 non threatening seashells...

MOPE means 'sea' in Russian
the typical Dutch song for your birthday is Lang zal je leven (long shall you live)


My first large letter card from Japan and it is BEAUTIFUL.  The sender really enjoyed her trip to this World Heritage area with some of Japan's most spectacular mountains and waterways as per a tourist website I found

Nice blue postcards. I like the shells shaping a word.

Oh, yes, that Japanese postcard is great. How big is it?

My blue skies are here.

I did wonder why it would say "mope"! Blue is my favorite color, although there are so many blues that doesn't say much.

It's the usual 6x4 size (and looks better in real life)

I agree - so many shades of blue, it's not really a safe colour to say is a favourite if you are collecting!
