Pinterest / Help. From zazzle's email to me: "Pinterest is a virtual pinboard that lets people organize and share images from the web. A pinboard is a set of images that relate to a certain topic.

You can pin an unlimited number of images to each board and can also create many boards for different product types, occasions, or themes such as "funny t-shirts", "cute invitations", "Halloween", or "wedding". The easiest way to create pins is to add the "Pin It" button to your Bookmarks Bar, which will allow you to grab any images from the web and "pin" them instantly to your boards. If you have a website or blog, you can add a "Pin it" button to your website product pages or posts on your blog allowing customers and readers to also pin your products onto Pinterest."

Probably this will never happen again: an unknown, generous postal associate gifted me a philatelic souvenir!!! A USPS postcard from 1990: "Splash into an ocean of fun: collect stamps. October is National Stamp Collecting Month." Well, to me it's year-round...:)"

This is the face of the large postcard, and the stamps are not the real stamps - just their images.

This is the back of the postcard, with the cool pictorial postmark from 1990, and all 4 stamps from the Marine Mammmals series of 1990.
The fact that I received this item 2 years ago, in my return envelope from the Monterey, California 93940 Post Office, where I have sent my items to get their 2009 pictorial postmark for the Kelp Forest stamps, tells me that it was not a mistake from a postal associate. The 1990 postmark was not available in 2009, so the inclusion of this very nice philatelic souvenir in my envelope has to be an intentional gift.
Thank you very much, anonymous postal worker! :)

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
