Even more birds... Singapore!

Hello!

Yesterday a reader of my blog mildsevenqing (where are you from? what do you collect?) left a comment on my previous post about birds, with a link to the Singapore Post Office Website.

I've followed the link... and it lead me to a definitive issue from 2007! And what an issue!!!


Thank you for showing me these stamps and for having the pleasure to show it to all the readers of my blog!!!

Cuban Birds!


Birds... Birds... And more Birds...


I'm a member of some stamp groups and forums... and the other day I was surfing one and I saw an amazing scan that the author of the post allowed me to show to you all:


It is a set of stamps and a s/s issued in 2001 by the Cuban Post to celebrate the 2001 Word Stamp Exhibit in Hong Kong!

What do you think of this set? Very bright colours and vivid images... 5 stars! I really liked this issued and wanted to share it with you.

Do you collect bird stamps? If so, what attracts you in them?

See you soon...

Japan...

Hello!

How are you today?


This FDC was sent to me from Japan... I have no information about this issue! Is it Hello Kitty? I think so, but I'm not sure!!!

Have any idea?

You can see the complete set bellow (sorry for the poor quality of the image but my scanner went berserk!):


For me it's always a reason to celebrate when I receive a FDC from Japan since it seems to be so rare and difficult to get one.

Do you receive many Japanese FDCs?

I wonder if there are any Japanese collectors reading my blog?

Cloudscapes

Cloudscapes:
Netherland Antilles vs. USA

A fellow collector from the Netherland Antilles sent me some great pictures of cloudscapes.



The above images reminded me of a set of stamps from USA. (If any of you fellow collectors want to trade the sheet please let me know since I still don't have it on my collection!)


So which ones are most beautiful?

The pictures from the Netherland Antilles or the stamps from the US?

From INDIA



Hello Fellow Collectors!

Today I've received a letter from India (above) with some local stationery!


Do you think that this is a good way to reach the masses for heath promoting campaigns?

Should work or leisure be the theme for stamps?

Will wait for your opinions!

See you soon!
