Stokholm and post

I am in Stokholm now and the very first day I found post shop where there are lots of old postcards and stamps. By the way the postcard with a girl is from Russia!



And at the pierce there are lots of mailboxes for sailors. I think it is marvelous!

Letter from Caddi

By the way about two weeks ago I got postcard from my German friend Caddi. Look at the nice bird at the right corner! The same one is on the letter itself! 
Hope after my vacation I'll finally answer to all my penpals. Because in December the post will die before Christmas and New Year.

something interesting in October

During the week I got some interesting mail, first of all I`ll show postcards. I got postcards with cats and funny one in right corner below through postcrossing and one hand-made postcard from sendsomething.net. Postcards are such a great way to find out new people :)

Some miniatures with postcards

I was writing down my posrcards sitting in my countryhouse when noticed that I see the same pictures in my real life.
We really have samovar and was eating pancakes that day and my granny has that wooden stuff with Gorodets painting of horse.
So my friends can be sure that I send them real Russian motives :)

some another topic

by the way previous week-end it was a Moscow`s birthday and the last sunny autumn day as I can see now. We walked a lot and I made some pictures which should be posted though they don`t have any connection with mail theme.

Letter from a far away friend

About three days ago I got a great envelope from my friend Yina Guerrero who has great blog about her mailbox ! Just visit it!

Thank you Yina! But it will take me some time to answer you in Spanish :)

Strange things happen

The most strange and funny thing has happened with me.
I usualy send my mail from the main post-office in Moscow. I think it is more safe and fast. But last several times I used the mail-box near my railway station. There I put the letter to a friend which photos I showed here at the beginning of August.
Today I got it back. But not because it was mis-sent or address was wrong. No! they just considered my address as an address of receiver! And it doesn`t matter that there are lots of stamps, sticker "via air mail" and that my adress was at the other side of the envelope. O_o
I was surprised! And had nothing to do but put this envelope to another one and send it again...

Rainy day

Today is a rainy day and I have an opportunity to write answers to my dear friends. I look at these letters and dream how they will fly to people to whom I would like to fly myself.

Letter to a friend

Usually I use the main post-office to send out my letters and postcards, because it is faster and just there are less chances for mail to be crushed. But now the post-office is being repaired and   I use pot-box near metro station.

Yesterday I sent a letter to my friend who used to live in UK and now has moved to Spain. I didn`t know it and was sending her postcards from my Spanish trip to UK address! Hope her neighbors will be happy to get nice postcards. But don`t think that there is a chance that they understand Russian :)

Lost/found cat

I was on my way to the post-office when i met a kitten who was crying and crying!
Some awful person has thrown it away and she was really scared to be near the highway. I picked her up and brought home. But I already have two cats and third one is too much. We try to find her home, but people are strange: they say they will come and don`t!
And because of my worries about a cat  I can`t write letters to my friends and deal with swap at all.
Some pictures of a cat :)

Spain

During my journeys I always miss my mailbox. And I always send cards. For me it is a great pleasure to write my postcard while sitting on the beach or in park:


We have already visited Valencia and Murcia and some towns near sea. 
And now we are going to Barcelona!

The first swap disappointment

I can`t keep it inside of me... I began to get swaps and most of people on swap-bot are great! They are really artistic guys and I adore every letter I get.
But today I got something...strange. The swap was about sending YOUR favorite items to your partner. What I got today?
  • postcard - ok, thank you
  • paper on which people splash perfumes to taste them in shops (without scent by the way)
  • leaf of rose which after sending looks like very old sheet of burned paper
  • post-in sheets which I have tons of in my office (so does the girl who sent me this I`m sure)
  • and the most incredible thing.... napkin! or absorbent paper from sushi restaurant!
I marked her as 5, because I can`t prove that she is not fan of napkins! Why doesn`t she mention this in her profile? Wish her lots of napkins via mail.

I really disappointed because I always prepare my swaps with love and care and this looks like a girl sent me all rubbish she had that moment.

So upset :(

Some mail in

It seems that postmen began to visit my place again and I got some mail!

 The ladies are my favorite this time!


Kitty is upset :(

And I got my first swap letter!!! So it is real :) The envelope had nice cat on its back, so I had to open envelope from its top not to injure kitty.


And one postcard from my friend Agata from UK:

Travelbook

I have a travel-book, something like smashbook but only for travel stuff.


And I suddenly realized that I have not filled it in since last summer. I found all the ads and cards I picked-up in Greece and found out that they were boring and gray in comparison with our last trip stuff. I don`t think that Greece is boring, it just means I began to be so :(
What a nice travel-pages I had when we were in Amsterdam:

or Barcelona:
or Paris:

I should pay more attention to my travel-book next trip :)

Teas Around the World 2


 Yesterday I sent out three my envelopes to the swap-partners. Hope they will reach them safe and sound! And I truly can`t wait when one of my swap-partners will get some of my swaps! I begin to think that I send it to nowhere :(
But stop this!
Here are lots of teas I have or sending and envelopes!
By the way I usually don`t use tea-bags, only to try what I`m going to send to people. I prefer leaves. But you should trust person to exchange leaves with him/her :)


Stamps are from left to right: Troops of Cossacks, cartoon "Carlson who lives under the roof (or on the roof?)" and Russian Empire Alexandr II
