Map of Sylt Postcard

I love map cards and this one is so cute. This map card features Sylt, an island off the coast of Germany. 

TOY Card

On Friday, I received another super cute TOY (Thinking of You) card from the US to US Round Robin on the Postcrossing Forum. This one is from MichelleW, the group moderator. This little card is so cute and she even included a cute fox address label.

Even more TOY postcards!

In the past few days, I've received even more TOY (Thinking of You) postcards from the lovely members of the US to US Round Robin on the Postcrossing Forum. 

From DeborahAnn, some cute little fox babies that appear to be having a chat.

This lovely little fox is from technoruby.

A cute mommy and baby fox from Sroesler (who including a pretty summer-y citrus-y color scheme on the back of the card.)

Totally unique and generous F-O-X postcards from Cruzin.

Cruzin also included super fun state stamps, including a 'Florida' one which I think is super cool because I live here. 

Thanks, everyone!!!!

The New Yorker Cover

First, can I just tell you how much I love The New Yorker covers? Like, love them. Really. Of course, I was thrilled to receive this postcard featuring a cover from June 25, 2007 with a couple who appear to be "just married" heading off in a taxi cab. 

This card comes from a Postcrossing user in Sunrise, Florida. 

Thanks!

Dennis Basso Fall 2017 RTW

What do you guys think of this mail-inspired dress from Dennis Basso's Fall 2017 RTW (ready to wear) collection? I just came across this while scrolling through Tumblr and thought it was a neat idea. I'm not a big fan of the dress, but I love the creativity behind it.

More Thinking of You (TOY) cards!

In the past few days, I've received more TOY cards for Fox's arrival from the US to US Round Robin group on the Postcrossing Forum! Wow!

Nowaglas (Jocelyn) and BeMySwaporPenpal (Tami) both sent cards.

BeMySwaporPenpal also included this wonderful four postcards from the postcard box, Animal Box: 100 Postcards by 10 Artists. I own this postcard box and I've sent many a postcard from it, including all of the fox ones, it was fun to receive them back!

From SleepyKitty (Carrie Jean) I received this cool fox postcard! I love these dapper foxes. She also used some super cute fox washi tape on the back. One of the washi I own, as well. It's cool being on the receiving end of cards and washi tape that I send to others. 

Alm74 (Amber) sent this fox card and included some lovely floral stamps on the back. 

Wow, thank you, everyone!!

Thinking of You (TOY) Cards!

I received four Thinking of You (TOY) cards from members of the US to US Round Robin on the Postcrossing forum for Fox's arrival! Very exciting and nice of the members.

From EmilyAnn in California, she also included a cool Fox in Socks stamp!

Two cards from Clouisesz in Illinois!

 Anne Geddes postcard from jamesveta in Michigan, Anne Geddes makes me nostalgic for the '90s!

Thank you so much, everyone!

Little Fox Finger Puppet Book

A lovely member of the Postcrossing Forum, gbnaabennett, sent me a cute little book for my son Fox, who was born on May 17. It was quite a pleasant surprise, she sent it was a TOY which stands for 'Thinking of You'. 

And here's a picture of Fox:

Thanks, gbnaabennett!

Maurice Prendergast Postcard

Back in May, I received this lovely Prendergast postcard from Postcrossing user UConn. I received this from US to US Round Robin #660. He said there was an exhibition nearby displaying his work at a museum in New Britain, CT. 

The painting on this postcard is a watercolor called Brittany Coast (ca. 1892-94). 

The postcard also included this lovely vintage Coral Reefs .15 cent stamp.

Thanks, UConn!

Teddy Bear Stickers

Hello again, snailmailers! I know I've been gone for a while (why do most of my posts start with that?), but going to be keeping up with the blog again.

To start here's some super-cute teddy bear bumble bee stickers I received on the back of a postcard. I love stickers, I love teddy bears, and I love bees!

 Here's the lovely Eiffel Tower postcard they were attached to:

This postcard was from Postcrossing user Blue_Fox and from the US to US Round Robin #674.
