I’m a day late getting this post up, but we were on the road home from Chicago yesterday. This is the third year I’ve participated in Kats’ fabulous postcard swap, and every year I enjoy it more. When I got home I discovered the last of the postcards I received this year, and they are the lovliest ones yet.
The first card to arrive was this beauty from Barbara Hurst in Arizona. You really should take the time to visit her blog and see the wonderful photography there.
My next piece of happy mail came from Evelyn Spikes in Elgin, OR. Not only is the photograph lovely, but the quote is as well.
This is the second time, I’ve been lucky enough to receive a pice of art from Suzette in Texas. After a lovely quote by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Suzette closes with this lovely thought, “May the seeds of creativity find their way to your door.” Love it, and love this postcard.
I just love this rooster painted with acrylics on canvas by Meredith Gisness. I have a collection of chickens and hens I rotate through my kitchen so this fine fellow is going to find his way to the kitchen bulletin board.
Here when I arrived home was this beauty from Sheila. I’m not sure where Sheila hails from, but you can find more of her work here on her blog.
Last, by not least, was the postcard from our hostess (and my long-time blog friend), Kat. I’m so annoyed that the Portland Post Office stamped the front of the postcard rather than the back! Does anyone know how I might remove it without ruining the postcard?
Many thanks, Kat, for taking on this huge project another year! It inspires me every year, and encourages me to get my art out there. And thanks, too, to the wonderful artists whose work I received this year! All of them will be proudly displayed!
Beautiful cards! And I’m totally loving your typewriter. I have one tucked away someplace. You make me want to go find it. 🙂 See you next time!
Yes, the typewriter is awesome, I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of my Smith Corona decades ago. You got a lovely bunch of cards this year, my 3rd year, too.
Wow, you got some beauties, and what a great idea for displaying them! I may have to ‘borrow’ that next year 🙂
Lovely to meet you through the swap and Happy Easter from England x
Gorgeous cards and great blog!
I love mail call and this swap is becoming one of my favorites. Love your typewriter and your display of cards. I’m looking forward to 2015!
Great bunch. Now I’m off to visit all the links – especially from the ladies who sent me cards!
great cards!
Oh my! The typewriter! I had to look through the post a few times because I was so focused on the typewriter I hardly noticed the art! Great cards!
What a fantastic bunch of postcards! And I love how you’ve photographed them in your typewriter!
Such a lovely collection – and hey… there is one of mine! Thanks so much for posting it 🙂 I am in Wildomar, California. A small town near Temecula (wine country) which is exactly half way between Los Angeles and San Diego. Inland on the 15 FRWY. ha ha so now you know way more than you wanted to.
I love the way you displayed them all. WOW what a classic beauty! happy creative 2014 to you 🙂
This was a lot of fun. I am drooling over that typewriter:)
LOL Karen, I will send you another one! It’s always great to see your name come up in the swap, since we’ve known each other online so long. You got a wonderful collection of cards this year!
