Postcard from Iris Esther - A Blanket of Snow

We all know Jack Frost and King Winter, but fewer have heard the tale of Grandmother Snow. High above the world, in a quiet home where the moon keeps her company, she quilts the winter. Her thread is spun from cloud and mist, her needle hums with old songs, and her lap grows heavy with a blanket of snow. Yes, she is related to Frau Holle, they are distant cousins and keep in touch by sending letters in drifting feathers and whispers on the wind.

When she shakes it out, the quilt drifts gently over the earth — covering rooftops, fields, and forests, tucking sheep into their pens, and hushing the streams into whispers. It is Grandmother Snow who wraps the world in stillness, reminding us to rest, to sleep deeply, and to wait for spring.

This postcard, A Blanket of Snow, captures her timeless story, written by Iris Esther — a tender reminder of winter’s hush and the fairytales hidden in falling snow. Perfect for seasonal displays, letters to loved ones, or as a keepsake illustration of quiet wonder.
