Hello Postcrossers! Finally it's friday! Hope you all have a nice weekend!  I end the week with 4 more cards, two received yesterday and a couple more today. Here they go!

Yesterday's first one came from Russia. It was a great surprise because i had favourited it time ago in Postcrossing postcard gallery. Train stamps postcard, that came with two unique stamps. Thank you very much Kate!

Second one yesterday came from Nederland. It's a cool Sphynx breed cat, i'm so used to cats with hair that this one seems so odd! Sphynx cats seem to have no hair, but they have it, only it's very thin and short. Their appearance comes from a genetic mutation that happened in Canada in the sixties. Thank you very much John!

The first one from today it's an official card from Canada, my first one from the country! It's also one that i had favourited in my postcard gallery, beautiful landscape from canadian BANFF National Park situated in Rocky Mountains. It came with a cute polar bear stamp! Thank you very much Olena!

And last card has been a huge surprise. It came from Pamplona (Spain) from the first Pamplona - Madrid postcrossers meeting. In it you can see a monument symbol of Navarese freedom built in 1903. The statues in the middle represent work, peace, justice, autonomy and history. And the top statue is in memory of Navarra as historic kingdom of Spain. Thank you very much Soniasadin, Eriso and Victor!

My very little stamp collection

When i was a child i started collecting stamps, but as many things you do as a child i dropped it after some time. I need to rescue this old collection from my parent's house. Month and half ago, when i decided to start with Postcrossing i thought I could begin again, it's never late!

In this 45 days in PC i've collected this spanish stamps:

This ones are about civic values: protect people with handicaps, reminder to put on the safety belt, keep respect in internet and not to forget to keep the city clean when you walk your dog.

The first one below is about promoting new types of energy, the second one to promote equal opportunities between men and women at work. 

Four butterflies: Charaxes jasius, Melanargia ines, Papilio machaon and   Argynnis adippe.  

The following one is about biodiversity and oceanography, honoring International biodiversity year in 2010.

Next four are spanish modernism ceramics from Manises (Valencia)

Four important men, Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos (Writer, jurist and politician), Rafael Azcona (Scriptwriter), Luis Rosales (Poet, essayist and member of the Real Spanish Academy) and Mario Vargas LLosa (Peruvian writer, Nobel prize in literature, 2010) 

Last ones, the first from World Youth Day celebrated last august, and a postbox from Postal Union of Americas, Spain and Portugal.

I'll keep showing you my stamp collection as it grows!
