{DIRECT SWAP} Flags of the World: Slovenia

Hello there! I received this postcard through direct swap, and I was very excited for it reaching my doorstep. I received it on 03/Jul/2017 and it was sent by Mateja, from Slovenia. I had seen these series of postcards before but I never knew how they were called until recently. The series is called Flags of the World, and it’s produced by Postcardsmarket, an online postcard store; the postcard's main detail is the flag of an specific country it represents, along with some interesting facts about it (Slovenia, in this case). Many people collect them and want to have one postcard per each country.
