Nevermore

Sent by Phillip (the USA).

The frightening back of a Postcrossing postcard sent by L. J. (the USA).

Snow Globes

Hand made envelope made by Phillip (the USA). It was sent on 16 November 2023, and arrived on 29 December 2023, bearing the First Day of Issue Postmark.

I cannot but agree.

I got more of those stamps. The first one sent from... Rudolph (Ohio)!

Guess Who Has Got a Favourite Stamp...

... And Picassian Muppets

Bryon (the USA) has sent the whole series of the 50th Anniversary of Sesame Street stamps. As a little thank you, I sent him a watercolour postcard with two of my favourite characters, Picasso-inspired (or Internet-inspired).

Muppets...

I guess this is one of the most successful USPS issue in 2019!
