Silver Jewelry from Åland: first mail in over a month

A pair of 2024 booklet stamps from Åland featuring silver jewelry art. The stamps make use of silver foil to give the text a nice shimmer.

Other than ad mail, this is the first letter to be found in my mailbox since the postal strike ended on December 17th. It would have been nice to open my mailbox on that date and find a month's worth of covers waiting for me. But that wasn't the case. It's going to take a while for Canada Post to get through their backlog. Probably a very long while. 

The strike was ended by government intervention, after they determined the two side were too far apart in their negotiations. But it's only temporary. Unionized Canada Post employees are allowed to strike again in May when their temporary work agreement ends.
