A Post Card from Canada

A Post Card from Canada arrived this week as part of the Post Card Exchange on StampBoards.

The concept of the Post Card Exchange is the same as that of the Cover Exchange.

The image on the post card is from the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and as the message reads it certainly is very colorful !

The stamp is the recent Year of the Snake stamp paying the correct rate for a Post Card from Canada to Australia.

Thanks goes to my Post Card Exchange partner for the month.

Year of the Snake (Annee Du Serpent)

Year of the Snake (Annee Du Serpent) - I received this in the mail this week from a Canadian member of StampBoards.

Lovely strip of five stamps celebrating the Year of the Snake, tied to the cover with a very decorative postmark from Winona, Ontario "Home of the Peach Festival".

Canadian Covers

Just to prove that I don't only admire or collect Australian Stamps, here are a few Canadian covers that I have received via the Monthly Cover Exchange on StampBoards -

First up is a cover with the recent Canadian Christmas gingerbread Mini-Sheet.

Second a cover with stamps the celebrate 250 years of; The Black Watch, Royal Regiment & Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.

The third cover utilises stamps featuring Tommy Douglas and commemorate the birth of medicare - Universal Healthcare.

All three covers are postmarked 12 December 2012.

Many thanks to my December Cover Exchange Partner for this lovely trio!
