Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park

The first class non-value indicator stamp is sold as 10-stamp sticker sheets with information in Finnish, Swedish, Northern Sámi and Braille.

Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, situated in Finland’s Western Lapland, is the most popular among Finland’s National Parks with over 300,000 visitors per year.

The stamp was the second most popular in the voting for the most beautiful stamp in 2009.

Bottle post

This is an advertisement for bottle post that can be sent via Finnish post. That's so cool, I wish I could get a message in a bottle!

Here's also the stamp:

Magical World of Trolls

The sender wrote that those trolls were popular in Finland thirty years ago. I think they came to Russia in the 90s, at least they were really popular that time. My sisters and I had a lot of these trolls, clothed ones with yellow hair and naked and hollow (with mints inside) with pink, lime green and baby blue hair. Sadly, the sender wrote that she didn't have any trolls when they were popular in Finland, and you have no idea how sorry I feel for her!

And another yummy stamp from Finland:

The sender said that this uni has the most beautiful campus area, situated just by the sea.
