last weeks incoming mail

Oh I love Tuesdays. Tuesdays are fun. Tuesdays are always really good mail days. Look what my ever so trustworthy mail delivery man brought today:


First thing I received was a copy of "Good Mail Day" by Jennie Hinchcliff and Carolee Gilligan Wheller. I haven't had the time yet to go through it, but I peeked at some of the mail art inside - brilliant work! Can't wait to get home and take my time to devour this book.
But this week was a good mail week in general. I got lots and lots of wonderful mail. In the first picture you can see a gorgeous vintage letter set which I found at a well known online auction site and that came earlier this week. A few gorgeous postcards from postcrossing arrived too:

 1. from Graeme (Australia) , 2. from Hanna (Ukraine) , 3. from Monika (Lithuania)

1. a gorgeous self painted postcard from Kris (USA), 2. a funny little dog from  wurlog in Vienna, 
3. this inspiration painter came form Denise (USA)

1. This beautiful view of the Charles Bridge in Prague came from Veronika as part of a private swap.
2. from another private swap this time with Suvi, came this map card of Europa. I love this card because all the countries are labeled in finish and swedish and I think it's interesting to search for speech differences.
3. all the way from Weirs Beach, New Hampshire came this gorgeous view of Lake Winnipersaukee, according to Dibbie this is a hot spot for motorcyclists and sun bathers.
4. Just one butterfly arrived this week - but a beautiful one- It's a Common Blue Morpho and was sent by Amie from Houston, Texas.

Last but not least came an amazing card from Adrienne (New Zealand). It's a maxi card with a view over Milford Sound to Mitre Peak.

Czech Republic - Brno

 
This postcard was sent by lentilki showing the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Brno - the second largest city in the Czech Republic.For me this is a very precious card because lentilki took the time to search not only for a postcard with a purple frame but also for purple stamps and even wrote a recipe for "rose syrup" on the back. 

Rose Syrup ala lentilki
Take 2 handful of dry rose petals and pour 1/2 litre of boiling water on them. Leave this for 24h in a warm place. Strain through and add 1/2 kg sugar. Boil until it gets thick then eat 2-4 spoons daily to support your health.
