From Liz in Australia to Pat in USA

I received Liz and Borromini Bear's postcard a few days ago and have been trying to figure out the best way of posting the image.  My camera just hasn't done it justice so I am posting it anyway with a disclaimer that...In real life it is much much better.  You will have to come to my house for tea and a rest in the garden to see the real thing though.  It felt so special when my husband handed me the mail saying you will be happy about the mail today.  Sure enough Liz's postcard has put a smile on my face for days.


Having a Cuppa in Nanna's China
Watercolor, ink postcard

  
I love the back of the card with all the wonderful
stamps and of course Liz's perfect handwriting. 


These areas were so wonderful I wanted to highlight them.
Especially the tea cozy keeping Liz's
 tea warm and ready for the second cuppa.

I want to thank you, Liz, for this wonderful addition to my growing collection of precious art from around the world.
