This is officially my first International postcard from my postcrossing adventures! It came in a bright pink envelope along with a short letter. The sender is a girl in her early twenties that lives on the Southeastern coast of France. When I looked on a map she seems quite close to Spain. She speaks several languages, Spanish included. The letter told me a bit about herself and expressed she would like to be pen pals and stay in touch. I think it sounds so exciting! A great start to my postcrossing exchanges.

My next few cards all arrived within a few days of each other. This pretty potted African Violet comes from a Mom in Canada. In my postcrossing profile I stated that I like flowers so this was either a thoughtful one or a very luck one! :) She lives on a small island on the eastern coast. The postage was actually part of this card so it did not come with a stamp.

Although this is not a postcard I have to admit I was quite happy to get this one. I love mermaids and handmade cards so this was a perfect card for me. It was handmade by a lady in her early fifties from Rotterdam in the Netherlands. From the map it looks like she is about an hour south of Amsterdam. I loved that the mermaid is playing with a seahorse. I think my dog was my seahorse friend and I was her mermaid in another life.   :)

This last one is a bonus card! My very first card I sent from postcrossing was the Wonder Woman card. As I mentioned in that blog I sent the same girl a card with a bird after I read her profile. She was so thankful that she sent me a postcard from her home in the Netherlands. It looks like she lives near the south east coast of The Netherlands. Looks like she is only an hour north of Brussels, Belgium. (73 km) She writes and says that they are famous for mussels in her province, Zeeland. I have never had mussels but will certainly have to try them if I find myself in Zeeland.
