Otters from Czech Republic

Oh my, just look at these tiny otters; aren't they cute? And please note the matching stamp!

Kuka voisi vastustaa näitä söpöjä pikkusaukkoja? Postimerkkikin sopii teemaan!

Otters from Vietnam

This is probably the prettiest maxicard I have ever seen.

Tämä on varmaan ihanin koskaan näkemäni maksimikortti.

Some great cards

It is really hard to say which one of these would be my #1 favorite...

On tosi vaikea nostaa tästä joukosta yhtä korttia ylitse muiden...

I love coffee, part I

My collection of coffee (and other hot drinks) postcards keeps on growing... Recently I have received many new ones that fit the theme - here's the first bunch of them:

Kahviaiheisten postikorttien (sekä muiden kuumien juomien) kokoelmani kasvaa kasvamistaan... Viime aikoina olen vastaanottanut monta uutta, teemaan sopivaa korttia - tässä ensimmäinen satsi:

It's a family thing!

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of coffee - and coffee postcards! This one is probably the cutest I have seen in a while:

Ei ole mikään salaisuus, että rakastan kahvia - ja kahviaiheisia postikortteja, totta kai! Tämä lienee söpöin hetkeen näkemäni kahvikortti:

More surprises (to the world)!

... And some "surprises" I have sent myself during the last month or so.

... Ja tässä pari ns. yllätystä, jotka olen itse lähettänyt viimeisen noin kuukauden aikana.

Otters and a seal

These cuties arrived yesterday. The map of Spain caused me wanderlust...

Nämä ihanuudet saapuivat eilen. Espanjan-kartta aiheutti wanderlust-oireita...

Love love multiple cards

Even though cards like this tend to be more or less stereotypical, I still find these intriguing. Besides, this particular one made me long for some good paella and calamares.

Vaikka tämäntyyppiset kortit tuppaavatkin antamaan kohteestaan melko stereotyyppisen kuvan, pidän näitä silti erittäin kiehtovina. Tämä nimenomainen kortti sai minut lisäksi haaveilemaan annoksesta hyvää paellaa ja calamares-lautasellisesta.

Coffee for 2017

A couple of lovely cards to start 2017...

We finally got snow on the New Year's Eve, and since the days haven't felt as depressing as they tended; I've already noticed this has had an effect on my mood. Looking forward to the spring already, though!

Pari hienoa korttia näin uuden vuoden alkuun...

Lunta saatiin sitten lopultakin, ja olen jo ehtinyt huomata sen vaikuttaneen positiivisesti omaan mielialaani. Päivät eivät ole tuntuneet yhtä masentavilta kuin mitä ehkä aikaisemmin. Kevättä kohti siis!

Updating the Gotochi collection

I made another successful swap with Janice from Hong Kong - especially these food Gotochis make me drool... 

Tein jälleen kerran loistoswapin hongkongilaisen Janicen kanssa - varsinkin nämä ruoka-Gotochit saavat minut kuolaamaan...

Mail from a new country: Pakistan

Yay, a new capital to my collection! Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, was built in the 1960s and specifically for the purpose of becoming a capital city. It looks fascinating, judging by this photo. Pakistan seems to have some very cool stamps as well!

Juhuu, uusi pääkaupunki kokoelmaani! Pakistanin pääkaupunki Islamabad rakennettiin 1960-luvulla nimenomaan siksi, että siitä tulisi maan uusi pääkaupunki. Tämän kuvan perusteella Islamabad näyttää todella kiehtovalta. Pakistanilaiset postimerkit ovat upeita nekin!
