September NA RR - Princess Diana Guyana Stamps

A lovely card from Olga showing various Princess Diana stamps from Guyana.  Thank you, Olga! 

England - The Queen in London

Another beautiful postcard featuring Queen Elizabeth.  This one came to me from Louise in London.  I love it!

Belarus - At the Mill Oil Painting

Maria chose this lovely postcard  for me featuring a 1954 oil on canvas painting.  Thank you Maria! 

Swap - Mike Kelley Exhibit

I would love to see this Mike Kelley exhibit in person.  Titled "More Love than Can Ever be Repaid" this 1987 exhibit features handmade stuffed animals and afghans on canvas, as seen on the wall. 

The table exhibit on the left is titled "The Wages of Sin" and features wax candles on wood with a metal base. 

They are both gorgeous but More Love really speaks to me.  I see so many craft items I remember and love in it: granny squares, yarn octopus, macrame (possibly) owl and so many more. 

Thank you Abra!  I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to see this in person. 

Swap - Life is Beautiful

Another Leonid Afremov postcard.  His work is so lovely! Many thanks Siuzanne!

Swap - Cindy Baker

Cindy Baker is a very cool artist based in Canada. This card is from her appearance in 2009 at the ANTI-Contemporary Art Festival in Finland.  Great postcard!

Swap - Cows Harley-Dairyson

Cows Ice Cream cards never fail to make me smile.  Thank you Joanna for another winner!  Love it!
