Mila is a medical student. She was listening to "The Promise - Secret Garden" whilst writing this card. Mila loves October and Autumn (me too!), classical music and 30 Seconds to Mars.

Strusta Lake - according to the map, this is somewhere near Mila :)

All that we see or seem

As much as I love postcards, there is nothing quite like receiving a hand-written letter in the mail. All the more special when there are other surprises inside. Knowing someone took the time, thought and energy to send you something original is just wonderful.

Something Blue from sendsomething.net sent me this marvelous package. I mean, just look at the envelope!

This is from quite the Poe fan, I don't know if you can tell? (look at that vintage stamp!) As part of the set, I received a few little extras...

Along with a very macabre printout of Poe in his coffin, with an anecdote about his death.
True, Something Blue, 'Tis the season, after all. ;)

There was a card with a lovely letter inside, in beautiful calligraphy. This was, in fact, a tagback letter from a Wizard of Oz postcard I had sent earlier this month. I'll have to think of something creative to send back :)

Happy Halloween,
