Canadian Connection - 5 - Niagara Falls

The delightful Care mistakenly spent her anniversary in the wrong part of Canada; but she at least was nice enough to think of me and send me a card! I love Niagara Falls so I suppose I can understand why someone would want to take an anniversary trip there. Isn't it gorgeous? When I graduated from university I treated myself to a trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. I can't wait to visit again someday!

21 - Postcard from Thailand

This postcard is from a postcrosser in Thailand. I have a few postcards from there because my mother was on a cruise, but this is the first one someone has mailed from there. I was excited! The postcrosser mentions that it is winter there, but still warm. It is not warm here!

Here are the stamps:

14 - Postcards from Las Vegas

My mother recently went to Nevada, well, Las Vegas really, and these were some of my favourite postcards that she brought back. I saved some for when I do Nevada for my Collecting the States feature, but I had to share these. I really like the rainbow shots, don't you? The third and second from the end are sparkly, but the scanner didn't really do that justice. I don't have a burning desire to go to Vegas, but I hope to go there one day!

9 - Postcard from Japan

Isn't this impressive? I got a message on Postcrossing from someone in Japan wanting to do a direct swap.  I said yes of course! I love the postcard she chose to share. I have some other postcards from Japan, but not a lot. It is a place I would love to visit one day. This is a gorgeous example of it, that's for sure! Here are the stamps:

Canadian Connection - 1 - Postcard from Victoria

I live in Canada so I can't help showcasing postcards from my province. 

The above postcard came from the wonderful Memory. It is of the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC. This particular garden is known as The Sunken Garden and is one of 6 different gardens covering 50 acres. It looks like a beautiful place!

This is the stamp she included:

Collecting the States - 1 - New Mexico

One of my projects for 2012 was to collect a postcard from each of the 50 States of America. I am very close to completing this project! I thought I would count down and share what I have received/have from this project.

This is my postcard from New Mexico. It was sent through a direct swap on Postcrossing.com. I messaged people that lived in the few states I still need and asked them if they would want a postcard from here in exchange for one from there.

Here are the stamps:
