States Project | The Evergreen State

If I had to choose only one of all the interesting facts about the state of Washington, I would hesitate between Walla Walla wine, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and the Maltby Café Cinnamon rolls. I had not heard about any of these things before getting this States Project postcard!

Is Still Sakura Time Somewhere?

Postcrossing postcard sent by Hiroko (Japan).

Collage on envelope sent by Laura (the UK).

Sunday Stamps | The White Clown

Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is The Colour White. So... some white clowns for you to enjoy!

States Project | The Green Mountain State

 

This is the Vermont postcard belonging to Bryon's States Project: the state with the highest ratio of cows to people (but it is not America's Dairyland!). It seems they make very good soft serve (creemee), ice cream and... goat cheese?!?

By the way, I think they used exactly the same cow in both postcards!

Year of the Snake (III)

Postcard made with reused materials sent by Fabienne (France). I like that the well-designed selvedge of the stamp is included!

States Project | The Equality State

At first sight, I thought that the mail monsters had attacked this new instalment of Bryon's States Project... And after a closer look, I realised it is a geyser!

Mailing Secrets

A Postsecret published last Sunday:

I love finding new random post offices
to send my secrets from!

But I was terrified while talking these pics that
the workers would think I was panning a terrorist plot!

Postal Silliness

Sometimes, tiny details on the envelopes or the back of the postcards make me smile...

Dark Hollow Falls, 
Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

For today's Sunday Stamps, dedicated to Waterfalls & Rivers, the three stamps I have got from the 2023 USPS series Waterfalls.

Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River
 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Grotto Falls
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee

Year of the Snake (II)

Year of the Snake postcard sent by Bryon (the USA) with perfectly matching stamps.

Same from the Netherlands! I like that Heleen included the stamp with the selvedge (which actually got the postmark).

States Project | America's Dairyland

Although it is not the state with the highest rate of cows to people (spoiler: it is Vermont, according to these postcards), Wisconsin is nicknamed America's Dairyland. To the point that people from Wisconsin, and especially the Green Bay Packers fans, are called Cheeseheads. 

I had to look up almost everything that appears on this postcard. Clearly, I did not know nothing about this state!

You can see here all the States Project postcards sent by Bryon and so far uploaded.

Music City & Music Mail

The Tennessee postcard I uploaded the day before yesterday arrived together with this one sent by Phillip (the USA), celebrating the music city... with the most appropriate stamps:

Actually, it is not unusual to get musical mail. This postcard was sent by Pawel (Poland), is a poem for children to learn the alphabet in Kashubian language.

On this envelope send by Micu (Hungary), there is a stamp that celebrates Veszprém as a 2023 European Capital of Culture.

Happy (Mail) Year

This postcard was written by Bryon in January. It got a postmark in that month, and then another in February. Eventually, it reached me the last week of March. But we are still in 2025, are not we?
