Stołowe, Poland.

A postcard that Mateusz sent me from Gdynia (it's stamped Gdynia xD). Now it also makes me think; the title should be where the postcards are sent from, or the place that's on the front side of the postcard, or where the senders live? I don't know what is the best, so for now I'll write the title based on where the postcard was sent from.

So! The postcard from Mateusz has unusual size, it's 30 centimeters long. I've never seen this kind of postcard before so I was beyond happy when I saw it xD It shows the panorama view of Stołowe which he visited on Winter Break. It was nice of him to ask for my address and said that he has special postcard he wanted me to have. After 11 days of traveling, this postcard arrived under my door on 20th of April together with postcards from Tony and Yolanda (: 

Stamps.

U.K., Beautiful Animal.

Beautiful animal postcard book series. These postcards were sent to me by Tony from England. Unwritten because they were in an envelope. Tony even write the message for me on the envelope lol xD I especially like the cow one! :D Got it also on the April 20th.

Netherlands, Elfstedentocht.

A postcard showing Eleven Cities Tour, a famous ice skating race in the north of Holland, sent by Yolanda from Haarlem, Netherlands. Received on Saturday, 20th April together with 2 other postcards (I started to think the postman will only deliver the postcards if there'll be 3 postcards addressed to me xD). I think the stamp is specially made, it's written Netherlands 2011 - postcrossing.com. Nice :)

Netherlands, Roses.

Dave from Den Haag sent me this postcard. Thought he'd sent me postcard with Tulips (since he's from the Netherlands), but no, that's too mainstream xD so here is a postcard with roses! Got the postcard maybe a week ago.

Mail from Adam.

During one of our chats, Adam promised to send me few banknotes and some coins from Europe. I promised him Indonesian tea in return. After a long period of waiting, his mini package finally arrived. Not only banknotes and coins, he also include E. Wedel chocolate and Jeżyki^^ I love Jeżyki. Yay! Unfortunately, they both melted so I put them directly to fridge without having a chance to take picture.

Banknotes and coins.

Envelope and stamps.

My favourite stamp^^

On the day I got this postcard (found it under my door actually, with 2 other postcards), I've just got back from other town. I remember it was on March 17th.

Stamp.

Katowice, Poland.

I told Adam I'd like to see Spodek again in Katowice and he sent me a postcard with its picture xD I think the postcard arrived earlier before somebody handed it to me (or I found it on the table in the common room?). Came in an envelope.

And The Story Begin.

Hi!

What's up? Name is Ayu. This is the blog I made. Mostly about postcards, but could be about stamps, mails, and package too^^ Everything involves the post office and mailbox. The early posts I'm about to write is collection of the postcards I got. I didn't have idea to create a blog before, so these postcards aren't posted as the date I got them, but in the future I hope I can post anything I get in the day :)

After few days of thinking what should I name my blog, I chose The Mailbox of Freyjudagr, because I think The Mailbox of Ayu isn't as ear-catching as Freyjudagr xD About the name Freyjudagr, well, it's me. It's like a username of me. Don't know if that makes sense. I will also make another postcard blog, but that one will be about the postcard I collect without stamps and not written :) Which means, friends and relatives give them directly to me or I buy them when I travel to some places. This blog (The Mailbox of Freyjudagr) will specially be about what I get from the postmen! :D

Now I'm not sure how I post the postcards, should I post only the front side with picture, or the back side as well? I don't mind showing my address, but is it okay to show what's people write to me on the postcards they've sent to me? Isn't that kind of private? So I decided to show the back side too if the postcard didn't come in envelope. If you have suggestion, please let me know.

Thank you for surfing my blog. And enjoy!! :D
