Postcard Challenge week 13


After having to take a couple weeks off from Darcy's challenge, I'm back with my...or shall we say...Maggie's postcard and page. 

Maggie continues to send her drawings or paintings to Thadeus.



 
She writes:
Thadeus-
  Please let me know that you are alright. You haven't responded to the letter I sent from my Aunt's home. I had to skip my adventure to The Netherlands to care for the poor dear after her fall.
  I am having a wonderful cup of coffee here in Istanbul. Next I am off to explore the Grand Market. I know it will be a feast for the senses.
  Please write.       Warmly- Maggie


So that's why there was no postcard from the Netherlands.  
*wink*


My page has a small "mug rug" and some stained shipping tags. Maggie must have found some fun things to send home at the Grand Bazaar.

The pocket is from a chunk of altered fabric given to me by Belinda Spiwak years ago. I think it adds just the right pop of color and texture.

  1. The coffee theme is great and your postcard really pops! The fabric pocket is a lovely addition to your book. Isn't it lovely when you find the perfect place for a long held item?

  2. Oh your right that piece of fabric for the pocket was just the ticket. I think the design on your coffee cup is really pretty.
