Just like having a snowflake on your card:-) Finland is so imaginative with their stamps. We have just had our first sprinkle of snow on the top of the mountains here in the north of England.

I've never seen this stamp before either, surprisingly.

If you want to read about why snowflakes are (mostly) all different, try this. :) It all seems to boil down to maths. :(

@Viridian, this is the only one I have despite the numerous postcards I received from Finland!

@Bob: It makes me want to see snow more than ever now! Lol.

@Postcardy: Yes, indeed, and fascinating, too. Who knows what kind of stamps the Finnish PO will come up with next.

@Ana: Amiga, we may not have snow but we're currently having a lovely, cool weather sans the rain. It's a cool, clear, and crisp at 24C and we're loving it!

I love this Finnish stamp! The first time i got it I was actually examining it to see if it is really transparent :)

I also wonder about the snowflakes and if there are no two alike...such thoughts give me a shiver :)

have a lovely week ahead amiga....if you can't have snow, then at least i hope you have some good weather :)

An interesting idea for a stamp.

Hi VioletSky.
What I do is look up the country's postal service online site {most countries have their online sites and are surprisingly updated) and locate the stamps/philately section. Some have really substantial info, others not much. Hope it helps you :)

Good on you for your researching! I am still figuring out how to find out any information on the stamps. This stamp would look particularly nice on some coloured Christmas card envelopes.
