BPW2

It's here! My postcard finally arrived! All the way from India, too. I was really beginning to worry since I haven't had the best of luck with the postal service lately. (Right Ivonne?) But it came yesterday and I was so excited to see what Ekta sent me.





It is this wonderful hand-made card. I was, however, heartbroken when it arrived damaged. As you can see, the beautiful painting on the front of the card is all but completely worn off. The hand-made paper is a delight - even the envelope is made this way. And Ekta wrote me such a lovely Valentine's note as well. I was so thrilled.

Thank you, Ekta, for your wonderful card and thoughtful note. And thank YOU Meeta, for hosting another exciting Blogger Postcards Around The World event!

It was a beautiful card. I'm just sad that the painting on the front of it rubbed off.

Hi Ivonne - yes, it was very unique and pretty.

Hi Ekta - In this instance, bigger would not have been better. It was the rubbing of the painted surface against the envelope that caused the paint to come off. It's just one of those things. Thanks again for such a unique card.
