Edith found my profile accidentally and decided, as she wrote, "to send me nice stamp". But it looks like she deceived me, because I've got a looot of amazing stamps!)) Most of them are new by issue (mainly 2011) and absolutely unused. Kind people meet on my postcrossing way! Thank you Edith for this wealth! That essentially  broadened my German stamp collection.
