Miffy by Dick Bruna

Today, I received an envelope filled with great cards fitting my Dick Bruna collection:

Tänään saapui kirjekuori, josta löytyi upeita kortteja Dick Bruna -kokoelmaani täydentämään:

Stamps and illustrations

I guess I have written this thousand times, but I'll say it once more: Dick Bruna and Fiep Westendorp belong to my all-time favorite illustrators. So, maybe it is no wonder that I found these stamps especially cool...

Olen varmaan kirjoittanut tämän tänne satoja kertoja, mutta menköön nyt vielä kerran: Dick Bruna ja Fiep Westendorp ovat yksiä kaikkien aikojen suosikkikuvittajiani. Ei siis liene ihme, että nämä postimerkit miellyttivät silmääni erityisen paljon...

Official cards: Coincidences, part I

I received all these cards on the same day - they all belong to the same series of cards and they were sent by four individual people. And yet they are all different!

Sain nämä kortit samana päivänä - kaikki kuuluvat samaan korttisarjaan ja ne tulivat neljältä eri ihmiseltä. Siitä huolimatta kaikki ovat keskenään erilaisia!

I love Dick Bruna's illustrations; they are so simple yet filled with bright colors and cuteness. 

May he rest in peace.

Rakastan Dick Brunan kuvituksia; ne ovat samanaikaisesti niin yksinkertaisia, mutta silti supersuloisia ja täynnä kirkkaita värejä.
Rauha hänen muistolleen.

Lots of Miffy stamps

... and other great stamps from all over the world. I'm especially happy about the two new EUROPA 2015 -stamps to my little collection.

... ja muutama muu upea postimerkki muualta maailmasta. Erityisen iloinen olen noista kahdesta EUROPA 2015 -merkistä, jotka ovat uusi lisä pieneen kokoelmaani.

Tyrion Lannister in my mailbox and other tales

Last week passed by at lightspeed and I can't understand it's already another Monday. My mailbox has been happier than ever, but due to lack of time I haven't had the chance to sit down and sort it out... So just imagine how my desk looks like right now!

Today I have a "night shift" at work, so I'm planning to get some order to this chaos before heading there. As usual, I started with postcards - here are some gems from the past week:

Viime viikko kiiti ohitse salamannopeasti, enkä voi millään uskoa, että taas on maanantai. Postiluukku voi koko viikon hyvin paksusti, mutta ajanpuutteesta johtuen olen joutunut vain kasaamaan saapunutta postia pöydälleni - voitte ehkä kuvitella, miltä se tällä hetkellä näyttää!

Tänään menen myöhäiseen iltavuoroon, joten koitan saada vähän järjestystä tähän kaaokseen ennen sitä. Aloitin normaaliin tapaan lajittelemalla saapuneet postikortit - tässäpä muutama aarre viime viikolta:
