Namaste By Susan LeBarron

This beauty arrived from Susan a couple of days ago and I finally got around to scanning it this morning.

Susan believes that she and I are one, that she is the procrastinating, less accomplished side of me. I think we can all see, from this fabulous sketch, that Susan is wrong!

I love it Susan, thank you!

'Wedding Chapel' by Cindi Bessent

Wendy sent me this gorgeous pen & wash postcard of a wedding chapel on Elkton Main Street.

Apparently Elkton was once known as the wedding capital of the East because of it's short waiting time of just 48 hours. In 1936 Elkton issued 11,791 marriage licenses and chapels lined Main Street. This is the last remining one.

It was such a wonderful bonus to have this snippet of history included with such a lovely painting.

Thank you Cindi.

From Margaret Hunt

This beautiful card arrived this morning from Margaret, completely covered in fabric and deep, luscious red!

It is just gorgeous Margaret, thank you so much!

From Leslie Brasher

Daffodils by Leslie Brasher

This beautiful, uplifting card arrived from Leslie this morning complete with cute little lady bugs surrounding it and crawling all over the reverse side. She folded it like a card, so I now have it siting proudly next to my jug of daffs on my sideboard.

I love it Leslie, thank you so much!

This wonderful sunset arrived from Lyn.

Lyn chose the scene after reading my column on The Fens and realised she too shared in the luxury of a huge sky and long vision, as well as many animal visitors.

I love it Lyn, Thank you!

From Rita Cleary

This wonderful surpise from Rita arrivd in my mail this week..a SECOND postcard from her!

Rita's little teddy travels everywhere with her tucked into the grip bar infront of her passengers seat so I imagine travelling all the way here to the UK without her was a little scary for him.

Don't worry Rita, he's quite safe now...Thankyou!

'White Tulip' by Nel Jansen

These little treasures arrived from Nel this morning...TWO postcards...How lucky am I?

Nel said she sent both because the tulip didn't turn out as she had hoped, personally I think it's beautiful and am so pleased she sent it.
The sepia landscape is painted so simply and yet, says so much I love monochrome paintings and I love sepia, so this couldn't have been a more perfect gift.

Thank you Nel!

From Kate Muhlstadt

'Gerbera Daisy' by Kate Muhlstadt

This postcard from Kate arrived in the post this morning and in temperature of minus 6 I opened it in the frozen white landscape of the Fens. You can imagine my delight as this bold red flashed from inside the envelope, warming my chilled hands and brightening my day.

I love it kate, from the lush, vibrant colour and the text paper to the beautifully painted bloom that sits so perfectly upon it!!!
Thank you!

From Dana Whitney

'Fantasy Fibre Flock' by Dana Whitney

This postcard from Dana arrived today and brightened my morning with it's character and colour. I love all the different poses of the sheep, especially the intellectual looking one right at the back who doesn't seem impressed by all the attention.

Thanks Dana!

From Frankye White

'Basket of sunshine' by Frankye White

Frankye's beautiful coloured birds arrived this week too!

I love the colour red and birds are a hot topic around our home after recently obtaining two pet budgies. This really is a 'happy' card, uplifting and strong.

Thank you so much Frankye.

From Judy Lobos

'Punch Teapot' by Judy Lobos.

I first saw this postcard on Judy's blog post HERE and commented on how much I liked it, so you can imagine my delight when it arrived in the post!

Thank you so much Judy, he is wonderful.

From Joan Tavolott

'Arched Porch' by Joan Tavolott

This is my postcard from Joan Tavolott.

I have a huge love for anything architectural, so this arched porch was an absolute joy to find hiding inside the Monet card Joan sent with it. I love the light on the steps and could easily pass a lot of time in a place like this...I can almost hear the birds singing in tree blossom.

Thankyou Joan!

From Deni May

'Palm trees at sunset' by Deni May

This is Deni's postcard to me.

Deni already explained that the corners tore when she tried to remove it from the block after completing her painting, such a shame. However, she recovered it well and it doesn't distract at all from that glorious glow behind those palms.

Thankyou Deni!

From Stacy Holst

'I love snowmen' by Stacy Holst

This is Stacy's postcard to me, so cute and I just love his pink accessories.

I love snowmen too Stacy but it seems so long ago since I was able to make one, snow has been thin on the ground here in the Fens the past few years.

Still, I now have my very own and he's not about to melt in a hurry!

From Margaret Storer-Roche

'Prickly Pear' by Margaret Storer-Roche

Margaret's postcard arrived this morning all the way from Arizona. Bold, creative, colourful and larger than life.
Margaret took her creativity over to the reverse side of the card too and tore the paper for a real 'arty' feel.
I love it!!!
Thank you Margaret.

From Starr Daubenmire

'Cucumber Spoon' by Starr Daubenmire

This wonderful card surprised me in the mail this morning. Such a delicate rendering of a most unusual and attractive object, Starr has captured the detailed piece wonderfully!

Starr you have the most beautiful handwriting!

From Louise Rocheleau

'Cortinarius Alboriolaceus' by Louise Rocheleau

Lousie's card also arrived this morning - Two in one morning...How lucky am I?

Such a fine, delicate work of one of the many mushrooms her Husband has brought home from work through the years. Such a beautiful piece that, to me, feels so feminine.

Thankyou Louise!

From Susan Robinson

'Red Bluff Round-up' by Susan Robinson

Susan's wonderful rodeo card arrived this morning and I just love how she chose a topic that was close to her community's heart.
Susan feels the card looked better without the lettering but I love it, along with her loose watercolour approach and the turn she has achieved on both the horse and it's rider. .

Thank you so much Susan!

From Rita Cleary

'Honey' by Rita Cleary
