In: from Kazachstan

This beautiful postcard I received from Assel from Kazachstan. The illustration has been made by Svetlana Popova.

On the back nice stamps, and I learn to say 'Hello' in more languages.
And do you notice the tulips on the round stamp? My country, the Netherlands, is said to be a land of the tulips. However, tulips don't originate from our low country. Their origin is in.. the mountains of Kazachstan! Via Persia, China, Turkey and Antwerp the first tulip finally reached the Netherlands in the end of the 16th century.



Thank you very much, Assel!

In: from the United States

At first sight I didn't notice it, but suddenly it became clear. You'll probably have seen it immediately: there is a horse in her hair!
Great postcard made out of a calendar and sent by FinnBadger.

I am delighted to also have received horses on the stamps on the back side. Not one, not two but even three horse stamps!



Thank you very much, FinnBadger!
