A New Year of Mail

I like that this postcard, among some important events we can look forward to this year, lists "Happy Mail"!

It experienced a small mail adventure. It was sent by Heleen (the Netherlands) well in advance, with my address clearly written on the white envelope and more postage than necessary.

But the postal machines got confused with this reverse, so they postmarked the non-stamps and delivered it... to the sender! Heleen sent it back it in a larger envelope. 

Best Wishes to Everyone

Happy New Year!

Peace on Earth

Happy New Year

Bonne Année

This is a special card. The illustration was made by Michel Trani for a stamp design contest, held in 1998, with the occasion of the "Year of the Postman". Inside, there is a little book with a lot of designs.

Sent by Phillip (the USA), Catherine (France), Sandrine (France), Fabienne (France) and Paul (Australia).
