sent to Anthony in Canada! He asked for music recommendations, so of course I wrote him Big Mama Thornton, my favorite blues artist. I've also been listening to a lot of latin pop lately, like Pierdo la Cabeza and Sigueme te Sigo.

прывітанне з Беларусі

I love this postcard from Olga in Belarus. It's a USSR postcard from 1981 showing a traditional embroidery pattern.

It is a very bright red in person. I really really want to make this!

She says: "прывітанне з Беларусі"
pronounced: "pryvitannie z Bielarusi"

Patrycja's favorite song is I'm Just a Gigolo by Louis Prima

Karla from Georgia sent me a quilt postcard!!! This is definitely one of my favorites!

I told her I'd send her a photo of my first amigurumi since she encouraged me to try it :)

Her quote was a "Star Quote" cut out from a magazine:

"Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don't text a guy back for a half-hour, he'll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love." - Taylor Swift

Another letter from Erinbit!

Handmade envelope:

Safe & Sound

Got this postcard 10 September, 2012

From Caorun via Postcrossing.
She's a middle-schooler in China!
Her favorite singer is Avril Lavigne,
and she loves a sing named Safe&Sound by Taylor Swift.
I had not heard of this some, and I'm generally not a big Taylor fan, but this song is awesome. Thanks Caorun for letting me know about it!

Oh Happy Day!

I love this black and white from Denise in Germany:

Denise bought her first Pearl Jam album when she was 13. Here's some Pearl Jam to celebrate:

Sprout 2001

I received this postcard today from Yu-Hsin Chen in Taiwan!

She said how funny Barney is on How I Met Your Mother (So true!) and asked for music recommendations. Well! Here's what I told her: The Lumineers - Ho Hey, Mumford & Sons, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, Avenged Sevenfold, and the Allman Brothers Band.

I love the card, and I would love to visit Taiwan someday. It's on my bucket list!

Is love alive?

Earlier in 2012 I received this postcard from Brittany Ukulele, who asked what music makes me cry. I sent this postcard to her August 11, 2012:

I wrote down 2 songs that make me sentimental (for clarification, I do not cry). The Harry Potter soundtrack, because it's all over and it was such a big part of me for so long. Also, Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson because it reminds me of my sister Jennifer. She lives very far away and I miss her very much.

Summer Soundtrack

sending another Harry Potter postcard today (8.11.12) to Ines in Serbia.
I suggested the Allman Brothers Band - Live at the Fillmore East:

Indifferent but Distanced Perfectly, Projected Endlessly

from Sean, mailed from Zip Code 19087: Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania.
Apr 23 2008

The title of this post comes from the lyrics he wrote on the card, which are to Spectacular views by Rilo Kiley. Not one of their more famous songs, but here it is live:

Cinematic Orchestra

This is from Brittany Ukulele in Indianapolis, Indiana. Postmarked 23 July 2012.
She writes:
"What music makes you cry? Lately I have been entrances by instrumental melodies that completely stop me in my tracks. To Build A Home - Cinematic Orchestra <3 Brittany"
