Collage with a squirrel

My Postal Love collection got another beautiful piece, aside from books & key postcard.
This time is a squirrel who overlap a musical Grand Staff and a vintage-style written address. In the right corner there is a Austro-Hungarian 5 Heller stamp (1904-1905) with Emperor Franz Joseph. On top, the "postcard" term is written in some European languages such German, French, Italian, Hungarian, Russian/Serbian, Polish etc.
The publisher offers other similar postcards with animals such as a bird, three foxes, a reindeer, a dragon, a rabbit or a cat. The idea and design are simply brilliant.
The 0.29 € stamp shows a stylized bells form 2005 December/Christmas collection.
The 0.39 € stamps were made for marking a special event: the Dutch Royal Wedding of Willem-Alexander and Máxima on 02.02.2002.

Thank You, Rietha !

key and old books

There are a few online postcard-based stores that offers nice products. But if you're not living in the same country, the shipping fees are a killer for a few cards, even if they have big discounts. One of those shops is Postal Love, run from Wroclaw by Ewa Słocińska, a young designer passionate about postcards. 

Today one of their cards arrived in my mailbox, traveling from... Canada, in a RR exchange. I always liked books, especially old ones. And I still got this "virus" inside me. But not only visual sight is a pleasure, but also the lecture itself. As somebody pointed out: "A book makes you smarter only if you read it".

The stamps are also great.

The first (P) features a b&w photo of Canadian pop and country singer K.D. Lang, issued in July 2014 as part of the Canadian Country Artists series. (To be honest, firstly, I thought it's a male).

The 1.20$ stamp bear an 1895 William Notman photography of Indian chief Sitting Bull and the bison hunter Buffalo Bill in Montreal. Postage is part in 2014 second set of Canadian photography stamp series.

The 1cent stamp shows a Lady Bug (Hippodamia convergens), as a part of insect serie issued in 2007.

The 22 cents stamp shows a Monarch Butterfly (Danaus Plexippus), issued in 2014.

Thank You, Christine !
