Great stamps

Lovely stamps I've received on postcards during the last weeks. Do you have a favorite?

Ihania postimerkkejä, joita olen viime viikkoina saanut saapuvan postin mukana. Mikä on sinun suosikkisi?

Mail from Scandinavia + Åland

Yay! Found these cards in our mailbox yesterday and today. It is rather uncommon to receive mail from these parts of Europe, so I consider these three cards as a jackpot!

Jee! Nämä kortit saapuivat eilen ja tänään. Näistä Euroopan kolkista tulee harvemmin postia, joten pidän tätä kolmikkoa suoranaisena jättipottina.

Official cards: Mail and books

There are so many beautiful cards related to the essentials of many snailmailers' life: books and mail.

Maailmassa on hurjan paljon kauniita kortteja, jotka kuuluvat monen etanapostiharrastajan suosikkijuttuihin; kirjoihin ja postiin.

It really makes one's heart melt when you receive such a bunch of beautiful postcards at once!

Tällainen määrä upeita kortteja kertakolauksella vetää väkisinkin suun hymyyn!

Monday mail

Sushi and Norwegian trolls were to be found in the mailbox yesterday - what did the mailman bring to you?

Eilen postilaatikosta löytyi sushia ja norjalaisia peikkoja - mitä sinun postinjakajasi toi muassaan?

Lots of received letters!

I've been a busy bee since our vacation, so unfortunately I'm "a little" behind with my letters. Here are the ones I have on my desk right now - and, hopefully, tomorrow they'll be a lot less than 11.

Loman jälkeen olen ollut melkoisen kiireinen, minkä vuoksi vastaamattomien kirjeiden pinoni on valitettavasti päässyt paisumaan turhankin suureksi. Nämä odottelevat tarttumista pöydälläni juuri nyt - ja huomenna tähän aikaan näitä on toivottavasti huomattavasti vähemmän kuin 11 kappaletta.

Sent letters, week 18/2016

These letters went out about 1,5 weeks ago, and at least the majority of them has arrived. Colorful mail is always a good thing!

Nämä kirjeet lähtivät matkaan puolisentoista viikkoa sitten, ja valtaosan pitäisi olla jo perillä. Värikäs posti on aika jees!
