I received many letters last week, and it was like Christmas and birthday came at the same time! :D Here are my lovely incoming letters from Germany. :D
I love the stamps! :)
Could anyone tell me what "luftpost" means?
My pal enclosed lots of pictures and a postcard from her trip this summer to Iceland, and they're all beautiful! Here is the postcard. I think this is my first postcard from Iceland.! XD I'm a BIG fan of hot springs, so I'd LOVE to go to this outside hot springs on the upper left picture in the postcard. Looks so nice!!!
The northern lights in the postcard (right bottom) is so beautiful. When I was living in Canada, I saw beautiful northern lights every winter. I miss them so much! It was like a treat in the cold winter over there. :D Have you seen the northern lights?
This wonderful letter and the handmade card is from my pal in the U.S.
And the stamps.
I love the stamps! She used the commemorative stamps celebrating the 100th anniversary of a gift of 3,000 cherry trees to the U.S., and you can see a panorama view of the cherry trees in full bloom around Washington's Tidal Basin. By the way, this March we also had commemorative stamps celebrating the same in Japan (you can see the design here), and I used those stamps for my American pals. :)
This is from my lovely penpal in Latvia. I love her autumn stationery. :)
Latvian stamps. So lovely. :)
These lovely letters are from Sweden, Vietnam and UK. :)
Lovely Swedish stamps!
Cute stamp from UK! :D I love the mustache! By the way, what does "Movember" mean???
I've been doing well with catching up with my letters and already replied to some of the letters I received last week. :) I will post my outgoing mail soon. I hope your mailbox has been happy as well! :D
By the way, 3 packages out of 5 packages I sent out for my first Fumi no hi Give-away project arrived at its destination in USA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Venezuela, and I hope the rest of the packages will be delivered soon. to Italy and Mexico! :D
先週は沢山のお手紙が届きました。クリスマスと誕生日が一緒に来たみたいで嬉しい☆まずはドイツから2通。切手も素敵です。ひとりはアイスランドに旅行に行ったそうで、アイスランドのポストカードを同封してくれました。アイスランドも温泉で有名だそうです。温泉好きなのでぜひ一度行ってみたいです。また、オーロラも綺麗ですね。カナダ留学中にはよく見かけたオーロラも、東京では見られないので懐かしいです。オーロラを見たことはありますか?
続いてはアメリカのペンパルから手紙、ハローウィンカード、そしてよく行く日本食レストランのメニュー表が届きました。切手は『桜寄贈100周年記念切手』です。日本でも同じテーマの記念切手が発売されていましたが、アメリカバージョンは始めてみました。素敵です☆これからも日米の友好関係が続きますように。
ラトビアのペンパルは素敵な秋のレターセットで手紙を書いてくれました。切手もレトロな感じで素敵ですね。その他にもスウェーデン、ベトナム、イギリスから手紙が届きました。スウェーデンの切手は相変わらず可愛らしい☆イギリスの切手は消印が素敵ですね。でも、「Movember」ってなんだろう。口髭と関係あるのかな。お返事書きは順調で、先週受領した手紙へのお返事も書き始めています。いい感じだ~。
ところで、先日『ふみの日プレゼント企画1』で送った5つのプレゼントの内3つ、アメリカ、ボスニアヘルツェゴビナ、そしてベネズエラへ無事到着したそうです。ベネズエラは思ったより早くてびっくり。他の二つも無事、イタリアとメキシコに届きますように☆
↓いつもありがとうございます。押していただけると励みになります☆
What lovely mail! Love the stamps too and the beautiful card of Iceland. Oh, Luftpost = Air Mail.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I also love my first Iceland postcard! And thanks for telling me that Luftpost means Air Mail. Next time I will write Luftpost on my envelope going to Germany. :D
DeleteI still have to get my package from you, I really hope today is the "lucky" day, will tell you! Hugs^^
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that it would take this long for a package to travel to Italy, so I'm a little worried. Hope you will get it soon!!
DeleteGuess what AYA??
DeleteToday I've got the package! What to say? I am speechless because I LOOOOVE ALL! You really made my day with a huge smile on my face! I never had washi tape in my hands so I was most happy to see it in the pacakge as well as all the beautiful stickers, paper, envelopes, tea and gummy! Love love all! Many thanks again dear, you're the best^^ :-)
huuuuuuuuuuuugs from Italy!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteYes, Luftpost means airmail. I love the red, blue and white sticker, sadly they switched to the just blued and white priority stickers :(
I hope you are doing great!
Oh so they had different colours of the sticker? That's nice. Here, I think we have only blue ones for Airmail stickers. By the way, my package for your Fumi no hi give-away and the advent calendar swap will be sent out this weekend. :)
DeleteI have never seen the northern lights, unfortunately. I like the stamps on your letters. It was great week for your, fulfilled with mail :)
ReplyDeleteHere in Tokyo, we can't see the nothern lights neither. I really miss them in Canada although I don't miss their cold cold cold winter. lol
Deleteベネズエラ早いですね!日本から送る分には早いのでしょうか…?
ReplyDelete受け取ったベネズエラの人もびっくりしていたくらい早かったです。ベネズエラに郵便を送ったことがなかったので念のため書留にしたのがよかったのかもしれないです(^^)
DeleteI have never seen the Northern Lights, sadly. But I HAVE to do before I die! :D
ReplyDeleteYour profile picture shows the Nothern Lights, so I thought you've seen one. By the way, your profile picture is beautiful!! I hope to see the northern lights once last time before I die! :D
DeleteMovember is a combination of November and moustache. Here in the UK, men grow facial hair for charity. :)
