Postcard Challenge - Singapore & Iceland


And the correspondance continues . . . 

SINGAPORE - Anton to Sofanisba

Dearest Sofanisba — was sent out here to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore to check out their collection and meet with some dealers. I was not offered a room here, but they did give me a V.I.P. tour including the sky park. We had drinks up there after our meeting and it was spectacular! Imagine the infinity pool up 200 metres! Have been thinking about you a lot since our last communication. Please write soon. Your loving father. P.S. Joachim said your mother was in Innsbrück?

Here is a link for the Marina Bay Sands. I would think there would be more images available. There are some, but maybe they are keeping it exclusive, or I just didn't do a great job of searching.

ICELAND - Sofanisba to Anton

Dear Daddy, I'm sorry. I was not shutting you out. Mother came to see me and since it's been a while I decided to follow  her on her latest "quest". She met a group of spiritualists that were heading to the thermal springs of Iceland. We have been at Blue Lagoon for the last 2 days. It is quite beautiful, as if the water and sky were one and the same. Mother seems content right now. She feels she has found THE ANSWER . . . again. I may stay with her a bit longer. Ms. Simmons has surely returned to the States by now. Your Loving Daughter, Sofanisba

  7. Now that's weird, I know I commented on this yesterday but there's no sign of my comment. Maybe the Icelandic elves have taken it, they are cheeky like that! Both postcards are great and I particularly like the one for Iceland. It's very dramatic and I like the stamp on the front. Are the layers torn tissue paper?
