New Aruban Fauna stamp issue


The Postal Service of Aruba has issued a new set of stamps in its 'Fauna' series. The stamps feature goats, one of the oldest domesticated species.
Farmers began keeping goats primarily for their milk and meat, but also for their dung, which was used as fuel, and their bones, hair, and sinew that were used for clothing, building, and tools. Historically, goat hide has been used to make water and wine bottles for traveling and for transporting wine to market. It has also been used to produce parchment.
Life expectancy for goats is between 15 and 18 years. A rare instance of a goat reaching the age of 24 has been reported.

Stamps celebrate Jersey airport anniversary


Six stamps, a Miniature Sheet plus a fascinating Prestige Booklet were issued on 10 March 2012 to mark the 75th anniversary of Jersey Airport. All the stamps by Jersey Post feature aircraft that have landed at Jersey during different decades in the airport's history.
The Prestige Booklet is filled with images and information about the airport, plus more aircraft that have landed since it opened and is a 'must have' for aviation enthusiasts. It also contains three sets of stamps and a Miniature Sheet.
Group Chief Executive Officer for Ports of Jersey, Doug Bannister, says: "We are delighted that Jersey Post has chosen to celebrate Jersey Airport's 75th anniversary with this commemorative stamp collection. The airport has played a significant role in everyday island life for the past 75 years and the information booklet and accompanying stamps are a wonderful reflection of this."

Children's Books - new stamps by Israel Post



This series is made up of eight classic Israeli children's books. They have become a common cultural denominator for two and even three generations of Israelis, from the first book in the series, "Come to Me, Nice Butterfly", which was published in 1945 through "Itamar Walks on Walls", which came out in 1986.
All of these books are geared toward toddlers who cannot yet read. As parents and grandparents read them to today's toddlers, they may reminisce about their own childhoods, enjoying the same stories they did when they themselves were children. All of these books have most definitely withstood the test of time.
