New European Autumn Donkeys!

I do have a solid internet connection at home, and can occasionally add a new post :) esp important to update my donkey collection! I've also received many splendid cards for my new UNESCO collection - alas i dont have scanner here...so these are still cards from the working era aka the early autumn.



From private swap with bogdanovskaya, this cute card from Spain :) Thank you!

A grand RAS card from Fabienne - she remembered me on her holiday so this donkey joined the team here, very happy, thank you! xD

This awesome postcard is from a private swap with Wanda ( I got three other gorgeous animal cards from her as well, i hope i can post them here too some time soon..!) This little family is just adorable, thank you!

I do wonder about the X-cancellation though..? First time i see this..!

New Croatian Autumn Donkeys

Hvala nt! xx Jednog dana kad budes napokon ovo citala :D
New additions from dear Nat, who is so eagerly feeding my mailbox :D

UNESCO - Assisi, The Basilica Of San Francesco, Italy

Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis, closely associated with the work of the Franciscan Order. Its medieval art masterpieces, such as the Basilica of San Francesco and paintings by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini and Giotto, have made Assisi a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture

I am always very very happy when i find a nice viewcard; and it is always such a pleasure to swap with someone who is as friendly and fair as Valentina from Italy - she's sent me this gorgeous card showing the Basilica di S. Francesco, and i also love the stamp AND the special Monza cancellation!! <3

Thank you so much Vale, my offers are always open for you!

Barn Swallow, Hong Kong

This one is a cutie - a barn swallow, with shiny blue feathers :)
I won it in a lottery by Joe Chi - thank you! :D

GEO - Bald Eagle

The bald eagle is storming down to catch its prey. With its dagger-like pointed talons this tremendous bird  manages to seize a 3-kilo salmon, rabbits and rats.
(a question pops to mind...why is it exactly bold?) thanks sis! :)

Providence, Rhode Island, USA

I immediately fell in love with the purple view/map card of Providence,  the capital and most populous city of Rhode Island. I love the shades and the 'cancellation' in the top-right corner <3

The second card shows The Rhode Island State House, built in 1895. It contains a vast array of famous paintings and historical treasures, including the original colonial charter of 1663 from King Charles II.

A millionth thank you to Ash :)

German/Moroccan Donkey

This GREAT donkey arrived as a surprise from my dear sis, hence the 'german' in the title. But the card sez the photo is taken in Meknes, Morocco. It is actually one of the places i plan to visit this winter..! I guess i'll be seeing quite many donkeys in Morocco, and not always with pleasant impressions...but such is life eh.

Newport, Rhode Island, USA

My friend Ash (already a household name heh) is spending some time in Newport, and has sent me these lovely viewcards - am especially into the 1st card, what an amazing place to have an estate! When he emailed me (just after sending) saying that the stamps are enormous and clumsy, i couldnt picture it as i am so used to small US stamps - but they are indeed quite large..! And quite awesome too, thank you Ash :)
