These are two of ten cards Mrpotani picked up at various shows in San Francisco and used to send a long message. She numbered the cards one to 10 and mailed them together. Amazingly, they all arrived here in the same mail delivery. I picked two faves to post.
Driving into Ocean City, Maryland, early Wednesday afternoon, I couldn't help but see this signpost advertising the local post office.
The post office, too, crisply carried out the maritime blues and whites befitting a seaside resort.
In Ocean City, Maryland, on Wednesday, I saw these posters just off the boardwalk. Made from blown-up images of vintage postcards, they were definitely eye-catching.
A belated image from one of several snowstorms last month. Amazingly, the mail was delivered throughout.

Paper and Bronze, at the George Adams Gallery in New York until March 27, features new work by Lesley Dill. I haven't made it to NY of late but Dill's work is always worth a look. The cast bronze piece shown, called Rapture, stands 72 inches high.
Friend Olga Bajusova is having a show of her enchanting illustrations, animation storyboards, etchings, and other work from her portfolios at the WNY Book Arts Center in Buffalo, New York. The show runs till April 10. Her husband Jozef Bajus emailed that a March 13 showing of the Slovak animation Strigonove Vianoce (Christmas Wizard), which features illustrations and sets by Bajusova, was a great success. Congratulations, Olga!
The Bethlehem Area Public Library is advertising a benefit fashion show and luncheon on April 28 with postcards. I was lucky to get hold of a couple,as they're now all gone. Let's hope that means lots of money for some of the struggling libraries of cash-strapped Pennsylvania!
A French postcrosser cleverly altered this postcard poster by Gustav Klimt and wrote: Imagine living in a time when Klimt made the posters for the next art exhibition. Most of her message, though, was about her fascination for Leipzig, which this year marks the 325th birthday anniversary of Bach and the 200th of Schumann.
A Polish postcrosser altered a postcard of the Sydney Opera House to make an international statement.
PostMuse created this tiger card using an image of a vintage matchbox. Love that lifted paw! For more kindred works, see www.postmuse.blogspot.com.
This image of a Buddhist statue in Long-Shan Temple in Taipei comes from a postcrosser in Pin Lin, Taiwan, a "beautiful small town" that is famous for its tea. She taped some of the tea to the back of the card. What an unexpected treat! The card also brings back memories of that temple. I can almost smell the coils of incense always burning there.
Emma at Treehouse Jukebox painted this tiger skin. Many thanks! For more, see www.treehousejukebox.wordpress.com.
Folio Deux sent this poignant postcard of an 1882 painting by Jean-Leon Germoe, called The Grief of the Pasha. She added the decorative elements at bottom. I feel the pasha's grief.
A German postcrosser took this shot of Berlin Cathedral with the CTV tower in the background.
A German postcrosser sent this altered card of some sheep hitching a ride on a plush moving sofa.
