In my profile on Postcrossing.com under my likes I asked for women from different cultures. Silvana from Bali, Indonesia sent me this one. She writes that by custom most Balinese women were usually topless until the 1960's. She also said that most villagers cover there heads with towels but she did not know the reasoning behind it! 
The back of this one says "I always would dream, that I had such plait. I think it came from a woman in Russia but because it was sent in an envelope I am not sure b/c that is all it had on the back. She does however have very pretty hair!
This sure is a cute one from Siny in the Netherlands. It also had a Postcrossing stamp which made me so very happy along with flower stickers. :)
This handmade card of a knife thrower is from right here in TX. It was sent via a swap from Sarah in Lufkin. I love carnival and circus themed postcards especially vintage styles and she said she had the perfect match for me. I concur!
This isn't the best photo of this adorable Moonin card from Finland. Moonin is a very famous character over there. Henna, the sender of this card asked for one of my Hello Kitty postcards so we swapped. :) I love the glitter and the colors of this one. As a bonus she sent a Moonin stamp and Hello Kitty stickers too!
Another Fin woman sent me this card of this lady picking flowers. I am wondering if all of Finland's stamps are this cool? They are so much fun and different, right?
I LOVE mermaids. I sent a postcard to Karen in Finland (seeing a theme, yet?!) , via postcrossing , and she loved it so much that she asked for my address to send me a thank you postcard. I was so happy to see this lovely surprise in my mail box a few weeks later! Ginger Kelly is the artist and she happens to be Australian. She titled this one appropriately, Sunbathing.
I do have some lovely postcards to share from my dear pen pal in Russia as well as a couple pretty beach postcards from a pen pal in Australia. I will be sure to post them here in the near future...
