Hi RAoC community! Look at these amazing cards and goodies I received from you wonderful people. I’m so glad to be back sending out mail again. I took a break to work on other projects and household needs, but it’s wonderful to correspond with this wonderful community again. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to receive some beautiful postcards, some amazing art, and so many stickers!!! (Thank you all for feeding my addiction!)

u/stockman1984 – thank you so much for the beautiful fox postcard and all of the awesome stamps on the back! I really love the “Progress of Electronics” one, but they are all really neat to look at. I love the fox art, I particularly appreciate the botanicals she added around him. Your joke actually made me crack up and now I can’t get “What does the fox say” out of my head. :D

u/SeaweedTreacle – thank you for the beautiful peacock nature postcard! You are right, it is such a lush scene! The colors are so pretty and it looks like it would be a great place to take a vacation. I love nature art and so this is an awesome one to add to the collection. Thank you so much, I hope you had a nice 4th of July as well!

u/DrFroggie – thank you for the sepia toned telephone box postcard! It’s a really neat photograph and I like the way it highlights the telephone box specifically, it’s a cool effect. Would you believe I’ve only been to the Bronx even though I’ve lived in New York my whole life? I went to the zoo there a few years back. I hope your Broadway show was awesome!

u/gigi700gigi – thank you for the beautiful water lily postcard. The whole scene is so colorful and fantastical. I love the artist’s use of light, it makes me think of a whole other world like avatar or something. It’s so pretty! Thank you!

u/MeowPrincessSandwich – or should I say MeowPrincessSammich! :D Thank you for the awesome Colorado Museum of Natural History postcard! You know I’m obsessed with museum things, I’m totally going to have to add RAoC Museum Lady to my resume now. I love that this postcard is an antique too, it makes it equally awesome. The photograph looks like either a photo or an artist’s rendition of an exhibit on crystallized gold and I frickin’ love it! The nerd in me is geeking out, and this will have to go into my new office I’m moving into this Thursday!

u/honeypnut – thank you so much for the gorgeous Wailua Falls, Kaua’i postcard! I love waterfall postcards and this one is pretty! I have yet to go to Hawaii and this allows me to live vicariously for a little while through the mail! It looks like such a lush and beautiful!

u/Mikepenpal6 – thank you for the red fox postcard from the EcoTarium! I feel like I need to check this museum out now if I’m ever traveling that way. The 80mph wind tunnel sounds pretty sweet! We have a hurricane simulator that probably has a similar thing, but that sounds more robust and educational! As you know, I love anything museum related! Thank you!

u/suzette393 – thank you for the cool sepia toned photograph postcard! I love the vintage looking postcards with interesting photography and art. The stamps on the back are super neat too! A convertible sounds exciting! I’ve only been in one my cousin had a time or two when I was younger. The thing I remember most was how I should have put back my hair! :D Hope you guys enjoy it!

u/leiawdaforce (x2 – see below for another thank you because I just couldn’t combine them) – thank you for the beautiful fall postcard! It makes me want October to be here so badly! (I don’t want to wish away summer to early though!) Fall is my favorite season, I’m hoping we will get more of one than we did last year. It basically went from 90 degrees one day to 30 degrees the next. So upsetting! I hope you will get in some hiking this fall, it’s the best time to go with the leaves any how!

u/windflex – thank you for the beautiful vintage sunflower postcard! Sunflowers are my favorite flower, I’m so excited to see them all starting to emerge over the next month and bloom! I would love to visit a sunflower farm sometime, I know there is one somewhere around my home so perhaps I will scope it out this year! It is true though…the humidity has been crap, my plants seem to love it though!

u/DaenerysWon – thank you for the beautiful “Lines in the Caspian Sea” postcard! It looks absolutely gorgeous, and the description on the back was super interesting. I love learning new things about our ecosystem, and this is such a beautiful way to picture a piece of it! I’m so glad you got the Chihuly postcard. We went to see Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle and it was absolutely amazing. I should have gone back at night, but we had so much to do. I’m so glad you were able to see one of his installations!

u/midnightmems – thank you for the awesome Jenkinson’s Aquarium postcard! I wonder if the sharks are crushing shells of crabs? Lol. The beach sounds amazing, I haven’t had much of a chance to go to an ocean beach in my lifetime, and I’d really like to work that into trips more. When we went to Seattle last year we went to the coastal beaches in Olympic National Park which was so awesome! It’s too bad you couldn’t visit the aquarium, it sounds like an awesome place! I love going to aquariums when I can. Thank you!

u/aprilplaysbass – thank you for the super cool Jackson Pollock postcard! I feel like his style of art is always a favorite of people because they can imitate it relatively easily. Also, who doesn’t love flinging paint around a room! Bruised Apple Books sounds like an awesome name for a shop. I’ve been down near Peekskill a couple of times. It’s cool to be that close to the Hudson!

u/hexeambrella – thank you for the beautiful handmade card that you painted of your fish Azure! Really the entire thing from the envelope, to the card, to the paint card insert is a piece of art! Your calligraphy is beautiful and the painting is gorgeous. I used to have a beta fish that was too dumb as a rock… what is it about the handsome male betas not being the sharpest tool in the box? I imagine he is quite beautiful, thank you so much for sharing all of the info and the painting of him, I really loved this offer!

u/mlcathcart – oh my, you have really outdone yourself this time! I love the Japanese garden card, I’ve not been to Japan myself, but I do think it would be neat to go some day. I might have the opportunity to go through my work some day and I’m hoping I will be able to go, it would be a neat way of seeing the country. Regardless of this, HOLY STICKERS BATMAN!!! I don’t think I’ve received so many stickers in one piece of mail! I am definitely going to use them for future mail correspondence! I love the hedgehogs and the wolf head is really neat! I love them all, and I thought it was done, but then there was a tiny envelope in there with more stickers! I love the bookmark too, thank you so incredibly much! People like you are why I love this subreddit, it really shows that there are still wonderful people left in the world!

u/linzrap – another one filled to the brim with stickers! Thank you so much for the lovely American Eagle/patriotic card! I was so excited to see all of the stickers inside, I have a real sticker problem and I thank you for feeding my addiction! :D I hope you had a great 4th of July, it sounds like it gets a bit crazy there! I think I would enjoy the 4th a little more if my pupper didn’t get so stressed out with the fireworks! I still enjoy all of the excitement though, and the food.

u/leiawdaforce – HOLY CRAPOLA…I feel like this card must have cost you a fortune to send out!!! First off let me say that I love that you handmade it, it’s amazing! Second, your boyfriend can paint a pretty mean wooden flower! And third, soooo many goodies!!! Thank you so much for the adult coloring postcard, I absolutely love those things, and for the Planets postcard, it’s so cool! Also for the peppermint tea and the succulent and leaf stickers!!! I feel like I’ve used a lot exclamation points, but you are worth it! I’m so glad you like the Chill Out card, I’m sure I’ll have more of those types of cards up soon, so keep an eye out!
