NI Multiples - Breakfast / Cheese

Breakfast

Sheep Cheese

I feel so lucky when i can tag a NI card! These are often offered as a special trade, and more often than not i have nothing to offer in return :(  Which is why i dont intend to actively collect these cards, sadly. For now i am happy to get an occasional card which represents something that i really like - in this case a fancy breakfast and yes CHEESE. :)))

When i finally get to travel to France i think i'll suffocate in cheese and wine :D

Thank you Greets for offering;

And thank you Sanne/Blue79 for tagging favourites :)

Reindeer From Lapland

So cute, the young reindeer peeking from behind the bush :)
I cannot be sure (the animal clasifications sometimes downright confuse me :-/) but this could be the Finnish Forest Reindeer, an endangered species. But more likely a mountain reindeer. Any tips welcome..!
Thank you Anu/ichabodhides for the swap, and great stamps! :D

The Sheep Family

This cute sheep family arrived from Germany via private swap - thank you Jana/terra :)

California State Map Card

Ange/xxiiangel send me this card from my favourites and lovely looove stamps, for TM rr :) The States really have such cool maps, bright and colourful...and educational. So Quail is the state bird of California! So much to see in this state alone, let alone the whole of the USA...its intimidating heh.

Movie Posters

La Dolce Vita is a 1960 comedy-drama filmed by Federico Fellini. It is one of those movies that i've longed to see for ages now - i even had it downloaded, but am waiting for the opportunity to just relax and immerse into it, which i should be able to do during winter holidays :)

Interesting fact: the word paparazzi, used to describe intrusive photographers, has its origin here; the photographer in the movie who is 2nd to the main character is called Paparazzo. Sounds like something that could pop up in a quiz show ;)

Stand Up And Cheer is a 1934 American musical directed by Hamilton MacFadden. Although it stars the Oscar-Award-Winner Warner Baxter it is mostly referred to as a Shirley Temple movie, whose role was minor but she was a huge start at the time. I must admit, I havent heard of this movie before AND I've never seen a Shirley Temple movie, ttt!

Thank you Becker for the offers tag;

and Elaine/ezbub for the gorgeous Year Of The Rabbit stamp <3

Tian Tan Buddha, Hong Kong

Tian Tan Buddha is also known as The Big Buddha; the statue was completed in 1993 and located at Ngong Ping (near the Po Lin Monastery), Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion. Standing 34 meters tall, its the 2nd largest sitting Buddha statues in the world  (it doesnt come close to the 1st on the list - The Great Buddha Of Thailand is staggering 92m high..!)

As Manyee/memymanyee wrote on the card: some people say, since this Buddha was built there are fewer typhons in Hong Kong. May that good vibe continue! :))

Star Wars Stamps Card, USA

I was never caught by the 'Star Wars' virus but some of its iconic images make for a nice postcard :)

At 1st this one looked like just a bright mosaic of images and then i realised those are stamp-shaped! Did the US really issue this set of stamps..?! Oh yes they did - and this card is what the mini-sheet looks like - fab! The set of 15 stamps was issued in 2007, yet i've never seen any on a postcard, boo :( I can imagine its one of those cases with limited editions being sold out as quickly as you say 'cookie'. Or 'wookiee' heh. I'd love the stamp with Yoda, he's so cool :)

Thank you Erin/emotis for this great card! :))

Mucha - La Plume

A stunning portrait from 1899. It appears to be a half of a 2-part panel set (the other one being 'La Primavere'). I was just thinking how i'd love to buy a Mucha print for my new place - but how do i choose which one..?!

Am always so happy to find Mucha in offer tags - thank you Giuli/rozenvlinders :))
