This card is a little over 8 inches by 11 inches! Yet it made it through the mail with no problems.
postmarked in 2013 with a blackberry stamp from Finland - the sender writes that blackberries are not naturally found in Finland and that is why they are not on the postcard - but I love that it is a fruit postcard and a fruit stamp :D

That is one BIG postcard. Finnish postcards are great, love 'em!
yes, Finland has great cards, and their stamps are great too! I have some that have stickers on them, all different shapes and some that are even 3-D!
