This was a totaly surprise! A good devil (:D ) sent me the Lighthouse of Esposende with the matching stamp as an Easter present. This was surely better than the traditional almonds! :)

How to kill an awesome cover... stealing a fox!

Yesterday I received an (another) example of how mean people can be. The damage on the envelope is acceptable, it was fully packed but stealing one stamp, damaging the whole set?



I can't stop looking at the missing fox... :/
