Finnish Moomin mail after a while - love these Jansson's original illustrations so much.

Pitkästä aikaa Muumi-postia Suomesta. Pidän näistä Janssonin kuvituksista tosi paljon.

Incoming postcards, part II

... and here you have the "Part two". Which one is your favorite?

... ja tässäpä se luvattu kakkososa. Mikä näistä on sinun suosikkisi?

Last swaps for a while?

Some of these cards were mailed this morning, some about a week ago already. At the moment I have one swap that needs to be arranged, but after that, I think, that's it until April. Huh! Our mailbox is telling its sad story as well; no mail for me today (that hasn't happened for a while).

Instead I'm still writing Christmas mail to all my pen pals and some "postcard pals" I've got to know during the years. That'll keep me busy for a while!

Sent cards: Special RR Group

The Just Postcards RR, which I "may" have mentioned a couple of times before, is absolutely the best RR I've ever participated in. As I've been part of the family for about a year now, I offered to open a little special group and send four Moomin postcards with a stamp representing Tove Jansson, the creator of these lovely characters. The cards were bought in the Moomin Museum and they originally have been painted by Jansson herself.

Here's what I ended up sending:

RR to Finland

RR to Ireland

RR to Lithuania

RR to the UK
