From Emma in Taiwan


Emma from Taiwan sent me this postcard sometime around January 24. It took about 70 days to get here, so she even sent me this second postcard in the meantime. This postcard is really fun. This design below works together to make the set up below it.




And she included these pretty stamps:

From Jillian in Ext. Terr. of Australia~Norfolk Island


Look a postcard from a place I did not know existed! I think that might be the best kind of postcard. Jillian sent this card from Norfolk Island which is one of the External Territories of Australia.  I am thinking that it must be a bit like Puerto Rico is to the United States.

From the back of the postcard:

Left: St Barnabas Chapel, built from stone taken from the ruins of the New Gaol. Right: Detail of the chapel's elaborate Rose Window.

The stamps are glorious too:
