<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My postcard pal Dan from Atlanta (USA) sent me this stunning card of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Diamond">Hope Diamond</a> from the National Museum of Natural History (<a href="https://www.si.edu/">Smithsonian Institution</a>). Dan obviously knows about my passion for jewellery!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The text on the back of the card says:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"<i>The Hope Diamond </i>was cut from the famous 'French Blue', which was brought to France from India in 1668 to become part of the crown jewels. The French Blue was stoles in 1792 and never recovered, but in 1812 an extraordinary 45.52 carat deep blue diamond came on the market in London. Later it was purchased by Henry Philip Hope for whom it was named. In 1949 the gem was acquired from the estate of Mrs. Evelyn Walsh McLean by Harry Winston, and in 1958 he presented it to the Smithsonian Institution. It is shown here in a diamond and platinum necklace designed by Pierre Cartier for Mrs. McLean in 1910. "</span></span> </blockquote>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Many thanks for the gorgeous postcard Dan!</span></span><br />

I guess Ryan is my postcard pal for over one year now and is still exchanging cards with me regularly. I'm very happy about that fact and hope we will continue sending and receiving cards from each other in 2015 and further on! :)<br />
This time he sent me a card of a drum set and put as usual wonderful stamps on its back.<br />

<b>FAVORITES TAG</b><br />
Oh my... take a look on this card of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Bridge">Brooklyn Bridge</a> in New York! Gina sent it on August 19th and it took a long time to get to me. At some point I started to get impatient and asked Gina, whether she already sent the card. Sorry again Gina, for being so impatient. After I finally received the card, I knew why its journey took so long. It probably got shred in a postal machine!? Anyway, I'm more than happy to own this very unique card, because it brought me a marvelous chat with Gina, a wonderful person. Many thanks Gina, for all your effort, the lovely card and all the beautiful stamps! :)<br />

Diane from China sent me this amazing panoramic art card. Unfortunately I can't find any English information about the picture on the card. Diane only told me it was painted in the Qing Dynasty. Does someone know more about the picture? Anyway, I absolutely love this card<b>.</b> <br />
Diane also used the most amazing stamps. Take a look, they're huge!<br />
Many thanks Diane, you totally made my day. :)<br /><br />From China<br />
