Y is for yellow

 The Sunday Stamps journey through the alphabet is on Y, and I feel yellow might be a popular choice. This cheerful, bright sunflower from Poland is perfect on this cold (snowy?) day in Ohio.

Thursday postcard hunt: Light - snowy scenes

 Today's postcard hunt theme is snowy scenes, and I recently received this from Middelburg in the Netherlands. The sender wrote, 'It never really snows in this part of the Netherlands,  so when it does it is truly magical.'

 My first postcrossing card received this year, and it is a beautiful dragon sent from Russia.

What kind of unusual animal would you like to see on a Christmas card/postcard? Or do you prefer the traditional ones?

 More Christmas mail arriving in 2026, I love it. Eva commented that there shoud be more postcards with chickens, and then a Christmas chicken arrived in my mailbox from Carroll!

It's still Christmas - Little Bear

 First mail of the year from Fafa arrived in this great envelope


Christmas Winnie the Pooh, who is, delightfully, Winnie l'Ourson (little bear or cub) in French. My favorite name for the characters in French is Coco Lapin for Rabbit. Ooh, la, la!

W is for water

 The theme for this week's Sunday Stamps is the letter W.

I have two beautiful stamps from France to share. The first commemorates the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference, held in Nice this year. The conference goals were to work on ocean conservation and sustainability. 



The second, from Fafa, focuses on conservation of the unique biodiversity of Mediterranean nature reserves.

Postcard hunt Thursday: Light - sunshine

 Happy New Year,  everyone!

January's theme is Light, and today is sunshine. Looking through several postcards I had a lot with blue skies, and none with the sun itself. 

This card from Eva is perfect, wishing everyone all the best for 2026. Hopefully the sunglasses are needed for a sunny outlook, rather than a raging dumpster fire ;)



Do you like to get away in the middle of winter to somewhere sunnier? Do you live somewhere with a lot of bright sun, even in winter?
