the foreign, the exotic and the interesting

From my friend Frances, I received some postcards. They were actually from her sister Sarah, who knows about my obsession with these wonderful things that are postcards. The postcards were from Singapore and Thailand! Here are some of the ones that she sent me:

I loved the one in the bottom left, the building/stairs in this postcard look so awesome and so colourful. The caption at the bottom of the postcard says 'Famous historical building at Bugis Village' Here's another image of the stairs:

Aren't they just wonderful?

And these are the ones from the beautiful Thailand, I love scenic photos, so these caught my eye immediately:

smooth as silk

hello all, I'm sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, considering school started back up again and i was overwhelmed by the late night rush to complete some homework tasks unfinished in the holidays.

However, school going back happened to be a marvellous thing as on my very first day back I received postcards!! These were from my friend Caroline, who has been previously featured for her Libyan and Italian postcards. This time, on her return flight home, she picked up some postcards from Thai Airways. Their slogan is as 'smooth as silk' which I'm sure refers to their services, which Caroline will have to verify for me, but the bright colours of these postcards are amazing to look, and while really standing out, look so smooth - hence the blog title

I love how the blue provides a create contrast to the warm colours of the other 2 postcards

Then on Wednesday I was happily surprised when my friend Nicki told me she had some postcards for me. In the midst of maths, she pulls out 2 identical postcards....

As shocked as I was to have such raunchy postcards - though I'm sure many men would pick this one up - i was happy for these to be added to the collection.

all the way from italy!

On walking into the dining room this afternoon i get handed an envelope addressed 'misses Grace and Emma' (my twin). Upon its opening, out comes 11 postcards from my friend Caroline who is staying in Italy for the summer. Among them are a few from Italy but also Libya which excites me very much!

(right to left) The one written on postcard, Libya and the 20 euro

The random thing was, while flipping through these - with joy, i might add - i find enclosed 20 euro - though I was slightly disappointed to discover that its only about $10...

*edit*according to my sister its actually $40 YAY!!
