postcard perfect: a postcard for myself

postcard perfect, souvenir, postcards

I sent this to none other than myself during our Postcrossing Enthusiast Meet-Up {I have yet to blog about it}, know why it is quite special? It was signed by all the PE members in attendance that day, so it is my little priceless memento of that encounter, along with a bag of postcards + other freebies that I was able to bring home that day, not to mention am sending this straight from the Manila Central Post Office {which I’ve been for the first time that day, too ^_^}

In the spirit of the season, I have a little good news. I have 7 more of these signed cards + I will mail it to the first 7 persons to comment on this post. Just a little token before the year ends.

So comment away + fill out my contact form with your mailing details. I shall be mailing these postcards as soon as the 7 recipients are complete.

I will wait for your comments then + here’s to an eventful several days before 2012! ^_^

This will be my share for this week’s Postcard Perfect, too…

postcard perfect: serra da lousa, portugal

postcard perfect, postcards, souvenirs, Portugal

This beautiful + quaint rock house is part of Serra Da Lousa, situated in the quiet mountains of Gebirsgsdorf in Portugal. Serra Da Lousa, which literally translates to Lousa’s Mountain, is also part of the natural + cultural heritage of the municipality of Lousa. This recovered house now serve as a shop selling regional sweets.

This is one of the firsts, if not the very first, postcards I received from Portugal. This was mailed to me by Joao, thru a private swap.

My Postcard Perfect share….
