Christmas Card



I used old postage stamps and new Christmas rubber stamps for this envelope.

  1. I love seeing older postage on correspondence. I've learned that some countries don't allow this. Do you get your vintage from a dealer?

  2. Our currency was earlier Finnish Mark, but we changed to Euro for some years ago. Mark value postages can now be used in post deliveries to the end of 2011. I also love old postages, and have now tried to get them to be able to use them during these two years. I have bought them from a dealer, and because they actually are for collectors, they of course cost a bit more than their value in post delivery is, but I try to find those which are not too expensive to be used like this. :)

  3. Very interesting! I buy lots of vintage postage but pay face value, though we haven't had a currency change. If we ever did, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get such a great deal on vintage postage.

    I can't believe I missed your request for my address a few weeks ago! I don't mind publishing my mailing address because it is a post office box. In fact, I mean to create a little box on my blog with my mailing address, and keep forgetting :-)
