The Great SDMB Winter 2015 Postcard Exchange!

Hey, me too!

My two cards from Baker tout the Kansas State Flower (sunflower) and the “Kansas Native” Buffalo (Bison?). Did you know that the state motto was Ad astra per aspera, meaning “To the stars through difficulties”? Well now you do! Thanks!

The card I got from Baker is a cool night shot of Sydney Harbor. Ta! (Mundane blondebear/Oz trivia:I was there 12 years ago this week when activists painted “No War” on the Opera House)

Got my card from the Great White North - minionkat comes through with the Calgary Stampede.

I have now received all cards.

Fixed that for myself.

One of the cards I mailed out hasn’t been received yet. Hopefully it will show up down under in a day or two. I have a backup/replacement ready to send if necessary.

I got two cards yesterday from Teuton, all the way from the UK. One had a black and white photo of Stonehenge taken many years ago. I’ve got all mine now, many thanks to Teuton, Fluffy, and Helena. This was fun.

I received my third card. This one from The Butterfly’s Ghost. It shows the neat roof structure of Cologne Central Station.

I received a gorgeous postcard from Blue Mood of the Tower of London Poppies exhibit. I don’t know how you knew I was interested in art, but I truly appreciate seeing so many views of the exhibit vicariously!

Since no one received the ones I sent last week, I will send more tomorrow. This is not exactly the boonies up here, so I have no idea how they all went astray. I put them in the drive-up box for stamped mail and assumed they would be okay.

I’ve received two cards so far

A nice shot of a helicopter base from Tonyfop that my 9 year old loves.

And a scenic valley called Cache La Poudre from “Jo”, which I deduced to be MsJinx in Colorado

I thought I was all set, but I came home today and there was another card from Lsura. It’s a fun retro one from Chattanooga. Thank you!

It looks like my card to Switzerland has not made it to its destination yet. :frowning:

Received a postcard of the Rocky Mountains from MsJinx which makes me quite envious. Gorgeous mountain views, fresh air, and mention of elk. A far cry from the crowded city street outside my window!

I’ve now received all of mine - thanks everybody.

It arrived this morning, as did the card form JayRay. Thaks to both of you!

I’m glad to hear that. You’re welcome.

I received my third card this morning (probably yesterday actually, but I didn’t check the mail until this morning.) It’s the lighthouse in Michigan City, Indiana, from Personal. I didn’t know they had lighthouses on lakes. Good luck, Personal, in your quest to buy it!

Thus, I have received all my postcards, and all the ones I sent have also been received. Karen out!

I’ve been away from home a bit, but I came home today to find not only a lovely scene of a log cabin by a lake (complete with lawn chairs) from JWT Kottekoe, but also another two cards, featuring funny cats, from Fluffy Picklesniffer!

Mine hasn’t gotten there? :frowning: It’s in a yellow envelope. If it doesn’t arrive in the next few days, I’ll send another.

:smiley: Oh good! I was afraid my cats might um… scare you guys… but by the time I really thought I probably shouldn’t send them… I had dropped them in the mailbox. Oops… it’s been a small worry since then… :o

No need for worry! I love them. :slight_smile:

I am the lucky recipient of not one, but two lovely postcards from JoseB. The first is a sweet looking cat advertising soap, and the second is a nostalgic print of babies in the bath. Both have the look of the nineteenth century, and they are very charming.

Thank you!

Yay!

I got a THIRD postcard on Sat’day, from Personal.

It depicts the amazing Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore … where I used to visit as a very young child. Sandy and fun!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd … the card also shows a Nuclear Power Cooling Tower. Glad that it hasn’t blown up on you or yours.

Thanks for sending and sharing.
