The cardinal is such a magnificent bird. I'm happy to add this card to my collection of postcards from my regular swap buddy Eric! He has great taste in cards and stamps! On the back of this one he treated me to a selection of bird stamps, including a cardinal of course!! Many thanks my friend!

Swap - New England Postcrossing Meetup
What's extra neat about this postcard from Heather is that I received an official postcard from one of the participants here just a couple weeks ago.
November NA RR - WPA poster - Great Smoky Mountains
Between 1935 and 1943 the WPA (Works Progress Administration) printed over two million posters in 35,000 different designs to stir the public's imagination for education, health, safety and travel.
Swap - Madonna Inn - Room 191
I love the Madonna Inn! This is room 191, Misty Rocks. Ideal for honeymooners because of it's feeling of seclusion. Misty Rocks is done in lush green colours. The wet rock effect and green colour scheme makes one feel in touch with nature.
That's one way of putting it. :)

I love front doors so this card is neat in that I get to see the front door from the inside of Edward Hopper's house. Very cool. Thank you Michele!
Netherlands - Flower Cart
This official postcard is actually just the front of a greeting card. It's gorgeous but it goes against the spirit of Postcrossing. I'm not sure what to think of it, however I appreciate the efforts taken to send it.
