Thank You’s: 💌

u/paperscrapmae — Thank you for the beautiful postcard, I hope mine has found its way to you! I’ll send a response soon and we can properly geek out on art together, haha. I cannot comprehend the true scale of Aslam Was Here, 2024… it’s the kind of work that leaves you speechless. I’ve rarely seen something carry that kind of impact. Truly impressive! 🎨

u/PureAloeVeera — I have a little piece of the Met and I feel so blessed! I hope my postcard has arrived safely too. I love that we share such a deep passion for art and culture, and you’re right at the epicentre of it all! Being a New Yorker is truly something special. Looking forward to sharing more with you! 🗽🧡

u/naokokoro — The cutest little kitty postcard, thank you so much! And that postage stamp is absolutely beautiful, just like my username, what are the odds?! The universe was clearly paying attention haha. I will definitely be checking out Wifies’ Minecraft videos too! 🐱🧡

u/Livid-Promise-8456 — Thank you for the gorgeous Harvard card, I hope my postcard has reached you safely! I actually used to work at a gallery that exhibited Vincent’s work, so this one feels extra close to my heart. Are you close to the Harvard Art Museum? Would love to know! 🎨

u/random_avocado — What a beautiful postcard, thank you so much! Did YOU paint that adorable little dog?! If so, you are seriously talented and I am in awe! I hope my card has made its way to you too! 🐶🌟​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Still riding the wave of all this birthday love, thank you again to everyone who sent mail, you have absolutely made my day. This community is truly something special and I feel so lucky to be part of it. 💌🎂🧡

u/smonikkims — A handmade card!! You have no idea how much that means, the time and care that goes into making something by hand makes it so incredibly special. I will treasure it! 🤍

u/f1uffybunnies — hello fellow Aussie!! 🇦🇺 thank you so much for the birthday wishes and the lovely card — there’s something extra special about mail travelling across the country to find me. So grateful! 🧡 looking forward to more post exchange with you.

u/sarahkoren — Easter and a birthday card, double the celebration, I love it! 🐣🎂 And yes, we absolutely love our Easter Bilbies here, why have a bunny when you can have a bilby, honestly?! Australia truly is a wonderful part of the world and I love when people appreciate that. The sudoku was such a thoughtful little bonus too, my brain thanks you! 🧩

I genuinely don’t know where to begin, I’ve been opening my letterbox this week and have been completely overwhelmed in the best possible way. Beautiful cards, thoughtful postcards, little pieces of the world making their way all the way to Australia just for me. This community never fails to amaze me.

I feel so incredibly loved and seen. There is something about receiving physical mail that no DM or notification will ever replicate, and knowing someone took the time to choose a card, write something kind, and send it across the world… it means everything.

Thank you all for making my birthday so special. I am one lucky human. 🌏💌🧡

THANK YOUS:

u/knightinthesky — Thank you so much! Spring and autumn really are magical seasons, there’s something so romantic about them, especially for birthdays. We don’t quite have the same autumn traditions here in Australia as you do in the USA 🇺🇸, so I always admire it from afar! And your taste in art… I was genuinely stunned to open a Berthe Morisot card. What a beautiful surprise. I truly felt so seen and special, thank you! 🧡

u/awriterpossibly — Trader Joe’s!! Such an icon. As an Australian, receiving something so quintessentially American genuinely felt like an honour, it made me smile so much! 😄 And your message was so warm and lovely, thank you for taking the time. But OH the dog postcard, please give Charlie and Stella the biggest cuddles from me! I would absolutely love to see them (and the whole crew… Zola, Ziggy, and Zazu too!). Feel free to send me a photo via PM, I’m so here for it. Thank you for making my birthday feel so wonderful! 🐾

u/mission_cow_6742 — WOW. I mean it… WOW. This might genuinely be one of my favourite cards I have ever received. As a total museum nerd, anything Natural History Museum-related goes straight to my heart 🦕, and Hintze Hall? Iconic. I’d say my birthday was pretty much as grand as that ceiling! And the V&A stamp hehe perfect addition for my collection, I was so thrilled to open your mail. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year postcard was also such a thoughtful touch I found in my mail pile, I actually remember seeing that exhibition when it came to Australia a few years back, what a full-circle moment! Thank you for making my birthday so memorable. Hopefully my postcard made it to you safely 🌿​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
