Swap - Shambles at Christmas

Here's a beautiful card from my swap buddy Fiona.  Located in York, the Shambles is one of the most famous streets in the UK.  Some buildings date back to the 14th century and in some sections the road is so narrow you can touch both sides with your arms outstretched.  I love it!  Thanks, Fi!

Swap - Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos

From Fesqua I received this lovely card of the Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos. Correios is the state-owned company that operates Brazil's postal system.  

Swap - Love Is (Italian Style)

I'm a big fan of the Love Is comics and I was so excited to receive this Italian one via Russia.  Love is...the first kiss!  Awwwwwww. :)

Swap - L'alphabet. Un boiar.

This lovely card came to me from Russia but without much information.  It seems to be part of a series. 

Е.Бём. Азбука E.Bem. Das ABC Der Bojar E.Beme. L'alphabet Un boiar

Swap - Meat!

Great card from Chris.  Shame the post office has sufficiently mangled it.

Swap - Ballerina Clown

Jonathan Borofsky's controversial 'Ballerina Clown' graces the Venice Renaissance building at Rose and Main. It combines condo living with shops and resaturants. 

I remember this sculpture from my trips to visit a dear friend in Venice years ago.  It certainly does catch your eye.  

This year marks the sculpture's 25th anniversary. 

Thanks very much for this little gem, Sheena! 

Swap - Flowers

Huge thanks to Elena for sending me this cards from my PC Favourites!  Love it! 

September NA RR - New Hampshire Covered Bridge

This covered bridge in White Mountain Forest looks so charming nestled in amongst the stunning fall foliage.  Thank you Sally for this great addition to my covered bridge collection! 

Swap - Ayers Rock


Anne from Australia contacted me about a direct swap and here is the lovely card she sent me of Ayers Rock.  This massive monolith is spectacular.  The red glow is beautiful!  Thank you Anne!
