Last week I received a stamp catalogue I had ordered from Canada before christmas (yes, the delivery took 50 days as it was mailed by surface to cut costs). Anyway, everything seems to have gone pretty smooth until the parcel landed on Finnish postage system.
Moving on back to North America. Chris from Canada sent me a cover witch had a 2009 Christmas souvenir sheet special cover inside.
And to finalize this months incoming mail showcase, here are two recent covers from Canada. The first one had a christmas greeting from Tristan with 2009 Canadian international christmas stamp on top of cover. Unfortunately all the cancels were put on the back of envelope… This is also a good time to remind everyone to post their christmas greetings in time. It’s only one month till christmas eve.
I hate to say this, but it seems I have another sequel to “I hate when postal service ruins a philatelic item”[part 1, part 2] saga. This time Tristan from Canada sent me a cover with corgeous International Year of Astronomy miniature sheet on top – and quess what Canada Post did?
I haven’t showed my incoming mail for a while besides some random items. Rest of this week I’ll be sharing these fabulous (mainly 2009) postage stamps with you.
This could very well be a sequal to “I hate when postal service ruins a beautiful item” post I made week ago. Sadly most of the items on this nice cover have escaped the postmark.
