{DIRECT SWAP} [LOCATION #31] Greetings from… Belgium

Hello there! I received this postcard through direct swap, and I was very excited for it reaching my doorstep. This time the post office marked it so I received it on 01/Oct/2015, and sent by Iris, from Belgium. 

It was exciting for many reasons: it was the first postcard I received from this country, and, also, it was the first postcard I received from this series. The series is called “Greetings From…”, and it’s produced by Postallove, a postcard and stationery online store; these postcards have some interesting facts about an specific country (Belgium, in this case). Many people collect them and want to have one postcard for each country.

Back of the card

And here are the stamps she used

After I received some of these postcards, I thought it would be very original to receive them from country of origin and national/official language. Some time later, I received another one in German, sent by Wendy.

And here's the stamp she used

 
Cheers!
