For the goose portrait: Dear u/emilyeller Thank you so much for the adorable illustration of a goose with a bow on its head! It’s such a sweet and charming card, it really brought a smile to my face when I needed it most.

For the Banksy postcard: u/pyma04 Thank you for the powerful Banksy postcard featuring the girl searching the soldier. It feels very symbolic and moving, especially given the current situation. It’s a very strong addition to my collection.

For the handmade card from North Texas: A huge thank you u/Pen_and_paper24 for the beautiful handmade card from North Texas! The pressed bluebonnet flower is simply stunning! I truly appreciate the time and care you put into creating this for me.

For the envelope full of jokes: u/melhen16 Thank you for the handmade card and the fun jokes! I’m still figuring some of them out, but they definitely lightened my mood. The one about bunnies was so cute: Shop ’til they hop!' (I finally got the wordplay on 'Shop 'til you drop'!) Thank you for the laughter!

Today my sweet and always little Lily of the Valley, a Bernese Mountain Dog, passed away. She lived 10 wonderful years with us, and I am infinitely grateful to her for every moment. For her sincere and all-consuming love, for her intelligence and ingenuity, for our safety.

It feels a bit awkward to ask, but I’ll try anyway. If anyone would like to support me with a postcard during this sad time, I will leave my address here, in this form https://forms.gle/5DRenVmr73UqfeXk8 . If you have or have had a pet, please share a funny story from their life. Reading about your happy moments would mean the world to me.

I am endlessly grateful to everyone for your kindness and attention.

And here is some Poltava and Lileia.

Hello, lovely community! So happy to be among you!

On Wednesday, I sent out 9 postcards featuring floral cats and made the mistake of sharing a postcards photo in another subreddit. Unexpectedly, I received a wave of hate because the cards designs were AI-generated (The Dutch Lady Designs). I was upset for a little cause all those cards were flying to people who had specifically requested them (in the Offer I made here).

However, the Universe decided to show me that I was on the right track, and the very next day, I found... 9 postcards in my mailbox! So now, it's time for some heartfelt thank-yous!

u/Sneakerlambs , your story about the barn cat is so sweet! I can totally imagine him offering his belly for some rubs! Such a cutie, thank you!

u/Pleasant_Leek_6403 thank you for the description of your city - I could almost feel the sea breeze on my skin! My "moment of happiness" today is writing thank-you notes to the people who write to me.

u/october_surprise56 I wish you a fantastic trip to the concert! Right now, I'm eagerly awaiting the Ukrainian edition of Terry Pratchett's "The Last Hero" (it's the penultimate book in the Rincewind series). Endless thanks to you for the support and kind words on that Floral Cats post!!!

u/PureAloeVeera thank you for the "Murder in the Mews" cover! I read all of Agatha Christie's works as a child and I also adore Poirot - he's so charming!

u/neurospicyxenby thank you for such a warm sunset! This winter was very cold (and for Ukraine - long and very dark), and I often dreamed of Crete. It captured my heart over 10 years ago, and I often return there in my thoughts.

u/TradingToilets4Shoes thank you for "The Nut Gatherers"! I absolutely love Bouguereau's paintings! I've been to Odesa a few times - it's really wonderful, and I'm sure you'll love it. The idea of visiting Chernobyl as a tourist hasn't left me either, but that will be possible after the war ends, the zone is currently closed :(

My lovely neighbor u/FairyFrogOnBread the Girl with Dragon Hair is simply incredible! I agree with you, she really resonates with my avatar! Thank you and take care of yourself!

u/CarolusMagnus3 your vintage postcard from Düsseldorf is magical - it’s like a time machine! I never knew that Kraftwerk, a band I listened to constantly as a teenager, actually comes from Düsseldorf!
