This beautiful card arrived in my mailbox from Slovakia. Sonja sent it with a long and friendly message on the back. She also mentioned the stamps she sent, which is rather unusual (but great!) When I put stamps on my postcard, it is the last thing I do in the process...there's no room to write about them on the card. I tend to write a lot!

Dearest Helen!!
Friendly greetings to you from the other part of the world-Europe, very small country called Slovakia. I live in its capital, "Bratislava", Vajnory is part of our town.
What a story ๐ From Canada to Japan!
Had a very good penfriend in Okinawa. Japan is my travelling dream, I hope to visit one day. I love to discover new places.
I am a wedding specialist, had a busy season. If free weekend, I love to bike and travel.
The bigger stamp shows Slovak Natural Heritage - Ice Caves - It is so unique.
Enjoy the upcoming time & good luck to you & your husband.
Love Sonja"
The larger stamp below is a picture of the ice caves that Sonja mentioned above.

I like the postcards about crafts related to the sender's place. I'd like to find more of these postcards in the postcards shops!
I think that the recipient like to read about the stamps, and especially if we send mail to distant countries/cultures. My tip is to stick the stamps first, then write down the address, and then the message. If I did otherwise, I had never room for the stamps and the address! :)
I very rarely stamp the card first. For me, it is the last thing I do! I never make up my mind what stamp to put on the card until the last second.
I don't write about the stamps since I really don't know that much about them. Even if I found some information, it would be in Japanese. :-(
I've found that I have to really seek out crafty cards, and when I see them I buy them...sometimes more than one!
Hi Helen, Very unique stamp and interesting card as well! Neat post!
Thanks John, glad you like it. It is a lovely stamp.
