The sweet card on the left is a Holly Hill Pond Birthday card headed to Japan and the adorable snowman postcard is from Hallmark headed to China (I'm hoping for safe travel to China, seems mail delivery can be sporadic there).

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul!  It's so much fun to open the mailbox here at the 2809 and find an adorable snowman peeking out from the mail!  Oh the memories that come back...fun, good times, family, hot chocolate, snow angels, cold noses and warm hugs!

Wow!  I received another card by Minna Immonen, be still my heart!  This one is titled Bethlehem, so beautiful!  I would love to trade for more of her cards if anyone has any extra's?  Pretty Please?
Arrived from Finland

Santa has made his list, he's checking it twice. It looks like these darling children were all very nice! 

This traditional Christmas view warms my heart everytime I receive one.  Decorated fireplace mantle, puppy curled up sleeping, snow piled up on the windowsills, pretty decorated tree and little kids with their presents! 

This beauty arrived from Poland.

Kind encouragment,
thoughtful and true.
What a wonderful
thing for you to do.
Thank You!


Christina, I love this card!  Their dresses are amazing, all those details. Thank you for always encouraging me with your kind and thoughtful words!

Postcards are truly small pieces of artwork.  You can place them almost anywhere to add touches of color, inspiration, happiness or remind you of the beauty our world holds in it's natural state.  I have mine tucked here, there and everywhere all over the house, you?



Wheeeee...Minna Kortii is a new artist to me and I love her work!    If you are able to get her cards and would like to arrange a direct trade, please email me at  mailboxhappiness @ gmail .com (take out the spaces).
