THIS WEEK’S ENVELOPE

is the sweetest thing. A FDC or first day cover (envelope) coming of course from Daniël’s collection, from Nijntje, also known as Miffy. Nijntje comes from Konijntje (= bunny) and it is a very famous character from children’s illustrator Dick Bruna, from the Netherlands. In fact, Nijntje is so loved in the Netherlands it has become some kind of mascot for the country. Let’s all hope one day the Olympics take place in the Netherlands and Nijntje is used as the official mascot. It’ll be my happiest time! I love him! :)

One day I wanna have that whole sheet of stamps. 

Twice :D <3
