買一贈五


I bought a vintage postcard on ebay from a seller in the US two weeks ago. The card was made in Austria and the post office stamp on it dated April 5, 1909. It is a charming card featuring violets, lilies-of -the-valley, easter eggs and a rabbit playing mandolin. Of course, the violets were what attracted me in the first place.

Yesterday the card came in the mail. When I opened the envelope, I was thrilled to find not only this card, but 5 other violet-adorned cards!!! The seller attached a note saying that she had sensed that I fancied violets, so she searched her collection and found a few more cards with violets, and graciously sent them all to me!

A million thanks, snohunt, you are the best of all the on-line sellers I have ever dealt with! I will pass on your kindness...
