Three from the United States!

February 13, 2014

I've been having bumper days of receiving cards lately, and
February 13th was no exception.  These three cards are all from the United States.

Which one(s) do you like?

Monika sent this card with her greetings from Wisconsin.  She writes that she is from Poland but now lives in the US.  She's 22 and a volunteer at a Retreat Center.  She was in Chicago once and she really liked the huge buildings.  She thinks that Michigan Ave. is amazing a lot of shops, restaurants and nice views on Lake Michigan :-)

Nancy sends her greetings from a place near Denver Colorado.  She hopes I enjoy this postcard of James Dean.

Her favourite movies: The Sound of Music, Fried Green Tomatoes, Love Actually, Sophie's Choice.

-She's not a big fan of the wizard of Oz.  

She hopes I am happy and Well! Peace!

I do like this card. I haven't seen this particular portrait of James Dean before.

Interesting stamps!  I quite like the Kwanza one, and the lighthouse one would appeal to a lot of people.

Dana says, "Hello from Oceanside, California!" She got the cards because she remembers Puffin books as a kid, but the set had quite a few she had never seen growing up. This was one of her favourite covers, but she doesn't think she read it.  She sends her best wishes.

I took ballet classes as a child so I loved this postcard :-)

An interesting group of stamps.  There is no relationship between any of them, but I do like them!
