this adorable puffin that flew out of my mailbox on Saturday. 
It was an amazing gift from Mae, who is so thoughtful and knows how to show it. Originally I was going to block my address with the mug, then realized the crocheted coaster would be better.
And because Lisca likes to see the postage stamps, this one is postmarked from Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland. I found the web site with the 2020 pig, but I couldn't get it to translate. UPDATE: It's now time to share your own drink inspired post this week. It can be
gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail
art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed
media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is
digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back
to a drink, any drink. Regardless,
please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T
gang will be by to visit. Please link only your T post and not your
blog in general. Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken
any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.

Beautiful postcard from Mae. I looked at the website but couldn't find anything in German. And you didn't say why you were drinking from a mug! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
What an absolutely GORGEOUS card. Love the pig stamp too.
Hello! what fun to receive a postcard from a blogging friend ~ I love puffins too :) Long time since my last visit ~ Hope to post tomorrow! Miss having T with everyone ~ Love, Karen
It is a beautiful postcard, and lovely stamp. The first thing I noticed about your iced tea, was not what it was in, but the fact there was no ice! LOL Happy T Day, Elizabeth.
That is so thoughtful of Mae. A beautiful card and an even more beautiful stamp.
I looked it up and the info about the stamp is in Icelandic. Thanks to Google translate I am able to tell you that the info about the stamp reads:
"Young Icelandic domestic animals IV - Pig - Self-adhesive - 50g outside Europe
Release date 07-05-2020
Designer Hlynur Olafsson/ Bara Kristinsdottir."
Another website tells me this:"The fourth and last set in Postphil’s series “The young of Iceland’s domestic animals” are to be released in May this year. After kids and kittens in 2017, calves and lambs in 2018 and puppies and horses in 2019, 2020 will see the release of the last of our “animals of honour”, the chick and the piglet.
Pigs first set hoof in Iceland with the first settlers (and their chickens!) at the end of the ninth century. It is believed that pigs lived almost wild after that. Many place names in Iceland refer to pigs, such as Svínafell (Pig mountain), Svínavatn (Pig lake), Galtarholt (pigs hillock), Galtalækur (Pig stream) etc… These names give us insight on the importance pigs must have had through the ages."
I hope this is helpful,
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Hi Elizabeth, I'm so glad the postcard arrived. As I wrote during the trip, we LOVED seeing the puffins and took all kinds of photos of them as well as buying post cards..
Post cards, much as I have always loved them, are much slower than the Internet. I did not see the stamp, which looks very neat! The ship has a mailing service for passengers -- you turn in the post cards and they do the rest. We were in a covid-safe bubble and would not have been allowed in a post office.
My favorite puffin is here: https://maefood.blogspot.com/2021/07/iceland.html

Beautiful postcard and stamp and I Love puffins very much too.
A very beautiful postcard from Mae! I love the flowers that the Puffin is sitting in.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Nice postcard. It was thoughtful of Mae to send you one from Iceland. That pig on the stamp is really cute and looks like something you would find in a children's book. And that looks like tea with your postcard. It looks like a nice afternoon or evening break. Hope you have a super T day my friend. Hugs-Erika
Puffins are great! Love the pig stamp. :)
Ohhh, they´re both so cute, the Puffin and the pig!
The Puffin wins, though.
The coaster is cute, too.
I had a .... "stool" from Ingo´s Grandma in that color - sadly after over 40 years the plastic was done. Awww. it had fur! And my family´s bathroom came in this green, too! I still have pics of my Bro and myself taking a bath in the shower together :-)
Oh, that green.
You had me at puffin! I love the pig stamp too.
Lovely of Mae to send you a postcard with a pretty bird and a cute stamp too :)
How fun to get happy mail like that! Sweet of Mae to send it and that fun stamp too. Adorabe critters that make me smile. Happy T-day! Hugz
Happy mail is the best. The puffin and the piggie are too cute. Happy T Day
Puffins are so attractive! I’ve always loved them. Thanks for your visit, Elizabeth. The full moons all have numerous names depending on which Native American tribe named them. When I was making the dolls I just chose the name I felt I could most easily depict.
What a cool postcard! Puffins are very cute.
Happy T day!
I love puffins! I keep a couple of links to live webcams in the sidebar at my blog. I even know a poem :)
What a wondrous postcard. So fun to get unexpected mail.
YOU take special care.

Puffins are so unusual - I've only seen them once but what a treat it was. How lovely of Mae to send it to you. That pig stamp is fun. Hugs, Chrisx

God has created so many creatures, and puffins are a part of His Creation.
