A Postcard A Day and Second on the 2nd - Tuesday 2 August 2022 - T for autumnal scenes and a blast from the past

 Hello lovely ladies,

How are you all? We are in the Algarve (southern Portugal) visiting son nr 2 and his family. They are holidaying in a large villa that belongs to DIL's mum & dad. There is internet in the villa but I am scheduling this just in case.

My postcards for today are two black and white cards with an autumnal theme:

It was sent to me by Jana, who lives in Brno, the second biggest city in the Czech republic. The photographer is Michal Vitásek, a 39 year old Czech photographer.

The stamp is really lovely with a wild cat. I have never seen a wild cat. We have many streetcats here, but I don't think there are wild cats in our natural park. (We have lynx though).

My second card is from Russia

The photographer is Eunice (Yuni) Stahl, who is based in Surprise, Arizona. 

She specializes in wedding and family photos.

The card was sent to me by Olesy, who is 37 years old and lives in Moscow. He tells me he was a dance teacher before Covid ruined everything. His hobby is West Coast Swing Dancing! (In Moscow?).

I had never heard of it but here is a link to a video that shows what it looks like (video is 5 min).

The stamps are spectacular! The berries are lingon berries. Vaccinium vitis-idaea, the lingonberry, partridgeberry, mountain cranberry or cowberry, is a small evergreen shrub in the heath family Ericaceae, that bears edible fruit. It is native to boreal forest and Arctic tundra throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from Europe and Asia to North America.

The stamp on the right is obviously a Russian dish bit I haven't been able to find out what it is.

But I do see a jug of something that looks like stout. That could be my ticket to the T-Party hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard.

Today is also the second of the month and Elizabeth and Bleubeard also celebrate this with a blogpost from the past. Well here is one from August 2015 and hopefully it will put a smile on your face.

Happy T-Day, Keep smiling,

Hugs,

Lisca

Here is an old blogpost from August 2015:

Good Morning!

This first 'notice' I picked up this week is for all of you who can't resist a nice piece of material. Yes, I mean You!

(Libby Woodlands‎Quilting For You)

But I normally show you a postcard... Here is one from my collection of  postcards designed by Inge Look. Even the 'naughty old ladies' are enjoying their holiday. One of them has her bum in a tub of water! 

It was sent to me by Sakari in Finland. He lives in Turku, the oldest city in Finland. He told me he was a retired hospital chaplain. 

He did put a special I Love Postcrossing stamp on  it! How cool is that!

In case you don't know what postcrossing is.... here is the link www.postcrossing.com.

If the above images have not made you smile then the next one will and I'll end on that note.

Have a good weekend everyone and remember: "Every cloud has a silver lining".

God bless,

Lisca
