If I am not wrong, today starts the New Year in a lot of countries. So for those who celebrate this festival: Happy New Year and 招財進寶!
It will be the Year of the Horse. But I want to show some New Year postcards/stamps I have received in the previous years (I hope there isn't a lot of mistakes in dates; I took the information from the Wikipedia). I love the Taiwanese series, do you?
26 January 2009 – 13 February 2010: Year of the Ox

I am not sure if the last one is a New Year stamp or just a tiger...

That's a wonderful collection, thank you for sharing, Hawwa!
ReplyDeleteAlso from me, to everyone who celebrates, best wishes for a wonderful, healthy, beautiful Happy New Year!
I'm sure I've received even more that I'm not able to find now! Most countries issue beautiful stamps for the New Chinese Year (neither Spain nor Morocco, I'm afraid).
