Again, was super ecstatic someone sent me an artcard — and one of Monet!

(and also thankful that the local post wasn’t rude enough this time to stamp on the front side of the card – yes they did that to my card a couple of times.T_T)

This is my first Rumcajsovi card from Czech Republic. I’m interested in the different kinds of children’s shows / book illustrations in different countries — I think these cards tell more about a city than most touristy cards would. I love this character so much as the illustration is quite adorable.

The details are quite lovely and the back of the card is just as pretty.

Furthermore, I was surprised to see another card tucked inside the envelope.

To my surprise, it was an artcard! This is my first Alfons Mucha card, and I’m really looking forward to receive more of these.

The card was unwritten and would be really great for my collection.

I quite like Mucha’s works, would love to receive more from the Czech Republic.

The Three from Prostokvashino

A nice card arrived from Russia today, and what made it even more special was that….

…the sender attached various used stamps on the back of the card.

They are really lovely, and I didn’t have any of these yet!

I love the Alice and Pooh stamps from Japan but also the following from the UK:
