See it on a Postcard. Sunday Stamps II - 34. Designed by Sami Saramäki to celebrate 'changes in everyday life', this particular set shows culinary culture. And how eating habits have changed over the years to include fast foods (pizza) and imported foods (olives) to ethnic foods (sushi) along with the staples of potatoes, breads and fish and shrimp. This is part of a series of stamps begun in 2013 for Finland's 100th anniversary of independence in 2017. For food and drink. This set of stamps is brilliant.

See it on a Postcard. Sunday Stamps II - 33. This baby echidna stamp was issued in 2013 as part of Australia Post's Bush Babies II series and looks completely adorable in this illustration by Elise Martinson (who also illustrated the first Bush Babies series in 2011). The other stamps in the series show a kookaburra, possum, platypus and wombat (none of which I have). Below is the complete bush babies from Australia Post. For animals in the wild. Australian animals belong to my all-time-favourite animals!
