Look - another one!

Surprise! Yesterday I rushed into the local post office with my late Christmas mail and was friendly greeted by my favourite post man - he had digged out some new "treasures" for me, among them another embroidered stamp!

No, I'm not aiming to present new stamps every week - but I was so surprised I had to show you!

(For those who haven't read the earlier postings, I just want to point out that this is an officially valid, "ready-to-use" Austrian stamp, but machine embroidered and thus made out of fabric!)

A textile stamp!

Today I went to the local post office in order to buy some stamps - I always buy the special ones as they are not more expensive than their actual value but so much more beautiful - and this time I found many exciting ones:

a 3D-lenticular-technique stamp, one with concrete sand from a WWII-tower, another with small glittering rhinestones on it, yet another one with real Swarowski stones - and finally a machine embroidered textile stamp! Fully official and ment to post with your letters or parcels!

I've never seen anything like it before and was absolutely surprised and pleased!
