This is rather a holiday bungalow I guess, located in Campos do Jordao.. a very different city in Brazil because it has Germanic style.. oh, now that I read this part, perhaps it’s trying to say this looks like half-timbered houses in Germany! Apart the fact that in Germany I have seen them so high. And this place has cool weather as well, and it makes it a touristic place for a holiday.

Portuguese houses

Olá! I have featured many houses cards before but this is the first from Portugal.. YEAH. And my message to Marta: you can see your card here, finally!!! :P

From Martinha. Believe me, my Portuguese penpal since school time once told me that in her place it had snowed only 2 times in a century, or something like that, and since that I grew up thinking Portugal doesn’t get snow. And that particular knowledge had stayed in my mind for many years until I received this card from Marta and gasped! LOL did I get a wrong information or did I misunderstand at all? Sigh.. anyways Serra daEstrela is the highest mountainous area afterall, therefore it makes sense to get snow there. And this snowy village house looks real peaceful that it seems a perfect place to sit and hide from people.. especially when you need to be alone, read books, or cry :)

From BpoBpo. This is the house where Vasco da Gama lived in!! :D I must tell you that Vasco da Gama was the very FIRST Portuguese name I heard in my life!! HAHA yup right from the primary school, we learnt that he’s a great sailor that found a way to Asia :) This posh-looking house is located in Évora, a Portuguese historic town which is also a UNESCO heritage site.

From Moonwolf. I love these houses!! You can find them in Açores (Azores) Island in the Atlantic ocean.. where the people live mostly on the production of cheese, milk and meat. Seriously, I don’t mind living in one of these houses :)) they’r so damn cute!! Plus it’s in an island!

Finnish snowy houses

Huhu.. where do I start?? Many things have been getting in my way and it’s quite precise if I say my enthusiasm to dig out the postcards box and find some cards to feature here in this blog… has been sort of fading. Ouch. Though I have actually had some groups of cards ready, some here sitting just beside the monitor for weeks, and the rest are lying on the very box. Okay, let me show Finland houses this time.. and while snow is still there (they are talking about spring so I guess it’s almost time to say bye for winter) it’s still appropriate to feature snowy scene.. and yes, to put two and two together, here are Snowy Countryhouses From Finland!! :D Ah yes if there was something called a filter to my postcard these should be fallen into Postcards > Finland > Houses > Snowy hahahaha how detailed can it be? :) I promise next time I’ll put Postcards > Finland > Houses > Summertime ones just as well ;)

From Tilda. So this is rather a cottage, with untouched snow everywhere, snowy trees as well. I don’t know why its roof reminds me for something yummy, which is weird now that I say so, and I can’t describe what, and at the same time I am craving for a cold water.. ahhh. *be right back after a glass of fresh water with lots of ice cubes*

From Monna. This kind of houses were built in 1940 to 1950 after the war. They usually have two storreys and are made of wood. Here in the card it says, on average January is the coldest month in Finland, by the coast it’s February, and snow cover and ice are thickest in March.

From Mallu with houses and some more lovely snow :)

From Zatzum. At least here it has a warm atmosphere thanks to the sunlight, I really love a weather like this, it’s cold yet feels warm, hmm I can’t remember where I got this kind of feeling.

FI-19817 from MsMoney. I like the way the snow makes a smooth white layer on the cottage roof.. it’s so even and smudgeless. This tiny house is really cute especially, I wonder how it looks inside it.
