altered zuidlaren


A Dutch postcrosser named Jackelien (gotta dig the name) from Zuidlaren sent this clever altered card. She used a postcard showing Jip and Janneke, the duo from the well-known children's book series, and added a view of Zuidlaren and another of Berend Botje (worth a Google search). On the back she wrote a Dutch nursery rhyme about old Berend, who sailed away never to be seen again. The Heineken? She was drinking it as she wrote the card. Cheers!
