Number 1 Recieved (FI-460034)

Wow, what are the chances. I spend yesterday getting all those posts ready to send out a new batch of cards...it's been months...and this is what I get in the mail today:

Okay, it was a little wet, but it's still neat. This is what they call a Moomin card. Apparently these little characters are quite popular in the Netherlands/Finland area of the world. Through postcrossing I have hear many things about these cards, but I never knew what they were. I guess they're kind of cute, what do you think?

The stamp has two people on it. I must assume that these two people are important as well as I know I have received this stamp before. Unfortunately I can't read their names. But if anyone knows who they are and would like to tell me more about them, I would listen!

I will continue to post the handwriting and, when you can't read the message easily, I will retype it below. This one had the post office's bar code across the bottom. I usually don't remove these, but it was blocking 25% of the message, so here you have the picture with that bar code on it (I'll retype the message below):
Hi there!
I hope you haven't received too many Moomin cards! I like this one: this is one of the original scetches of Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomins. After a couple of weeks we are celebrating "penkkarit" (literally "the pressings of the bench"). The school leavers wear costumes and celebrate their final day at the upper secondary school.

If you would like to know more, I looked up information about penkkarit. It actually sounds like fun! I would be interested to hear more about this if anyone has more information, let me know.

Oh, and here's more about Moomin.
