New Stamps

The Post has released some new stamps and I bought theseones today:

Pictures are from Posti's website.

"The official stamp of the ice hockey world championship 2012 tournament to be organized in Helsinki will portray the widely noted mascot HockeyBird. The stamp is designed by Lead Artist Toni Kysenius of Rovio Entertainment, who has now fulfilled his long-time dream of designing a stamp.
"HockeyBird's job is to bring high-voltage bird energy to the great sporting event and to barge into anything and everything, so it is only natural that he will also take over the stamp," Toni Kysenius says.
Finland and Sweden share the hosting of the ice hockey world championship tournament in 2012 and 2013. Kysenius has taken note of this on his design."  (www.posti.fi)

This hockey-themed  birdstamp will be released at 21.3.2012

Owls

Today I got this postcard from Belarus. The animal is Aegolius funereus also known as Boreal Owl. In finnish name is helmipöllö. The other for the owl are Richardson's Owl, Funeral Owl, Sparrow Owl and Pearl Owl. Helmi means pearl and pöllö is owl. Boreal owl is the most common owl in Finland. It's quite small, only 20–30 centimetres.

Tänään tupsahti kortti Valko-Venäjältä. Kortissa komeilee kaikille tuttu helmipöllö. Myös muita nimiä löytyy, onhan se Suomen yleisin pöllökin. Melkoisen pieni otus on kyseessä, pituutta vain 20-30 cm.

What is this next owl? It doesn't really look like Bubo bubo aka The Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Or is it? I though that maybe it's young one...

Mikäs tämä pöllö on? Huuhkaja? Hmm..Kertokkee jos tietoa löytyy!

The card has sent from Lithuania. Here's the stamp:

Kortti oli Liettuasta. Alla postimerkki:

It's Galileo Galilei! :)

ADS!

I got this great ad-card from my own country, Finland. It's an ad for Coca-Cola, bottles are designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The sender says that she has bought the card from Denmark. Never been there, but maybe some day... really cool bottles though!

Tämän tyylikkään kortin sain Suomesta! Cokiksen mainos kyseessä, suunnitellut Karl Lagerfeld. Kortin lähettäjä kertoo kortin olevan peräisin Tanskanmaalta. Enpä ole koskaan Tanskassakaan käynyt, mutta ehkä joku päivä.. Hieno on kortti kuiteski!

This next postcard are from Germany and it has sent 26 Dec 2011. It's an ad for paint, I think? I put the text from the cover to the translate and it says: use the night... I like the colours and the idea of the card. 

Lisää tykkäämiä mainoskortteja :) Tämä on Saksasta, lähetetty joulukuun 26. 2011. Näyttää olevan maali-mainos. Ihanat on värit kortissa!

And here's the stamp:

Ja postimerkkejä:

I have said  this before, but really.. I do love the ads! When I'am old I can watch these kind of cards and remember the time of those. Hope you get my point :)

Have a great night people! And sent lots of postcards, especially ad-cards :D

Oon mainostanu tätä ennenki, mutta totta se on.. Mainoskortit on ihania! Vanhana voin sitten kiikkustuolissa ihastella mainoskortteja ja muistella menneitä aikoja. Hyvää yötä mussukat! Ja lähetelkää paljon kortteja, erityisesti mainoskortteja!
