0883 FINLAND - A lake at dawn


I received this postcard thanks to a swap within a group of friends on the topic "yellow". Couldn't be a more appropriate image, with intense colors, hot, reminiscent of summer, for this gloomy winter day that I look out the window.

About the stamps
The first stamp, the cross-shaped self-adhesives one, is part of a series depicting the Finnish Archipelago, about which I wrote here.

The second postcard is a part of the Christmas series issued on November 4, 2013, and inspired by the nostalgic world of scrapbook pictures. The motifs for the stamps, designed by Susanna Rumpu and Ari Lakaniemi, are old drawings used on post cards or scrapbook pictures.
• Christmas Hug (0.65 EUR) - it's on this postcard
• Christmas Tree Boy (first-class stamp)
• Angel (second-class stamp)

  1. "La Multi Ani!", Danut, cu ocazia Zilei Nationale a Romaniei si implinirii a 95 de ani de la Marea Unire de la Alba-Iulia!

    Oricat de gloomy winter day ar fi afara, important este ce ai in suflet! ;)
    Iar eu astazi...vibrez precum in vederea ta! Asa ca..."La Multi Ani!" once again! :-)

  2. Cu drag, Danut! Cu mult drag!

    Sper ca pe parcursul acestei luni, decembrie, sa primesti si "acea" surpriza prin acel prieten comun!

    Nu de alta dar...in curand trece anul. Sa stii ca a depins numai de el (eu i-am inmanat "surpriza" inca din vara....). :-)

  3. Nu stiu dar...am auzit, am auzit eu ceva! ;)
    Sincer, sper ca luna aceasta sa ajunga la tine mica mea surpriza care asteapta inca din aprilie sa ajunga la destinatie.
    Uneori insa drumul pare a fi anevoios si sinuos iar din iulie...uite ca s-a facut decembrie.

    P.S. Curiozitatea e dubla, stiu: oare despre ce este vorba si...oare cine este acel prieten comun??
