I received these cards recently.
From Switzerland I received this cool cards featuring marzipan pigs. They are supposed to bring good luck for the New Year after eating them.
Jane sent this next card and says that it shows the medieval town of Esslingen in Southern Germany.
I received these cool cards later on in December.
Vygandas sent this cute tea related card from Lithuania. He didn't write much on the back of the card, sad to say. The stamp he used was also nice.

I'm Back!
I'm tenatively back at Postcrossing again. I sent a couple of cards in November and have just received 3. However, I won't be blogging as much or in as much detail. I just don't have the time anymore.
Still, my cards are nice and I'd like to show them off!
From Germany, Leonie sent this. She's a fairly new postcrosser. She decorated the card on the back too. It's cute.
Nina sent this from Finland with a gorgeous stamp and a sentiment that we can all get behind!

Barbara sent this book card to me from Germany. She wrote an interesting note on the back of the card too.
She wrote,
"Hallo Helen! I love standing in front of my book-wall →choosing a world to drop in. At the moment I read "Shaking Hands with the Devil" by Romeo Dallaire. It is hard to read but very interesting. But I also like thrilled and something like that. Wish you all the best!
Barbara"

Melanie from France sent me a gorgeous greeting card (not postcard) with a long and lovely message on the inside. I won't reproduce it here as it fairly personal, but she says that the movie of her life is Dirty Dancing: The Havana Night (ha ha). She also loves all of the Pirates of the Carribean films. She wrote that she likes US or Latin American authors like Sherman Alexie, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Marc-André wrote from Germany. He's a teacher and wrote a short note on the back. He also used a very cool stamp on the back.
He wrote,
Hello Helen,
many greetings from Berlin.
I am a teacher for maths & physics. School started again in August and we all have to wear a mask everywhere on the school ground but not in the classes during our lessons. So we want to avoid that an infection will be spread in different classes.
Stay healthy!

This card came from Wilhelma in Germany. She wrote a short but friendly note on the back of the card. She said,
Dear Helen,
My name is Wilhelma and I live in a small village of Black Forest. I'm looking forward to my summer vacation because I need a break to reorient myself.
All the best!
Wilhelma
