I did mention on several occasions that I am in the process of completing my 50-State map cards collection. I am actually making slow progress but nevertheless, I am loving every map that comes my way.
Recently one of my swap mates posted this lovely New York map card on here Facebook timeline. I loved it + asked her if she can help me get one of my own. I was so delighted when her friend agreed to send me one in exchange for a Philippine map card.
I got my card a few weeks ago + it really made my day! It features some to the famous attraction found in the State, including Lake George, Catskill Mountains, + the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
Some New York trivia you might want to know:
- It is one of the original 13 states
- it has a 16M population
- Albany is the capital of New York
- Rose is the State Flower
- Sugar Maple is the State Tree
- “Exelsior, ever upward” is the State Motto
Thank you Patricia for this beautiful card + the lovely note you sent along with it. Thanks to Jennefer, too, for making this swap possible! 🙂
Thought I’d share my postcard with Postcard Friendship Friday, where I am joining for the first time:
