This postcard arrived from Sarah. She is from Wiltshire, England. As a fan of of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" she sent me this red_hot_chili_heart_card :) Like it so much!

... and the Queen on the stamp.

One more card from Germany. Received on March 22 from Mario who lives in Munich.

Frida Kahlo's Self-Portrait Dedicated to Sigmund Firestone, 1940.
Postcard from Julie (Kyiv, Ukraine). The first Frida-card I ever received. Yey!

From fridakahlofans.com:
In early 1940, the American engineer Sigmund Firestone commissioned a self-portrait from both Frida and Diego. They were paid a total of $ 500. Frida delivered this self-portrait to Firestone in 1940 but Diego did not finish his self-portrait until the following year.
In this self-portrait, Frida is combining the preColumbian jewelry with the typical catholic covering of the head, pointing to the duality of her roots, as well as the duality of her country. In the inscription on the note in the upper right corner Frida dedicates the self-portrait to Firestone and his two daughters: Natalia and Alberta:
"Mexico, Coyoacan. For Mr. Sigmund Firestone and his daughters Alberta and Natalia I painted this self-portrait with affection, in February of 1940 - Frida Kahlo".
In a 1940 letter to Firestone, Frida assures him that Diego will start his self-portrait as soon as he finishes the murals he is working on. When his self-portrait is finished she tells Firestone that: "...and we will be together again on your wall, as a symbol of our remarriage. I am very happy and proud because you like my portrait, it is not beautiful, but I made it with a great pleasure for you".

Diego's Self Portrait for Sigmund Firestone (January 1941).

Burdock Blood Bitters (19th century trade card) arrived from Anu (Finland). Nice...

... as well as the stamp :)

A wonderful view of Glenfinnan Viaduct, West Highland Line (Scotland). By the way, Hogwarts Express was running exactly this railway!

An amazing postcard from Julie (Ontario, Canada). This photo was made by Bryon Harmon - a photographer of Canadian Rockies at the turn of the last century. Definitely one of my favorite cards! 

Cute round-cheeked Dolly Dingle really touched me! This vintage paper doll, created in the early 1900's by Grace Drayton, was very popular in US newspaper comics. I received this card from Polly (Illinois, USA).

The card received from Anna. She lives in Florida over 8 years but originally is from Crimea, Ukraine. Anna loves plants, birds and butterflies. I think that this postcard is a good reflection of her personality. I adore it!

Five beautiful stamps were on Anna's postcard. Mr. Poe is gorgeous!

With Postcrossing the world seems closer to me, but at the same time more unknown and, therefore, more interesting.

My first postcard received from the girl living in Shanghai (China).

Chinese stamp. 

My name is Marta.
I love books and cinematography. Dreaming about theater stage and my own shop of handmade dolls. Crazy about vintage things and apple pies.
Enjoy life.
Believe that love will save the world.
And this blog is a journey inside my mailbox.
