Austria - Book

Received April 30, 2026


I got this pretty card from Karin in Austria. She basically just sent greetings and translated the phrase on the front of the card for me. 


The card says, "No poet gives a finished heaven, he only sets up the ladder to heaven from beautiful earth." It was written by Joseph von Eichendorff.  It's an interesting thought!

 



I haven't seen these stamps before. The big one on the right is an old vehicle.  The yellow stamp on the left shows a Bodensee Radhaube, a hat made out of gold and silver lamé threads. It's an almost lost art to make these hats and it is made by hand.
