2 More Venice Postcards

Happy May! Let's start off the month with two more beauts from my postcard buddy Nives.

 The card says "historical regatta".  My first thought was that it'd be fun to watch. But then, my second thought was forget watching, it'd be a LOT more fun to participate!

Nice historical stamp to match the historical card. And gotta love a nice clear postmark.

Next is San Marco Square. Nives said that there are lots of people, seagulls, pigeons and expensive coffee there.   She also mentioned that the square regularly gets flooded, but the people just take it in stride and walk through the water whenever it happens.

Thanks very, very much, Nives, for being so kind to send me another two beautiful Venice postcards! :)

Patience = Venice, Italy Postcards

My postcard pal, Nives, was lucky enough to take a trip to Venice, Italy, recently. After returning home to Croatia, she mailed off 2 cards from her Venice postcard stash to me.

This one card arrived in a reasonable amount of time.  It's stunning, isn't it? The rich colors, the reflections on the smooth as glass water. Love it!

But, as the days passed, I still wondered about the  missing 2nd card.  I was losing hope that it would ever show up.

Then, one day, out of the blue, it showed up in my mailbox...in pristine condition! What a great surprise!

Thank you so much for both beautiful cards, Nives! They were both well worth the wait. :)

Wonderfully bright and colorful stamps. Nice!
