It's a kind of miracle when you receive a card from new country, especially so rare like French Polynesia! This country is located on the other side of the planet than Belarus.

Here is a wonderful postcard from USA. A backside says:

A tall cactus with upward-curving arms, white funnel shaped flowers, and edible red fruit, the Saguaro is found in many areas of Arizona. Anywhere from 15 to 50 feet tall, some Saguaros are estimated to be 200 years old.

Jip and Janneke by Fiep Westendorp

Postcard ID: NL-2745039, NL-3139825
Country: Netherlands

Here is one more postcard painted by talented Dutch illustrator Fiep Westendorp. But the most interesting information for me was in the message. Do you know the reason why citizens of Zwolle are called like Bluefingers?)

Citizens of Zwolle are colloquially known as Blauwvingers (Bluefingers). This dates back to 1682, when the St.Michael's church tower collapsed. The authorities were strapped for cash and saw no option but to sell the church bells to neighbouring city Kampen. To make sure that Kampen would not make too much profit from the deal, the local authorities asked a high price for the church bells. Kampen accepted, yet after the arrival of the bells it became clear, they were too damaged to be played. In revenge, Kampen paid in copper coins of four duiten (the equivalent of 2-and-a-half cents). Zwolle distrusted Kampen and wanted to be sure they truly paid the entire price. After the rigorous counting of this vast amount of money, their fingers had turned blue from the copper

P.S. As I received duplicated card, I added Postcard ID of the second card at the top.

Here is the stamp from this card:

Country: Russia

Here a so simple and so cute postcard at the same time :) I want to have such desk for drawing in our home :)

Moominmamma

Postcard ID: FI-2235180
Country: Finland

Yeah, finally my collection of moomins postcards has Moominmamma :) here is one from the most kind and wise Moomin characters :)

Moominmamma is the mother of Moomintroll. She very rarely gets cross and takes even the most distressing circumstances (such as the arrival of a comet, or being washed away by a flood) in her stride. Moominmamma would permit anything to her child and his friends, even smoking (she says it's good for the stomach). Moominmamma is almost never without her handbag, which contains essentials like woolly socks, tummy powder, and bark. She makes bark boats every summer, and the first one goes to her favorite.

Also these shaped Moomin postcards with special stamps are one from my favourites :)

Dogs by Viktoria Kirdiy

Postcard ID: RU-3163785
Country: Russia

Yeah, my collection of postcards painted by Victoria Kirdiy has a new one! I like dogs, and these 2 from postcard have so kind smiles :)

As usual, here is my translation of the poem from Russian in English:

Nobody snaps behind the heel, 

Nobody eats citizen horse

And citizen cat, 

When a dog has a booth and a bowl, 

If there are a collar, moon, and sausage in the stomach, 

So everyone knows that the dog is not an orphan.

Here are the wonderful Russian stamps:

Postcard ID: DE-3664476

Here is one more postcard with coffee aroma. To be honest I don't know much about coffee types. I know ctripped coffee (latte), americano, cappucino, however I don't know if all of them can contain drawings like on the postcard :)

I like to see it, to smell, but don't drink it :)

Here is a German stamp from the backside:
