Women on Postcards | P Is for The Princess and the Pea

Illustration from the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen The Princess and the Pea, by Anton Lomaev.

Mazes and Labyrinths are a favorite subject, but I think it's not easy to find postcards that show them. This postcard was sent by Nata (Russia) via Postcrossing.

One octopus, two octopuses, three octopuses...

Letter sent by Phillip (the USA).

Beautiful

By David Sarmento

A friend sent me this postcard simply because, as he wrote, it is a beautiful illustration. I agree. And... is it not even more beautiful that he took the trouble to send it?

International Moon Day

International Moon Day (IMD) is a United Nations-proclamed annual celebration held on July 20 to mark the anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon by Apollo 11 in 1969. IMD serves as a platform to educate, inspire, and promote awareness about the past, present, and future of sustainable lunar exploration and utilization.

Bryon sent a postcard to celebrate it!
