Native American cultures believe that the cactus represents warmth, protection, and motherly love. Because cacti plants can survive in harsh conditions, they've become a symbol of unconditional, maternal love. So if someone gives this plant to you, it means that - They love you and care about you. They think you’re strong. They’ve seen everything that you’ve gone through and they think that you’re a tough, strong survivor. Someone who can bounce back from the toughest of times. They want to protect you. In Feng Shui, if you put succulent on your terrace or windowsill, it is believed that it will protect you from negative energy and misfortune. They may be attracted to you. In Japan, receiving a flowering cactus from someone is actually a sign that they’re attracted to you!

I know it's not a suggestion about the stamps, but it would be awesome if you could buy stickers to decorate the letter and make it more original and cuter. For example, instead of buying the stamp sets, you could buy a stamp with one or more stickers with the same theme. You could put them around without covering the letters and resize them according to your preferences.

I’d love to suggest a stamp featuring fireflies, tiny beacons of light that dance in the darkness. This stamp could beautifully blend the gentle glow of fireflies with a starry night sky, symbolizing "hope", wonder, and quiet resilience. Fireflies are nature’s lanterns, often seen in warm summer nights, reminding us that even the smallest light can shine through the dark. This stamp would capture the feeling of stillness and beauty that comes when you're surrounded by both the natural glow of fireflies and the vastness of the cosmos. It could be a symbol of long-distance connection, hope through the darkness, and dreams carried across time zones — everything that Slowly stands for.

Salve Maria, folks! I hope you all are doing well! I'm going to write It in english for those who don't understand my mother tongue - portuguese! I'm going to write the best I can to those who are willing to read It as I think my english isn't good enough in my point of view and I suggest in other words to read the Portuguese version translating It. Subtitles: (Anything between parenthesis by the ending of a paragraph is an information resource) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH VERSION Jorge Mario Bergoglio born 17, December of 1936 in Buenos Aires (BA), Argentina. Son of Italian Immigrants, he chose the path of priesthood entering the Diocesan Seminar Villa Devoto and the Novitiate of Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on 11 March 1958, being ordained a priest On 13, December 1969. On 27, May 1992 received the episcopal ordination as Bishop of Auca and Auxiliary of Buenos Aires and was raised to the dignity of Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires, succeeding Cardinal Quarracino as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Three years later at the Consistory of 21 February 2001, John Paul II created him Cardinal, assigning him the title of San Roberto Bellarmino. He was elected Supreme Pontiff on 13, March 2013 after Pope Benedict XVI resignation on the same year. (VA, Biography of Holy Father Francis) His Pontificate was marked by his humble approach to those marginalized and for the world as well as reforming the Holy Roman Apostolic Catholic Church such as: I. Convertion and Ecclesiastical reform; II. Fraternity and social friendship; III. A common house; IV. Synodal Church V. ASIF (Vatican News) And last during these years, Pope Francis was not just a mere public figure, but a huge and important one, a friend of those who are marginalized and pushing these reforms was crucial to that, in short, Pope Francis was known to be the Pope of Mercy and the very first latin american to be in his position! Helping millions and spreading the gospel respectfully to all around the globe, playing a huge role in our history as a Holy Church and World. After his Pontificate of 12 years, he passed away on 21, April, 2025, a day after his last Easter Sunday blessing (Ubi et Orbi) and buried in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in 26, April 2025. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUGGESTIONS Stamp suggestion: I believe that making a portrait of the Holy Father/Pope Francis next to his coat of arms can be a simple and wonderful tribute. I also suggest that although I classified it as from Vatican City or Argentina, I believe that this seal can be made available to the entire world at no cost, exalting the charity and humility that the Holy Father/Pope would love and do. And if it is to be catalogued, let it be classified as from Vatican City even though he was from Argentina, symbolizing its servitude towards our Holy Catholic Church and the Holy See - With all due respect to anyone who is Argentine and reading It. Looking forward for support on this stamp, d'Ouest Pauliste, João Bitencourt

Every year, on June 10th, the whole world comes together to celebrate World Modernism Day. This date gives us the opportunity to appreciate the beauty and innovation that this artistic movement brought with it. Modernism was an artistic and cultural movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emerged as a response to industrialism, seeking to revitalize art, architecture, design, and literature with a focus on originality and experimentation. From the organic and flowing forms of Art Nouveau to the bold geometry and clean lines of Art Deco, modernism encompasses a wide range of styles and artistic expressions. Victor Horta was a Belgian architect and one of the founders of the Art Nouveau movement. His Hôtel Tassel project in Brussels is considered the first Art Nouveau house and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Belgium has just received a batch of local stamps, there is not a single Art Nouveau building in it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hôtel_Tassel

one last stamp before saying goodbye for good

Seeing how the stamp achievements category have been a bit neglected, I came up with a cool idea to help boost it. I reckon it would be a great idea to have a stamp that can only be achieved when you exchange a certain amount of letters with a pen pal. For this idea, I prepared a mock-up and as you can see, I named it "Slowsties" which originates from Besties* + Slowly = Slowsties. The stamp is to be unlocked after exchanging 50 letters. As I said, it can be changed to any amount the dev team see fit and "Slowsties" can be changed (although I think it's a brilliant name but I'm biased for sure). And of course the design could be improved, too. Thank you for reading. I hope you like my idea. *Besties = a person's best friend.

Stamps with 'hello' in various languages. Eg: привет , 你好 , ഹലോ .
