Thursday Postcard Hunt | Star Wars Headgear

The Last Jedi

A couple of postcards received through Postcrossing years apart, sent by Jax (Singapore) and Daniel (the USA). Have some among you recognise these characters? I should confess I am not a fan, but I like the postcards anyway.

The Opportunity Gone Forever

«A spore takes flight by wind, and the whole system survives. The assassin blinks, and the bullet merely grazes the head of state. The planet's axis shifts imperceptibly, and Earth is ruled by some other species. It's not even called Earth; there is no language at all. The letter is lost in the mail, the opportunity gone forever.
     All my classes in college essentially taught the same lesson: another world was once possible.»

We Ate


This postcard sent from Columbus (Ohio), and attacked during its way by hungry mail monsters.


Luckily, they did not attacked the stamps, nor the address, so it was able to reach me nonetheless.

Tribute


In 2017, Slovenská pošta commemorated the memory of holocaust victims with a stamp to mark 75 years since the first deportation of Jews from Slovakia. 

The stamp, which is entitled Honour, includes a yellow star and label with the date 25 March 1942, the day of the first transport of Jewish women from Slovakia. The designer is student Karin Uváčková.
