Not Rudolph





I hadn't realised that the post office in Finland issues postcards of their stamps, rather like the UK PHQ cards.  If it's something regular, I feel a new collecting theme coming on.

Of course, given the lack of a red nose, it can't be Rudolph.  I think it may be Dasher during a quiet moment.

I do have a number of other Christmas stamps, of course:

Also from Finland


And from Poland:
And Russia:






This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

  1. The Polish stamps are beautiful. I suspect Finland do PHQs (I remember browsing their shop some years ago and squeaking with pleasure). I know for certain the Aland Islands do PHQ and they produce nice maxi cards too.
    Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

  3. Merry Christmas, Sheila. Finland keep surprising me with their stamps - but then the ones I have are very mundane in comparison with Christmas stamps.

  4. Very nice collection of Christmas stamps Shiela. I have that reindeer stamp from Finland too and I'm happy that I know now to call it Dasher and not Rudolph...kinda slow thinking on my part! Haha!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  7. I can see your temptation to start a new collection within a collection of those lovely Finnish stamps, Sheila! They are really lovely! Merry Christmas.
