Some great cards

It is really hard to say which one of these would be my #1 favorite...

On tosi vaikea nostaa tästä joukosta yhtä korttia ylitse muiden...

Official cards, March 22

It really makes one's heart melt when you receive such a bunch of beautiful postcards at once!

Tällainen määrä upeita kortteja kertakolauksella vetää väkisinkin suun hymyyn!

Owls and Moomins

I received these two super cute cards yesterday - the Moomin one is a private swap and the owl card is a RAS. What a surprise indeed! This is definitely one of the best aspects of postcrossing - having so kind people around!

Sain nämä kaksi supersöpöä korttia eilen - Muumimamma on swappi ja pöllöt saapuivat RASsina. Todellinen yllätys, tosiaan! Postcrossingin parhaita puolia ovat ehdottomasti ne ihanat, huomaavaiset kanssaihmiset, jotka tätä kortteilua harrastavat!

Tyrion Lannister in my mailbox and other tales

Last week passed by at lightspeed and I can't understand it's already another Monday. My mailbox has been happier than ever, but due to lack of time I haven't had the chance to sit down and sort it out... So just imagine how my desk looks like right now!

Today I have a "night shift" at work, so I'm planning to get some order to this chaos before heading there. As usual, I started with postcards - here are some gems from the past week:

Viime viikko kiiti ohitse salamannopeasti, enkä voi millään uskoa, että taas on maanantai. Postiluukku voi koko viikon hyvin paksusti, mutta ajanpuutteesta johtuen olen joutunut vain kasaamaan saapunutta postia pöydälleni - voitte ehkä kuvitella, miltä se tällä hetkellä näyttää!

Tänään menen myöhäiseen iltavuoroon, joten koitan saada vähän järjestystä tähän kaaokseen ennen sitä. Aloitin normaaliin tapaan lajittelemalla saapuneet postikortit - tässäpä muutama aarre viime viikolta:

Owl from Russia and other incoming cards

Some of the incoming cards for this week - I love the "pear laptop" that Inga Paltser's owl is using - and, of course, the coffee mug on his/her hand.

Tässäpä osa tällä viikolla saapuneista korteista. Rakastan erityisesti tuota Inga Paltserin pöllön käyttämää "päärynäkonetta" - ja tuota kahvimukia hänen kädessään tietty myös.

Happy 2016 and incoming cards

So, it's time for the first entry of 2016! May this year be filled with health, great moments and fat mailbox...

I'll start with some neat cards I received right before Christmas - enjoy!

No niin, on vuoden ensimmäisen postauksen aika! Olkoon tämä vuosi täynnä terveyttä, upeita hetkiä ja voikoon postiluukku paksusti...

Aloitan muutamalla ihanalla kortilla, jotka sain täpärästi ennen joulua - nauttikaatten!

Vogue from the USA and other cards

More neat cards that had reached our mailbox earlier this week. The one made by Anna Lomakina is great - and the name of the illustrator was new to me, too.

Which is your favorite?

Muutama upea kortti lisää alkuviikosta saapuneiden postien joukosta. Anna Lomakina on minulle kokonaan uusi tuttavuus - tykkään kovasti hänen tyylistään!

Mikä on oma suosikkisi?
