At the top right is a set of six second class stamps featuring comic characters Maisa and Kaarina to commemorate 100 years of the National Council of Women of Finland. They come with a number of speech bubbles to customise the stamps, similar to the fantastic vegetable stamps that were released around this time last year.
Below is another set of six second class stamps showcasing Finnish government buildings spanning 200 years. The booklet contains information and a basic plan of each building.
At the bottom right is a set of five second class stamps commemorating the 100th anniversary of designer Kaj Franck's birth. The sheet displays illustrations of many of Franck's designs with various sized stamps framing certain elements.
On the left are two new flower sets. The upper stamps are first class, completely circular, and feature red and yellow dahlia flowers. The lower stamps are second class with a single design of yellow and white tulips to celebrate Easter.
I really like this new selection of stamps, especially the government buildings and Kaj Franck sets. They also came out with perfect timing; Nordia 2011 (Nordic Stamp Exhibition) opened today at the Jyväskylä Paviljonki. In addition to this fair, the Paviljonki is also hosting a book, wine, leisure and wellbeing, and garden and balcony fair. One ticket covers all of these fairs which are open this weekend. I am hoping to visit tomorrow.
