Postcards from Friends: 2011 Holiday Season from Around the World

I love postcards. I love collecting them. I love sending them. I love receiving them. In fact, I shamelessly beg friends to send me postcards when they travel. Ahem, hint hint.

These were really fun to look through. I especially loved the colorful and festive ones from Prague and New York. AND the tortellini en brodo (one of my all time favorite dishes). Thanks for asking me to contribute. Happy New Year

Thanks for thinking to ask me :) I was very happy to be a part of it! I did not know you were a huge fan of real postcards too (like me!). Email me your current address and I will send you one!

I know how it feels to receive stuff from all around the world. I have a little collection of shot glasses friends send me from all around the world. I am from Montreal but now living in Australia. I can send you some nice digital postcards from my Christmas down under. There is no lights or trees but some breath taking beaches :D I have a blog too.. But I didn’t write anything in a while. I just love traveling and seeing pictures of other people traveling. I’ll be glad to share!
