Just covers...

Some covers I've received in the past months.

This one is a piece of art, I absolutely adore it!


A truly special issue from Finland!

And more examples of the great covers I receive on the Philatelic RR of Postcrossing (together with the trees cover):




And a nice R.A.S. surprise from Italy, that brought inside 3 lovely fox cards!

China covers!

First the cover that can be the first letter I've ever received from China. I received it from a swap previous to Postcrossing era.


The other 2 are more recent, already 2009.


Although I mainly collect european countries only I must say chinese stamps are very interesting. Very colorful and traditional. And another advantage: they are real stamps, not those awful sticker stamps european and north american post offices insist on issuying! Keep it that way, please!

Lots of covers...

First, my "cover of the week". An issue of stamps from 1974, the year I was born. From loving Sara, who else? :D


Second one of my "cards of the week" - they were so many - with a matching stamp on the cover!


Now random covers I received in the past months that were waiting to be scanned (I have more but those are for another day!)

This beautiful Moomin cover was a very nice surprise with the first day issue!


A Christmas cover from Germany, with a publicity cancelation of Mexico:


Another one, with the complete issue, and sent by a non-collector. A really nice surprise!


Estonian stamps... can never be enough of them!


Collectors can't complaint about this Dutch cover cancelation!!!


And to finish today's entry, a cover from Russia. Is that my missing fox??? :D

Blue week

Another great cover from Estonia. I specially like the special cancellation!

And another one from Slovenia. The stamps are wonderful!

Pro Patria 2009

Past week has been one of my best weeks ever on Postcrossing with so many mail received from my loved Switzerland. Here's another great example, with the block stamp and label:

Literature FDC

This week I received this beautiful FDC from Belgium as a gift. And my birthday is one month away! 8)

April's last covers

The Philatelic RR in Postcrossing Forum have been giving me much fun and awesome stamps and covers.

Amongst others, I choose these 2 to show today. They came from Estonia and Brazil and are both related to Nature/Animals (a theme I love) and both amazing. How is it possible NOT to love stamps after receiving letters like these?! ; )




And now a cover I received in the last days of March/first days of April. I just found it among others! It came from Hong Kong and was sent by bird lover Ed. : )
I love the combination of the grey shades cover with the colorful stamp.

Europa 2009 - Astronomy

Today I received my first 2009 Europa stamps today! It came in a blue envelope and a hand cancellation, which makes it even more interesting.
