]]> Unique Symbols from Vilnius, Lithuania is a company that creates beautiful postcards and other personalized gifts perfect for weddings or other special occasions.

“Undoubtedly summer is the wedding season. This celebration is one of the most special in life. That is why wedding guests always look for ways to surprise the newlyweds,” Unique Symbols wrote on Bored Panda. “We’ve decided that our minimalist cards can help to do that. In these postcards, everyday life things reflect love. We believe these are the most wonderful postcards for all artistic, modern, crazy and loving newlyweds.”

Unique Symbols love, admire and appreciate nature very much.

“We always seek to protect our environment. That is why we choose recycled paper that is chlorine free, meets the mark of responsible forestry and is manufactured with 100% renewable green energy,” they added.

You can find Unique Symbols on Instagram where they share all of their beautiful postcards and other illustrations. Scroll down and check them out.

]]> Francesca Colussi Cramer was excited when she discovered a cute little vintage shop near her home in North Wales. She purchased some old photos and postcards and started creating embroidery patterns on them.

“Adding thread on paper alters an existing surface and creates such a rich texture and contrast with the original image itself,” Cramer says. “It’s both visual and tactile, and doing it on paper, instead of fabric, comes with challenges and differences that I find more intriguing every day. It is a sort of conversation with the past in the images, like lifting a layer of dust and letting the color through, adding another chapter.”

Thank you so much for all the photographs and postcards that you sent me. Some of you trusted me with very precious family photographs. It’s going to be so hard to choose! I’ll go and collect the last parcels arriving today at Mostyn, because, well… I didn’t realised that the 31 was a Sunday! Hand embroidery on my own old Egon Schiele’s 2003 calendar. The title is in Italian because at the time I was still living there: “Casa con biancheria stesa ad asciugare” 1917 (which means “house with laundry hanging out to dry”). But I always thought that the tree was in serious need of some flowers… #francescacramer #francescacolussi #contemporaryembroidery #embroideryonpaper #textileartist #contemporaryart #embroidery #stitchedintervantions #dscolor #dslooking #embroideredphoto #mixedmedia #thatsdarling #bandofun #flashesofdelight #design #art #contemporarycraft #appropriation #textileart #textileartist #egonschiele #schiele

]]> Nowadays, not many people actually send physical postcards and it’s a real shame. Even though communication is quicker and much more efficient now, there’s something romantic about old-school letters and postcards that are a rare sight today.

That’s exactly why we consider this adorable dog so lucky. A dachshund named Alfie has his own postcard collection that you can buy and send to other people. Alfie lives in Essen and “works” as a model and comedian. He’s a star on Instagram and the main character on Alfie’s Greetings postcards. See them below (swipe right) or on the website. We’ve also included other cute photos of Alfie.

Enjoy!

(Advertisement)Dear friends and family members the day has come. If you have already celebrated all successes as an actor, singer/Songwriter and model you have to take the next step to something new. After intensive and careful thinking I have started to design my own greeting cards. I had a little (only a little!) bit of help from my mama who took me as an inspiration. I created four Christmas/winter cards and some cards for everyday use. (Birthdays etc) . . All cards with an A6 size are my own designs and printed in-house on 300g thick card with texture. The texture gives the prints a nice vintage character. They are all packaged and stamped by hand. . . Price is three Euros per card exclusive shipping costs but including a brown ‘kraft’ envelope. . Swipe to see all the motifs. . . Unfortunately I don’t have an online shop yet so you can only order via dm for now. I will add all the motifs to my story highlights. . . Thanks for your time. ALFIE *kiss* . . #hejalfie#monochromatic#liveauthentic#thehappynow#mydogist#mydogiscutest#sausagedog#essen#ruhrpott#makemoments#vscobest#dogcorner#petbox#hundeleben#weeklyfluff#minimalmood#apartmentlife#mywestelm#dogaesthetic#aestheticedit#petfancy#dachshund#illustrationart#newbeginnings#nordicstyle#teckel#hundefotografie#cards

(Advertisement)History lesson with Alfie: 👼🏼 . . In Germany many people believe that it is not Santa Claus who brings the presents, but the Christkind (the holy child). Since I am already on the naughty list with Santa Paws, I try my luck with the Christkind. So, write a card with your wishes, put it on the windowsill, leave the window open a bit, otherwise the Christkind or its angels can't come in and then keep all your fingers crossed. If you are lucky, you will find an empty windowsill the next day. . . collar/bow tie from rnd_paws . . . #hejalfie#dachshund#dackel#puppyeyes#dackelliebe#minidachshund#sausagedog#doxie#christmasvibes#merryandbright#makeitblissful#hundemodel#petfluencer#babyitscoldoutside#mydogiscutest#puppylove#bassotto#dailyfluff#furbaby#ruhrpott#interiorinspo#santapaws#teckel#feelingfestive#christmaspets#dogsbeingbasic#alliwantforchristmas#hundeleben#christmaslist#christmasdecorations

My dear friends, colleagues, relatives, I wish you an incredibly delicious Christmas with your loved ones. I just came out of the forest. I helped Santa Paws all night long with my Beagle uncle Dusty. That was so exhausting that Dusty immediately lost 2 grams of his Beagle flab. . Disclaimer: I am fibbing, I have not come out of the forest at all but I’m lying lazily in bed and have slept for 14 hours like a baby. . Disclaimer2: We just didn't have a new Christmas picture anymore, heheh. . Disclaimer3: I promise improvement next year. . Thank you all for being there. Alfie.♥ . . . #hejalfie#christmas#christmaseve#essen#sausagedogcentral#zwergdackel#teckel#merryandbright#thegreatoutdogs#petfluencer#dogslife#hundemodel#instadog#holidaymood#ourplayfulstyle#abmlifeissweet#santapaws#merrychristmas#adventuretime#theweekoninstagram#fromwhereihide#blackdogsrule#weihnachten#uoaroundyou#naturelovers#vscobest#minidachshund#ruhrpott#forests

WOOF?! • – Hello human, there’s somebody at the door and wants to come in. Can I bark please? – No Alfie, not today okay? – Okay. • Wouldn’t it be nice if you could tell this to that little rascal and he would be quiet ? That dachshunds are stubborn and like to bark is a well known fact. Alfie doesn’t bark non stop, but he has a problem when guests come over. (Shame on me that I like to invite people! :D) He thinks he has to defend his territory against strangers and doesn’t listen anymore. (Fun fact: 5 minutes later he likes to kiss our guests.) We have sought for professional help now. More about that later. • Is or was barking a problem for you too? Feel free to share your experience. . . . #dachshund#lieblingshund#wetnose#barkhappy#happydoghappyme#sausagedog#dackelliebe#dackelblick#woofwoof#bestwoof10k#ruhrpottliebe#igwoofs#dailybarker#dogisgood#dogmom#ilovemydog#rufflife#abmlifeishappy#designmilk#thedogist#obsessedwithmydog#teckel#happypup#seelenhund#aestheticdoglife#hundeliebe#dognose#souldog#dogmoments#dogsarelife
