This postcard comes from Canada.  It’s pretty cool because if you chop it in half, it becomes two bookmarks.  On the back of each one is a quote (trust me on this, I forgot to scan it).  I like the postcard too much to cut it in half, but I really like the idea.

This awesome card comes from a woman located in Finland.  It’s even brighter than the picture in reality.  I have to say, this is one of my favorite postcards to date.  When I buy my own house, I will decorate my bathroom this way.

This gorgeous card comes from a woman all the way in Taiwan.  When I think of what Heaven must look like, this pretty much sums it up.  I would love to just sit by the water with a book–ugh, it’s almost torture to be in front of a computer when I could be searching for this exact spot.

This postcard comes from a lovely woman in Indiana.  I would adore owning a dress like this one (yes, for swing dancing).  Let’s all be honest though–if I ever owned something that looked like the dress in the postcard, I’d spend most of my time recreating this pose to see who recognized it.

Here’s a gorgeous postcard sent to me by my good friend Zoe.  Talk about beautiful–these are my favorite trees.  When I was born, my grandfather helped plant a cherry tree in front of my house.  For a long time, it bloomed before any other tree, and made me happier than a clam in sauce.  Around the time I entered high school, it started to die on one side, so my mom decided to cut it down.  It’s not the same, but I taped this postcard to my window.  Now I get to see blossoms all year!

Also: Zoe drew a teeny TARDIS next to the tree.  You can only see it if you own a sonic screwdriver (which I do, of course).

Paul from Ohio sent me this postcard of an abbey he spends time in during lent.  He assures me it is the most peaceful place you can imagine–it certainly looks that way from the card.  Looking at it almost makes me feel like I’m looking at a time far before 2011.

This one comes from my awesome pen pal Erin, who is teaching young children in France.  She says the two boys in the postcard look exactly like two from her class.  The kid in the back has the best expression on his face.  So adorable!

This awesome-shaped postcard comes from a woman named Yang in Taiwan.  You can’t see it from the picture, but there are amazingly beautiful stamps on the other side, which is also in color.  I especially like that it’s not the typical rectangle shape.  What a great postcard!

This one comes from Jojan in the Netherlands.  The postcard is of a medieval meat market turned into a place for fairs and other cool gatherings.  The place looks absolutely beautiful, but my favorite part is the giant rock under the table.

This adorable kitty postcard was sent to me by a woman from the Ukraine named Helen.  I think it’s a perfect card to send to a studying librarian!  I’m almost positive I look exactly like this when I’m about ready to call it quits while editing.
