Postcard from Venice

How great to see a postcard from Mr Man, our Nuts'n'Bolts man and his travelling lady, Yolanda! Best read enlarged.

For those of you who don't know Mr Man - he has been on many adventures in some parts of the world, all over the South Island of NZ and now he is going further afield. The tag "Nuts'n'Bolts" find all the pictures and descriptions

That Flaming Lamborghini sure sounds sweet yet potent! It would probably make me want to do cartwheels, too! :)

[Pat Knowles]

Well I didn't think anyone sent postcards any more, I was obviously wrong!!!!
I think Yolanda is courting trouble leaning on the wall in her short skirt in the city of love, I think Mr Nuts & bolts man needs to have words with his lady friend!!!
I think she is definitely in the mood to drink too many ''Flaming Llamborghinis '' if Mr Man plays his cards right .............!!!

[Carole Imes]

What a life! I would love to see Venice! I sure enjoyed Mr. Man's travel notes. Jollipolly better beware of those Italian Casanovas...you really have to watch them. I was in Rome on my honeymoon and not even safe with my husband holding my hand ...LOL! One followed us in his motorcycle all the way to our hotel (Cavieleri Hilton at that time) way up in the hills. That Kahlua drink sounds delicious. I think I'm ready for a vacation!!!!!

[Sharon Lee]

Nice to see their travels again... How I wish

[Bep]

Venice is really beautiful!! Wish I could go there for another vacation. Being a grandmother I don't have to be afraid of those Italian Casanovas. ;-)

[Laura Thornton]

Lucky dogs Yolanda and Nuts 'n' Bolts man. They do get around! LOL.

[Kerri]

Cool

[Cathy Donohoue]

So glad you got a card from my favorite pair.
Hope they are having a glorious time!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Venice eh! They're really getting around xx

[Leonie Mogridge]

I loved Venice! So nice to hear they are still enjoying the holiday.

[Jo]

Postcards are wonderful things and this is extra special:))

[Ann Stenson]

Oh this is just brilliant Maggie.....Those two are having a wild old time!....Love it, and them! ; )

[bkb in the city]

Always nice to hear from them

[Lyn]

Well, I was certainly wondering when and where they would surface next!

[Rick Schies]

I must say, I am a little envious with all the traveling they do

[Frida]

This is beautiful Maggie, I would love to go through that lace with you when the happy couple is back.

[Corinne]

i've done my honeymoon there.... how lucky they are !

[Tessa]

Looks like he is have a good time out and about.

[Jennifer]

I hope she can swim, just in case! Such a fun creative postcard.

[Mr. Spock]

Haha, Mr Man and Yolanda have reached Europe! Maybe I'll bump into them in Belgium someday? :)

[Dixie Goode]

This is interesting

[arefin]

beautiful card with nice pictures!

[Yvonne]

Sounds like they are having a great time. What will you do with all the lace??? Oh, that Yolanda is not settling down at all. She is such a spitfire.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Thanks Yvonne for following through my pictures. I thought I might turn the lace into Peter Pan collars and give them to friends! Or maybe a doilie or two....ahem!

[Maggiemae]

@frida The islands around Venice are so beautiful with their coloured houses right on the canal. Another island called Murano has wonderful glass sculptures.

[Maggiemae]

@spock Yolanda might get a taste for lace and see the Belgian stuff, do you think?

[Maggiemae]

@jesperani If you fell into the canals in Venice, Jennifer you would be whipped off straight to hospital - they are so fiilthy!

[Maggiemae]

@cocobella That would have been so romantic, Corinne! Cruising down in a gondola with an opera singer poling you onwards!

[Maggiemae]

@annbo Thank you Ann - and yes - they dont seem to be short of money - that hotel costs a buck or two!

[Maggiemae]

@cdonohoue Thanks Cathy! Yolanda had fun choosing the stamp for the postcard!

[Mr. Spock]

@maggiemae Lace from Bruges is the best in the world!

[Leslie]

The life of Mr. Man and his cycle... wish I was Yolanda

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, you just never know where they're going to pop up next! It's always fun to read of their adventures.

[michelle mcintyre]

Love the postcard of their travels - l would love to visit Venice!!

[Kimberly Balychev]

Oh I just love these postcards you make my dear! And sounds like they are having a mighty fine trip! I have never been to Venice and always wanted to go! Is it as beautiful as everyone says??

[Anatoly]

I love Mr. Man loves you, Maggie, and he even doesn't forget about your friends in 365! Very creative! Please, send him our greetings, too!

[Maggiemae]

@kbalychev It is out of this world, Kimberly - the canals are many, dark and the colourful houses rise up beside these waters. The canal boats are driven by guys who don't quite make the opera scenes but are much loved singing Italian opera as they pole down the waterways!

[Maggiemae]

@anden Thank you Anatoly - Mr Man has relatives in Russia - a story that comes from my own mother who had a sister who left England in 1929 while they were both on a trip there from NZ. She went with a Russian to Moscow and had a child who is my cousin. She stayed there for the rest of her life but did visit NZ once. Her grandchildren have been given a trip by another relative to NZ in April this year and I will meet with them.
