It's a Danish postmark and stamp. I think it's cool!
A very nice card and hand-tatted lace bookmark!***
The card has photos of "The Old Town"
They have houses dating as far back as 1550 A.D.!
If you would like to know more about it,
then here is a link to The Old Town website.

Here's another view of the beautiful tatted bookmark 
Susanne told me she tatted it in size 20 Flora brand thread.
I think it's so pretty!
Tusind Tak, Susanne!
(Thank you, Susanne!)

Some of you may recall that I posted about a Christmas tatting exchange that Susanne and I did last Christmas. She is a very talented tatter and if you'd like to see more of her work feel free to visit her blog. Be sure to stop and say hello before you run off to the Danish part of blog~town, though! I always enjoy your visits and each and every one of your comments means so much!
XOXO

Thank you Marie Reed for including this post on:
Welcome PFF-ers!

O.k....that's it! We just HAVE to plan a trip to Denmark to visit dear Susanne! I agree, old fashioned snail mail is the best!
This is such a pretty piece...it reminds me of a garden trellis with beautiful blooming roses. hugs, Linda
Linda is right, it DOES look like a trellis. The little flowers are SO pretty! I especially like the end, it's a perfect curve and the picots are so even! You have a very happy mailbox!!
Thanks for adding me to your list! That put a big smile on my face!
Ann
that is the prettiest bookmark ever!!! the pattern and color are just lovely!!!
That is so beautiful. How cool is that that it came from half way around the world! I'd save the envelope too, I love different country stamps.
Y'all are making me want to get my tatting shuttles out and work on some pieces. Tatting is such a lovely art.
The bookmark colours are just you! Denmark is a lovely country, I've been there and once worked for a Danish company.
Very lovely bookmark and colors
Hi Lady ShuttleMaker! Oh, I agree! Wouldn't that be fun! We could go and have a tat-o-rama Danish Stlyle!
Hi Linda, thank you! It does kinda look like a garden trellis! I agree!
Hi Ann! Thank you, I'm glad you like my friend's tatting.
Hi Lori! Thanks! I'm sure you just made Susanne's day! I agree it is so very pretty!
Welcome back Deja View Designs! That would be wayyyyy cool if you did decide to get out your shuttles and start tatting!
Ha ha! Sally, you noticed I like pink? What was your first clue? LOL! That is so neat that you had the opportunity to live in Denmark! I have always wanted to visit there!
Thank you, Carla! I think so, too!
Hi Dottie! Thank you! Well, if you ever decide you do want to learn there are resources available!

Again...you and your "tatty" friends are amazing! I have this much patience, - , that's it! I could never make anything like that! So darn pretty!
1550 AD? I might have something in my fridge that dates back to then!!! ;)
m ^..^
TattingChic you have written another fine message here - and I am happy the bookmark cheered you up.
I also want to say thank you for all the nice words said about my tatting here. I am blushing but honoured too.
OOOh my gosh pink and white tatting. I love love love it...how you did this is beyond me but your talent abounds. Thank you for sharing.
Pat

Oh my goodness, how delicate and dainty these works are. Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment.
TattingChic! You are my gift today! Yes! Yes! Yes! The Federalist Papers! That and also Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America. Maybe my liberal friends could read Tocqville's definition of liberalism which he calls democratic despotism.
You are a rare gem to mention that because the truth is, I know most of those who engage me in conservative ideology discussion and criticize conservativism have not read it nor the works of the founding fathers. I don't even think they have heard of it.
Last year when my sister drove us around NYC, we passed in front of the US Customs' Building now known as Alexander Hamilton US Customs House. I had goosebumps because of its beautiful beaux arts design and then I remember Alexander Hamilton co-writing the Federalist papers.
Of course liberals today mostly want to overturn what our founding fathers created and install a marxist and socialist government.
That is the prettiest bookmark! (What are you reading right now?) Fun mail from friends is the best... and even more fun if that friend lives far way. I hope you get to Denmark one day...it is a beautiful country! If you do get to Scandinavia--do stop in on my here in Norway :o) Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
What a great piece!
I don't know what's prettier, the gorgeous bookmark, or those stunning stamps. What a lovely gift to receive.
Thanks Fox! I appreciate the comment about the presentation. That makes my day!
Ha ha m ^..^! You're conducting science experiments in your fridge, aye?
Thank you, Susanne. I'm glad you like the blog post about your lovely bookmark. It is all true and you are talented in tatting!
Hi Pat! Thank you and...well...I did not do it, my friend Susanne tatted it up! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Birthday Marie Antoinette! You are so sweet! The different international stamps are kinda cool.
Thank you, Rose!
Thank you for that, Ces! I feel a renewed interest in the subject of politics...something I normally avoid, really, it's terrible that I am not more involved. I will have to look for Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America the next time I'm shopping for books!
Hi Tracy! Thank you, your visits are always a pleasure! Oh, yes, if I ever do land in Denmark I will do my utmost to stop in Norway to say hello to you!
Thanks, Jen!
Thank you, Lace Hearts. I'm glad you like them both! Thank you for visiting!
How kind of Susanne to send you a gift in the mail. Isn't it always a thrill to get something by mail that isn't a bill or advertisinment?
The bookmark is very pretty. Just think, whenever you open the book your reading you will get double the pleasure in being reminded of a kindness someone did for you.
Blessing surely do come in many ways, don't they?
Have a great week.
Lois
OMG, this is so beautiful. You should start a journal of all the tatting that you receive from all over the globe. I think that you have single-handed taught all of us about your craft. I am diligently attempting to paint your tatting inside a painting for you.
Have a lovely day.
Karen
THAT IS JUST STUNNING!
Hi there,
That is so pretty! Love the color!
Thank you for your sweet comments!
Can't wait to see your 4TH of July post!!
Rosemary
Hi tatting chic!
Love for craft is an universal language isn't it? ;-)
Lovely blog... and what a pretty bookmark from your friend!
Hope to read you again soon.
Greetings from Italy
Hi Tatt Chic,
What a beautiful tatted bookmark from a talented tatter. And, to recieve the pics of Denmark too is very special. Susanne does gorgeous work and the colors so pretty.
Best wishes for a great 4th of July weekend.
Blessings, Celestina Marie
OH My what a lovely book mark... You I have no idea what you are talking about most of the time about tatting...lol; but I just love to stop by and see all the beautiful things you make. I am so impressed with your work and the work of your friend who sent you the book mark. I read an article that tatting is a lost art, well they should stop by your blog.... I think it is found again.....
Thank you so much for your very sweet comment, I wish you and your family a happy Fourth of July.
Hugs;
Alaura
What a lovely comment, Lois! Thank you! It was kind of my dear friend Susanne! Yes, I thought of how it is a thrill to get something besides a bill. I thought of this as I pulled a bill out of the mailbox today! The friendships I've made in blogland are definately a blessing! Thank you!
Hi Karen! I have definately considered keeping a journal, but then, I want to be able to actually pick up my tatting and use it, LOL! I guess for now my blog IS my tatting journal in a way. Karen, I am so touched that you would want to paint something with tatting in it! WOW!!! I cannot wait to see it! That is really, truly VERY special, thank you!
THANK YOU, VICKI C! ;)
Thanks, Rosemary! My plan is to post it on the 4th at midnight PST!!! Look for your darling box then!
Hello and welcome, Leideedisusy! I'm so glad you stopped in all the way from Italy, no less! There are some fabulous tatters there in Italy! I love your parchment art and crochet! Yes, I would agree that the love for craft is the universal language! Thank you so much!
Hi Celestina Marie! Thank you for your kind (and true) words about my friend, Susanne, and her tatting! I hope you have a wonderful July 4th weekend, too!
Hi Alaura! Very good point about tatting NOT being a lost art! Many tatters online feel that way, too, because tatting is alive and thriving in the online community! Thanks for visiting and good luck with your move!
What a lovely gift to receive, it's beautiful. Thank you for coming to visit my blog and leaving a comment
Oh, how lovely. I love a good surprise.
Hello Tatting Chic, The book mark is truly lovely and of course I love the pink color too. I am sure the lovely gifts will definitely perk up your spirits and make you feel better. Hugs Judy
Tatting Chic... my but this bookmark is adorable... if you like to read as much as I do, then this is going to come in very handy!!.... and you are right... snail mail just has that little bit more excitement to it... tangible I guess. Hugs.
That's a lovely bookmark.
Word verification is whimp--it sounds like a good word for a whiney wimp.
Hi Miss 376, no...no...thank YOU for coming to visit my blog, LOL!
Thanks Our Shabby Cottage. I agree that a pleasant surprise is the best!
Hi Judy! Yes, the lovely color and design are both very nice. The fact that someone was thinking of me (in a good way) definately is a lift!
Hi Heather! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like the bookmark. I must confess, I used to read a lot more than I do now. I do more tatting than reading, LOL!
Thanks for visiting Postcardy.
Howdy
Happy PFF what a fabulous post.
Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous gifts with us today.
I needed to step away from the hurried feeling of the electronic age for a moment and enjoy the thrilling peace of heart and mind that comes from the hand written,hand sewn and hand sent .
How very wonderful of you to share your happiness .
Thank you so much.
Happy 4th of July to you .
Happy Trails
What a beautiful gift!! The prettiest bookmark ever and from so far away, how cool is that? I would keep the envelope for sure :) Great ephemera!

Have a Happy 4th of jUly!!!

Aarhus is such a beautiful city. I had a HUGE crush on a guy there once. ahhhh But I was only there for 3 days, so it didn't last long lol
Anyway, what a beautiful bookmark and such lovely handwork. I'm sure you were so excited to receive such a lovely gift!
WOW!!!! Just a gorgeous, gorgeous piece. I so wish I could tat, but I can't. My aunt is a wonderful tatter though. Thanks for sharing with us.
HAppy PFF!
Debby
what a wonderful post!
you have a great creativity!
happy PFF
xx
Beautiful bookmark and photos!! What a lovely package to bring sunshine to your day!!
Hi Terry! I know what you mean. Tatting is so very opposite of most of the activities we experience today that give us instant gratification. Tatting is very painstakingly slow!
Hi Amy! Yeah, I guess it is great ephemera! I'm glad you like the bookmark. It is kinda neat that it's from so far away!
Hi Vintage at Heart! Thanks I'm glad you like the bookmark and can appreciate tatting.
Hi Kirby3131! I'm so glad you stopped by! So, you had a crush on a guy from Aarhus? Sounds complicated, LOL! How lucky for you that you got to go to Denmark!
Hi Debby! Happy PFF back to you! Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by!
Thank you, Marina Miranda! You are so sweet! I am glad you like the post. Happy PFF to you, too!
Thank you, Bejeweled! I'm glad you like the bookmark and photos. Thanks for visiting!
You must really love when that postman comes knocking!

Tatting Chic, I know that you and Bella are friends. I created a new special award and you are one of its first recipients. Will you please do me the honor of accepting it? Thanks.
Hi Victoria, well, sometimes I love it, LOL! Usually he just brings me bills like everyone else!
Oh, dear Ces! Thank you! How sweet of you to make an award in honor of our lovely friend Bella! I will gladly accept this award! Thank you, so much!
That is a lovely bookmark.
The postage a great.
Have a beautiful weekend.

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I'm not nearly that talented but I do wish you the best of health!
Hi Robin, thank you! Glad you like the bookmark and postmark/stamp! It's nice to have you stop by for a minute!
Thank you so much Elyse! Your visits are always a pleasure!
