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.

GroBbeeren and Großbeeren Tower for International Postcard Week

International Postcard Week
October 7-13, 2018

Hello, and greetings from Germany.  My name is Anke and I live in a village called GroBbeeren.

I discovered International Postcard Week through a member of Postcrossing.

On the front you can see an aerial view of my home.  I took the photo from the tower you can see in the upper right corner.  It's a monument for the defeat of the Frenchman in 1813, where Napoleon was prevented to conquer Berlin.
Every year in August we have a festival where this feat is celebrated.
Bye, Anke

Dear Brenda

It was such a pleasure to meet you in Tampere, Finland last week!  You mentioned enjoying 'weird postcards' so here's a quirky one for you.  They managed to cram everything about our region in a singe card via photoshop: the fish next to the flowers next to the beach and the sunflowers.  There are a few more things they should have added (figs, almonds, golf...)  maybe I'll find a more comprehensive card!

Hugs,

Ana

Young Ivorian woman

At first I thought she was pouring flour or something, however it is all over the ground and I see a chicken in the background.  So I'm guessing she is feeding the chickens.  However, this is just a guess. 

This postcard was postmarked in 1984 from The Ivory Coast in Africa.
