Time for the "Middle of 2015" Postcard Exhange!

I received two postcards today!!

One from Grrlbrarian, who I must meet one day, and it’s a beautiful, antique card with a floral anchor on it.

The other from Anaglyph, all the way from Switzerland, and it’s a lovely blue patterned chaise, on a round blue rug, in a white room. I like blue and white, and it’s a peaceful picture to look at.

Thank you both!

Mine should go in the mail by the end of the week.

Excellent. Ten days before all postcards should be mailed.

Glad to hear my card arrived so promptly.
Actually, the chaise is gigantic and stands in the central hall of the main building of Zuerich University: see here, A monument to Emilie Kempin-Spyri, the first woman in Switzerland to graduate with a law degree and to be accepted as an academic lecturer.

Thanks for the postcard from Crater Lake, KarenLingel!

Received a lovely one from needscoffee–the original Starbucks in Seattle. I have visited the original KFC (extensively remodeled) in Corbin, KY and the original Wendy’s in Columbus, OH, so this was a nice addition to the (virtual) collection. Thanks!

I will be sending mine out in the next day or so–really!!

At last! Postcards away – mine went in the mail today.

I have received wonderfully cool cards and messsages from ThisSpaceForRent (business signs in St. Louis and, yes, let’s do a Dopefest!), vivalostwages (scenes of a beautiful resort in Indio, CA, that I want to go to now), Anaglyph (the awe-inspiring Matterhorn) and from **Karen Lingel **(views of Santa Clara, CA, architecture). Thank you all! Seeing these makes me want to travel.

As my always-on-the-ball co-coordinator Elendil’s Heir pointed out a day or so ago, y’all have until Friday, August 14 to get your postcards in the mail. Over this coming weekend, I’ll compile a list of who has received from whom so we can keep track and I can gently nudge the the dawdlers. It’s not time to sicc **Skald **on them yet (so, down, big guy!).

Yeah! I’ve been smiling for a while here. Forever more when I see Anaglyph I will visualize a beautiful bust. Way cool!

I got a postcard from Big Norse! It’s of the famous Mutter Museun in Philadelphis. I’ve heard of the place on the Travel Channel and the History Channel, and would love to visit. I’m not easily squicked out, so that’s a good thing.

Hurrah! I got a lovely postie with flowers from Anaglyph yesterday. It was just the perk I needed, thanks! :smiley:

Got a lovely card of an Indigo Bunting from Why Child today. Pretty!

Yes, Alphonse Mucha’s “La Nature” is a pretty girl.

Drawings by Maria Sybilla Merian

Finally back off of the road, and have 4 cards far (some already mentioned, but I had not had a chance to properly appreciate them).

Atomic Mama (1 card): Hand colored antique card “A glimpse of the Ocean from Oar-Weed Lane Showing the Oldest House in Ogunquit, Maine”

Lsura (2 cards): A shot of the oval office. I want to take a nap on one of those couches someday! Also a second card with a shot of Liberty Plaza in Georgia, and a comment regarding heat and humidity. Here in Orange County, CA it has been hotter and more humid usual - but not up to Georgia standards!

Anaglyph (1 card): Cool pic of a game of robot soccer / football at the artificial intelligence lab in Zurich.

So I am 3/3 in terms of receiving a card from each person on my list. 2 of my recipients have received a card, waiting for one more to make its way.

Mailed!

Now I will see how long they take to get to their destinations.

Got not only a card but a fold-out card celebrating the 8th Wonder of the World - The Astrodome. Talk about vintage!

Thanks, blondebear!

I got a third card, this one from anaglyph in Switzerland. Two older buildings, with large, almost window sized tiles on the front depicting various flowers, Very lovely! Thanks so much.

I got one of my cards! It’s a really cool vintage, “time saver card” - just check the boxes next to the sentiments you want to wing to your recipient! I am a “Dear Old Thing,” and grrlbrarian is “Broke” and “needs sleep!”

My cards go out tomorrow.

I received a postcard with a beautiful carousel horse on it from jayrey. Thanks so much!

I’ve received all my cards! Now I’m waiting to be sure mine have been received.

I’m sending out cards this morning. They are all written, just need the stamps. I have two sets of senders, so that will be six people. Five are in the uS and one is in Australia.

Got a second card from Why Child yesterday, a lovely bunch of lupins (No sign of Dennis Moore though).
