If you see this message, it means you’ve received my very first “message in a bottle,” marking the start of an entire series.
We usually buy postcards to share our experiences from travels or specific places. But what if you got yourself a postcard not to send a message — but to receive one? That was the very first thought when creating the initial batch.
Yet, it doesn’t end there. There’s more to it.
I want to connect with humans again — because we are more than just clicks and likes. I want people to feel something when they read a note on paper, from an unexpected sender.
I want them to encounter this surprise in a place where they hadn’t expected to receive a message at all.
I want to connect with like-minded people — those who seek beauty, excitement, and calmness in places of exchange, novelty, and knowledge.
I’ve always known: I have way too many thoughts and see far too many things that often go unnoticed. So, the series will be all about glimpses and short stories I would like others to see and hear, too.
But it’s not just about me — it’s also about you, as well.
So feel free: Who are you? What is your message in a bottle to me? To others?
What brought you to pick up your “reversed postcard”? How did that day start? How did it go? How did it end?
Below, you’ll find a comment canvas — a space for you to share something, whatever it is.

Ciao!
My story with your postcard happened yesterday, when we were with my friend in Bellagio. Crossing the street we saw the card and our first thought was like “does somebody leave it in the middle of nowhere?”. Then we read the message on the other side of the card and understood that it is a unique and original way to show who you are as an artist and especially as a person.
P.S. I love collecting postcards from the places that I have been, and it is the best “souvenir” that makes memories alive so for sure it will be on my “collecting wall”! 🤍
And also cannot wait to see how the seeds will blooming 😌
Hi Tami,
you are the very first comment replying to the message in the bottle and I am very happy in reached you! I used to have a “collecting wall” which had postcards from my friend’S journeys and I am happy I am now on the other side – my postcard being a part of yours. I am glad the postcard in the middle of the street got discovered by you as I crossed the street twice and wondered whether anyone will ever discover it. But it is meant for people who seek beauty in details, and very apparent you are one of them! 🙂 I wish you all the best and hope you life blooms as the flowers!
Hello. I have encountered your message va postcard at Lake Como. What a unique idea. May you be blessed for your desire to reach others.
Hi Buffy, thank you for taking the time and sending me this lovely message! Glad it reached you, take care! 🙂
Ciao Mercik
My name is Ameni, i found your postcard on my way to the train station in Como Camerlata to pick up a friend of mine and I was basically running to be on time because they already arrived an waiting for me. I stopped for a second and it was hanging there, the postcard, on a window of some Piano shop I guess, i was curious to be honest, i’ve always been, what’s this thing doing there and whats written exactly. I read it and I immediately loved the concept of it, I’ve always loved plants especially flowers. So I’ll make sure to update you on instagram about the growth.
Take care
xx Ameni
Ciao Ameni!
We where walking with my friend that walk of 10-15minutes to the train station and where also in a hurry to catch our train back to Milano. I am glad I took the second to place one of the postcards there, I could not resist and had to stop – and same apparently happened to you! I think it is always worth stopping from rushing and hurrying in our daily lives.
Thank you for your words and hope the flower turns well!
