Quick arrival, the Artist in Seine sent an amazingly large card, No. 1-2-3-4!

La Poste and HELLenic Post may have seen the markings for "Leap Year" 

as it was a very fast delivery!And all the wonderfully mellow-yellow postage

is postmarked with the special date, yay! 29-2-2016:

The flip side is FAB with all the old postage...what a collection:

...from the Babylon Restaurant, and with stamps from perhaps other "Leap Years"...like 2008?

...from the Greek Island of Skiathos :-)

'Tis true that the Clock Lovers group was doing special mail art for 29.Feb.2016, but also these ,

mailings will be posted at Postal History Boutique group, as Keith has a discussion there, too.

Lots of "postal history" here :

Thank you, InSeine, this is truly a special mail art sending.

Yes, I noticed the beauty of a "karate" stamp! The French postage stamps 

are so colorful and artistic.  But also all the one-cent "mellow-yellow" stamps

are fantastic with all the 29-2-2016 postmarks! Thanks a bunch, InSeine,

for the buncha stamps!

Happy it arrived.  Lots of things to look for.  I see you found the 07-07-08 and this pizza box just had to go.  And the bonus of an un-cancelled big stamp.

Thanks for the blog.
