Private swap. Thanks, Marla!

Russia: Fly card

Thanks to tu-zi I've got quite a few Russian fly-cards, but I decided not to post them because I'm going to use them for swaps and Postcrossing. I'll post the only one that was written for me. From now on I will not be posting blank cards I get, because I will be sending them out.

This card advertizes a campaign of a stationery store. They encourage to bring aphorisms or sayings to them so the most interesting ones could be published on postcards.
And the stamps are awesome!


Private swap. Thanks, tu-zi!

Poland: Summer Love

The sender wrote that this card was bought in France long ago. The light plays on the silver coating, so it can't be scanned. I had to take a photo of it to show it's beauty.
