A fab painted envelope

Another wonderful envelope arrived from Fafa, this one is hand painted. It gained an extra postmark (in purple, I think). An interesting addition.

And really fascinating stamp of Sophie Calle - a living artist and writer. I love the perspective chosen. 



Thanks for such a nice sending and all the great contents.

    1. I only noticed the kingfisher after I scanned the envelope. Both great stamps - I was a bit surprised to see a living person on a stamp.
