Greetings from the Princess' cruise to Sweden.
Thanks for your part in this amazing adventure.
This postcard was sent to me by my cruise buddies from our 'Princess Cruise'. We all wore tiaras and carried scepters. It was a short cruise from Finland to Sweden, but we sure did have fun!!

Posti ran a campaign in fall 2016 to collect photos of faces from the public for a special stamp publication to mark Finland's centenary of independence. The thousands of photos come together like a mosaic to form different stamps, which are positioned on the sheet in the form of the map of Finland. Each stamp and booklet will be unique.
"These stamps are worth a close look, as receivers and senders might spot their own face or the faces of acquaintances on them," says Tommi Kantola, Design Manager at Posti.
