Gifts come in strange packaging!

The new additions to my postcard collection are magnificent, and I love receiving lovely gift gestures that might be simple to some people, but that mean the world to me. Malu has outdone herself and her kind gestures are much appreciated. Thank you for the note on the back of the Grand Canal card depicting the Hotel Regina which still stands today. Did you know that it was used for a scene in the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley" in which Matt Damon acted. Yes dear Malu . . to answer your question, I have been in a gondola and that I shall tell you about that in another post. My hubby and I are both delighted with the arrival of the lovely 'Venice' Postcards from yesterday - they are dated as far back as 1950's - I was not even born yet which makes them antique like my furniture and will fit most perfectly my decorated walls. They a delight on the eyes and look more like little paintings done in water pastels than postcards. I need not give any of you History of Venice, the place is most definitely a MUST to see in ones lifetime. Luckily I have been there twice . . . Have you ever received simple yet wonderful things that make you appreciate the givers kind gestures? It comes along once in a while - but it sure feels good! Two postcards and note the wonderful wavy edge on the one - and of course a beautiful VENEZIA stamp “Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.” ~ George Sand
