Postcrossing is such a fun way to trade postcards, unfortunately since Canada Post raised the international rates substantially, I have sent a card out of country. I am going to have to bite the bullet so to speak and buy some stamps and get back on track. This soothing cup of herbal tea arrived from Ukraine. It makes me relax looking at it.
The lilacs on the stamp are gorgeous.

This is a great card. It came to me from the Ukraine. Now I am left to ponder what is the tie between penguins and that country. First, wild penguins are one found in the southern hemisphere. There is a Unkrainian, Alexei Ponikarovsky, who plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team. Author Andrey Kurkov wrote a book called Death and the Penguin after reading a story about the Kiev Zoo. Whatever the connection, this is a great card.
This postcard of Belle from Beauty and the Beast (click here to watch the clip of this scene on youtube) is on it's way to my friend Etsuko in Japan. she likes Hello Kitty but I didn't have any of those to send so I am sure she will like this one of Belle. Beauty and the Beast if my favourite Disney Cartoon, I have probably seen it 30 times and love it each time :) I saw it for the first time on the Champs-Elysees in Paris France when I lived there as an Au Pair girl. The Beauty and Beast 3D is in theatres right now.
