Mail Art Egg

Mail Art Egg was organised first time in 2012 with the aim of changing the original paradigm of egg by creating postal letters considering egg as a shape. There were 164 letters received from almost all parts of the world, created by kids to grown-ups from Brazil to England, including Hungary as well. All of these masterpieces were exhibited at different places in Hungary at Easter-time followed by an official handover-ceremony to the Postal Museum in Budapest, Hungary. This museum owns the biggest collection of stamps in the world – which is now complemented by these Mail Egg masterpieces as well. This is the 15th year that Mail-Art Egg Project is being announced!

Thursday Postcard Hunt | (Easter) Bunny

Artist: Shupachet Bhumakan

A postcard sent by Bree during a short trip to Thailand last December. It took 20 days to reach me and, as you can imagine, it was not intended for Easter. But... it has a bunny!

Bree went to the post office, paid for the postage and the mail clerk chose and stuck them on himself. He had few room left, so he stuck one stamp on top of the other.

Peace Is the Highest Value of Humanity

I have published several posts about the Peace Stamp Project. I have got a bunch of wonderful envelopes from different countries. And I still hope to get some more.

But no doubt that the most meaningful is this one, received from Ukraine.

Alphabet 2023 | P Is for Punxsutawney

Another postcard from Bryon's project! Actually, two, because P and Q arrived together. As the sender wrote, P is full of possibilities.

How many P flowers have their own stamp? At least: Passionflower, Plains Prickly Pear, Pasqueflower and California Poppy.

An interesting stamp featuring Georgios Papanikolaou, inventor of the Pap test:

The postcard was sent from the state of Pennsylvania.

Maybe you cannot appreciate it from the picture, but it was posted in Punxutawney... A place that I really wanted to get mail from!

«Il n'y avait pour moi qu'une bonne heure dans toutes ces heures, c'était cette où j'entendais de ma chambre les pas, la crécelle et la voix du facteur qui distribuait les lettres aux portes du quartier. Dès que je l'entendais, j'ouvrais ma fenêtre.»

Alphonse de Lamartine, Raphaël (1849)

Sunday Stamps | Easter

Today's Sunday Stamps is dedicated to Easter. My country does not issue Easter stamps, I found a couple in my collection, more than forty years old, and a recent one from the USA not exactly intended for Easter.
