I was really pleasantly surprised when I opened the envelope from Nina. Five (!) incredible cards with Frida! Thank you my dear Nina, you made me happy :)

The Suicide of Dorothy Hale, 1939.

Wiki says:
Dorothy Hale (1905-1938) was an American socialite and aspiring actress who committed suicide by jumping off a building in New York City. Hale was considered a remarkably beautiful woman with less remarkable talents who was introduced to high-society and luxury living. Her husband's death, followed by several unsuccessful relationships, left her financially dependent on her wealthy friends. Artist Frida Kahlo created a famous painting based on the incident titled The Suicide of Dorothy Hale.

Deanne from Michigan (USA) sent me those two amazing cards with Frida. Thank you so so much, I adore them!

I'm starting to jump, when I find in my mailbox an envelope from Felice. She always writes me inspirational letters, not to mention the cards that she sends.

Gorgeous card showing Sant Antoni marketplace in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) in 1915.

Wiki says:
Sant Antoni is a neighborhood in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). Its non-official centre, the marketplace of the same name, designed by Antoni Rovira i Trias and built between 1872 and 1882, is one of the oldest and most popular in the city, with second-hand book stalls on Sunday mornings. I
The streets of Sant Antoni follow the grid pattern prevalent in all of Eixample, except for a central throughfare, Avinguda de Mistral, built on the site of an important medieval road which lead out of Barcelona. Another well-known landmark of Sant Antoni is the bar called Els Tres Tombs, right next to the market.

History
Although its origins are tied to the (no longer in place) Saint Anthony church of Raval, the urbanisation of the neighbourhood dates from the 1880s onwards: very few houses stood around the market when it was built, and most buildings visible nowadays in Sant Antoni date of the 1920s and 1930s, when major urban changes occurred in the city on the occasion of the 1929 International Exposition. A working class area during most of the 20th century, it has undergone important changes in the last decades.
As of 2009, the Mercat de Sant Antoni is currently being refurbished, and a temporary market site along Ronda de Sant Antoni has been set in the middle of the road. In the meantime, this major road has become pedestrianised.

On the stamps: * Julia de Burgos - a poet from Puerto Rico, who is considered as one of the greatest poets of Latin America. * Katharine Hepburn - an American actress of film, stage, and television. 

Frida Kahlo’s "Fulang-Chang and I" (1937). Fulang-Chang was one of several spider monkeys that Frida kept as pets. The pet monkeys that frequently appear in her paintings are often interpreted as surrogates for the children she and her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, were unable to conceive. This postcard came from Nina, who always knows what card will make me happy. Thank you!

Nina from Narberth (PA, USA) sent me this postcard with Frida Kahlo's self-portrait "The Broken Column" (1944). "The Column itself shows one of the sources of her pain, the nails in her body show in a physical way the pain she was enduring, and the tears in Frida's eyes show that her pain was excruciating".

Today I found in my mailbox a real treasure. Felice from Chicago (USA) sent me an amazing postcard of Frida Kahlo and an envelope with two cards of Diego Rivera murals!
Thank you Felice ^_^
Especially for such a heartfelt letter you wrote.

Hip hip hooray! My first Frida Kahlo card received via Postcrossing! This is her self-portrait on the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States, 1932. Norbert, the Postcrosser from Düsseldorf (Germany), sent it to me and I'm more than just happy :) Many, many thanks Norbert! 

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".
