up to be asked by every new person who visits "when I was in New Zealand?..." ...then I'll get that look I get when I try to explain that I not only do I collect postcards, but I keep a blog about them. Oh well. I never once aimed to be 'normal'

~Thanks Jayne! xxoo

155TH CARD ~ NEW ZEALAND

PRIVATE CARD

Sent by Glen (a Ravelry friend!) 

Photo of: Lake Taupo, New Zealand

I received a BEAUTIFUL greeting card and a BUNDLE of post cards from Glen through a Ravelry group I am in called "Some Love in the Mail". Although all of the cards she sent me are beautiful I choose this one to add to the site because it was favorite! The sheep on the front remind me of the Ravelry connection, which of course makes me think of yarn, and then knitting, which I love even more then I love post cards!
