Standard Postcard - "Takes Time"

Send a little seaside calm through the letterbox.
This Blooming Lantern postcard features a warm, whimsical coastal scene: a determined hermit crab making its slow-and-steady way across the sand, a tiny seashell cottage, and waves whispering in the background. The message reads:

“Even the sea takes time to smooth the sharpest stone.”

It’s a soft nudge toward patience - a reminder that growth, healing, and becoming your favourite version of yourself all happen in gentle waves, not rushes.

Perfect for:
• encouraging a friend
• adding a mindful quote to your mood board
• journaling or pinning on your wall
• sending a smile “just because”

Like all Blooming Lantern pieces, it carries a quiet glow of comfort, whimsy, and hope.
