A monkey postcard from Hong Kong

Hi all, long time no see :)
A week ago I got a very cute shaped  monkey postcard from Hazel in Hong Kong:


I will sound a bit nasty now maybe, but to be honest I was a bit disappointed in this postcard :T
I was hoping to see more text or at least decoration in it's place.
She wanted a Findus postcard and to be able to swap with her I had to spend two days searching for  Findus and Pettson postcards.
I also decorated the postcard nicely with stickers and washi tape and I wrote a lot about the Småland region.
Ofcourse it's up to the sender how they want their card to look, but I personally always do my best to make postcards look nice with interesting stuff to read.
Why bother with postcard swaps otherwise?
That's my logic though :P
I could understand that she run out of tapes or stickers, but writing interesting text is always a good solution to such situation.
She knew also that I'm sending her a well decorated postcard and written on whole writing place. 
I was really looking forward to this swap but I got a little sad how little thought was put into it while I went my butt out to find her that special postcard series she wanted (which she also knew took time).
Next time I won't do any special errands for others  like this, that's for sure :P 
Well, at least the postcard itself is cute x3

Cat postcard from Japan

Hi all!

As mentioned this month I don't have too much swaps going on, but I will try to update you eventually with rest of my collection in a free time :)

Here comes a postcard that arrived to me on friday May the 5th:

The postcard was sent by a girl called Yoko from Japan :)

I love the fact that Yoko has her own stamp with her name on.
I also adore the way she writes :)

My collection of Tarusov postcards

Hi all!

Since I will have very few  swaps this month I decided to share with you my collection of Russian  Tarusov pin up postcards. :)

This and the Terkoty postcard series are  the only European/Russian postcards that suits my taste :)

How can you not like Tarusov postcards? Just take a look at those beautiful illustrations!


 A lovely vacation postcard from Maria :) 

 This postcard and the next one  come from a swap with a girl called Katya

Katya used some huge stamps to decorate the postcards, I also love the fact that she introduced me to fun facts behind the Tarusov card series and why do they happen :) 

 This winterly postcrossing postcard was sent to me by Elvira :) 

 Another cute Postcrossing postcard sent by a girl called Lydia.
I love how cosy the illustration is, and the surprise look on the woman's face :D 
Not fun having the postcards getting wet because of a cat,lol.

Last my favorite postcard sent by an uknown swapper (well, I don't remember who has sent it to me,lol)
I adore this postcard because I find it very funny :)
The young sexy and beautiful girl surrounded by babushkas checking out on her postcrossing stats.
The girl getting happy to see one of her cards being registered.
This one is one of my favorites in my whole collection and I love that the girl took her time to draw a little fox too. :)

That's all for now, thanks guys for reading :3
