Beautiful card arrived from Germany today! ❤

I mistook it for a postcrossing card at first when it arrived; and thought, ‘hey, this is exactly the kind of card I wanted to receive!’

And then I flipped the card to read the message and realized it was from a friend! :3 (Thank you so much!! ^3^)

There’s a plastic case punched onto the card containing what is a ‘piece’ of the Berlin wall. Amazing the kind of things you can send with your card! *A*

An automated stamp, but so pretty still. (not the plain and typical thermal kind that fades over time).

Any Direct Swap requests, just drop a comment. 🙂

A new card from Germany arrived, but with a view from Malta. (which was fine because I have never been to Malta).

This was printed by the sender herself. The quality of the card was very nice though (not the soft photo paper kind — this was postcard quality).

I wish we had a similar machine to print postcards with in my city.
