The Christmas season is upon us, my Christmas lilies are in bloom, the sun shines whilst many of you share winters chill and the snow, a white Christmas. How you are envied.
I've received some festive holiday greetings from Antonia Mayol Castelló, along with a lovely art card featuring Bella Lola, a character from a popular song called "Hi Bella Lola."
In my mailbox today: an envelope from Katerina Nikoltsou, stuffed with holiday cards! There was a folded card with silver stars offering holiday greetings ...
... and two notecards, one card with autumn colors and one card featuring a rather wintery looking sea painting by Ioannis Altamoura.
The boat in the painting is called the "Pilot Helsingor!"

Many thanks!

Two late winter greetings!
Katerina Nikoltsou sent me this charming card (which I scanned on a black background )...
... and there's a nice selection of stamps and stickers on the back of the card and the envelope.
I also heard from Mail Art Martha, who sent "end of winter" greetings and a card wishing me a Happy Lunar New Year of the Rooster.
There's some interesting info in the card along with another wish for the year ahead. Enjoy!
