Postcard-script!

I received two other interestingly-stamped postcards recently, but didn’t include them in yesterday’s post since they weren’t from Postcrossing.

The first was this:

Adam sent me this recently and as you can see it’s got all five of the recent Australian disaster relief stamps on it. And what stamps they are! Australia rarely issues shaped stamps and as best I know these are the only ever Australia-shaped ones. Here’s detail of the best one (and yes I agree with Adam):

Happily the card arrived intact and the stamps are in near perfect condition 🙂

The other card I recently received was from Korea and featured these beautiful lunar new year stamps:

Look how cute they are! Both of them feature dazzling foil effects and they sparkle in the light! I was impressed by both the Australian and American year of the rat stamps but these Korean ones top both! Thanks to Jessica and her dad for sending me these!

Incidentally South Korea prints a lot of very pretty stamps and I always hope to get a card from there via Postcrossing but so far I haven’t been lucky enough. Maybe I’ll need to visit one day and send myself some…
