Always a joy to see Phil in the mail!

And he sends the strangest of Holiday "animals"! a Llama?

and an octopus ...

and the envelope, was a recycled tissue box :-)

Love it all!

Ornament postage, too:

Thank you xxx

They came up with some great additional images to go alongside the stamps.

Self-sticks just about sold out  :-(

a few unicorns and llamas were left at the Greek post office...sigh.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Those two words are so close together - however I am happy to be exoteric :)

First time I see Greek postage without a  "value" in euro.

They are for 20gram weight (card/letter/mail art)

for esoteriko = "interior", in Greece (which, so far, is only 72 cents)

and exoteriko (the Llama) = mail sent abroad

( is 90 cents, but probably one day soon be a whole 1 euro)

So, actually, you are EXOteric! :-)

All four animals are fun - I'll be watching the mail. So weird to make only some stamps self adhesive. Here almost every stamp is made that way now. I spent ages trying to figure out the rate on these stamps - looks like 20g esoterikou. I like thinking that I live somewhere esoteric :)

Quite a few unicorns, sloths and llamas around on cards and all sorts of things for Christmas 2019 - maybe Christmas 2020 will be the year for flamingos as well :)

Aw, very nice minisheet, Philip, the central post office didn't have too many left, I managed to get 10 unicorns and 10 llamas...self-sticks. HELLas Post, ELTA, doesn't make too many self sticks and they are bought up quite fast, and in Athens mostly, sigh.

Watch the mail for a llama and unicorn coming your way soon :-)

I saw the flamingo on this minisheet:

I didn't see a Greek flamingo, but my local post office didn't have even the "self-sticks",

'Will go downtown to the central post, and see if i can get some "unicorns" :-)

...and it is a llama, with a sloth! ha!

Comment by FinnBadger on January 7, 2020 at 2:18pm

Haha, 10 days for mail to get from Greece to the world? I don't think so, ELTA.

I do think the stamps are great fun, and I went looking for the others in the set and I think they beat my octopus with a flamingo!
