This card from Neterlands is not a traditional postcard but a greeting card. It is, however, quite cute.

USA - Indiana
This card is of Purdue Pete, an unofficial (but widely used) mascot of Purdue University. Pete, in this card, is carrying a sledgehammer (symbolic of being a boilermaker) and has a gold brick on his head as a hat.
Pete was originally the mascot of The University Bookstore, a bookstore directly across from the university in 1940.

USA - Indiana
A lovely black-and-white card of two cats (one black, one white) walking side by side and leaning up against each other with their tails draped around the other.
I got this card probably when one of the local Boarders Bookstores was closing just because I thought it was an awesome photo card.

Ukraine
I Am Ukrainian and I Cannot Keep Calm
This card is a play on the now-famous World War II-era UK poster "Keep Calm and Carry On." It came from Ukraine. It is in reference to the EuroMaiden of 2014, or as the writer states it "in honor of the Revolution in Ukraine in February 2014).
The card has an awesome stamp of a rooster. She also drew this very cute purple/pink caat saying Greetings from Ukraine" while holding a flag in the colors of Ukraine's colors. The blue rectangles on the scan below are omissions covering my and the sender's address. .
