PSmith, Kentucky, USA

Neon Tea
A nice note from PSmith on the reverse of this card.  Thanks.

JJalltheway, NSW, AUSTRALIA

JJ's card is on silver foam core. There are lots of collaged elements on both sides and it came all the way from Australia with nary a snag. The stamp shows a koala, of course.

FMeyer, Aubagne, FRANCE

Wow, this is a photograph of a photo within a photograph (I think.) Francois Meyer of France sent this card with all of the information on one side of the card. The reverse is blank. In like that it shows the cup of tea next to the computer.

Karen, Big Bear Lake, California, USA

Karen sent this card with sparkly dolphins and a glass of iced tea. She's happy to celebrate her favorite drink with us. "Cheers" she writes. Thanks, Karen. And on a personal note, many years ago, my older sister and her family took me up to Big Bear Lake when I visited them in California.

Fleur Helsingor, Oakland, California, USA

Fleur, with her flower name and mail art with the 1887 Koehler's Medicinal-Plants book image of a tea plant (I assume.) Thanks, Fleur.

Marie, Manalapan, New Jersey, USA

This lovely photograph postcard came with a nice note.  Marie was so sorry to hear about the fire and hopes that the tea shop will get tons of mail art to refill the gold frame. I'm happy to report that much mail has come in and I'm in the process of scanning and posting it. Thanks, Marie.

Nikolai Lukin, Odessa Ukraine

 Two beautiful pen and ink sketches by Nikolai Lukin.

This is the envelope that the two drawings arrived in, with a wonderful drawing on it. The stamp is very nice, also.
