Postcards for the weekend: Coffee, tea

This weekend's theme for 'Postcards for the weekend' is 'Coffee, tea, pastries'.

I love to drink coffee on my own, while doing some home or work tasks, or read a book or something like that. Enjoying the relaxed moment and the fact that I'm drinking coffee. With milk, no sugar.

But also coffee and tea can connect people. Not only by drinking together, but even from a distance, by a postcard!

Eva and I have exchanged a lot of postcards about tea or coffee.
Among them this one, a Finnish postcard, sent by Eva to the Netherlands:



More postcards which I received from Eva, showing coffee, you can see here, and here, and here. And see this one! And this, and see this one!.

On my turn I've sent a Finnish postcard from the Netherlands to Eva. I think many of you will know this two happy old ladies, drawn by Inge Löök. Drinking tea in a rather unusual, but surely cosy place:



See more postcards on tea, coffee and/or pastries via Postcards for the Weekend!

  2. Plenty of great postcards about this week's theme...must say I drink only one cup of coffee a day, with my breakfast... I'm more a water drinker! (>‿♥)

    1. O yes, water is the best drink ever!
      I drink at least three cups of coffee a day, and if not coffee, I drink water. Just water from the tap ('gemeentepils' some name it, bij jullie ook?)

  3. Love the laughing postcard, a cheery brew. I looked through my old ladies postcards for this week's theme but not a cup in sight so nice to see them taking a break here.

    1. Thank you, Joy!
      The ladies have so many adventures, which is a joy to look through!
      And there must be many opportunities to share your ladies cards for the weekends :-)

  4. Ah yes, Inge Löök... Love her old ladies! I have seen this card, but not sure if it's one of the few I actually have in my postcrossing collection, or if I've just seen it online. (I also follow her on Facebook...)

  5. Hi Heleen! I'm going to revise my preference in postcrossing to people enjoying coffee/tea and not just simply coffee/tea. These postcards make me envious! Thanks for sharing and linking up.
