From Katerina Nikoltsou, Greece

A cheery new year's greeting in a paint-and-collage card. 

Thank you, Katerina, and how much is that doggy in the window?

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

meow....of course there is a Greek cat in the "window ":-)

Yes, Sabrina, not very Victorian, thank goodness ;)

And there is a Robin! Still alive!

1 Euro to post to Britain! And Royal Mail claims our postage is cheap!? £1.70 is the cheapest for me to send to Europe now that we are not allowed to be neighbourly. I am very delighted with the doggie in the window, so thank you, and coming in the New Year is nice. I like your window framing too. Cats? Well...... ;)

from "HELLAS" = Greece :-)

Yay! Sent out on Dec.15...arrived in the UK for the New Year. So glad to see that even with our strict lockdowns the mail is getting to your island, Mel Anie :-) Thanks for the blog xxx

The doggie is the HELLenic Post's 1Euro international postage stamp for Christmas, that finally was available by mid-December, so of course too late for the cards I sent out by November 30, sigh. But for the New Year there will be some doggie stamps on my mail art and also there is a cat-in-the-window, but it is 90 cents for domestic mail (though i can put two on for heavier mail abroad?)

They are rare "self-stick" Greek postage, so having fun now with the sticky selvages..."windows"
