Lunar New Year Souvenir Sheets - Canada

Brenda VR of Canada has sent me a lovely cover with the Year of Dragon Souvenir sheet issued by Canada Post on 2012 and inside she has enclosed the Year of Rabbit Souvenir Sheet.

The dragon Souvenir sheet is embossed and has touches of Gold foil on head and scales. 

The year of Rabbit Souvenir sheet was issued in 2011, January.  The rabbits and the circle around them are embossed and it has a thin gold foil to make it look like a typical Chinese embroidery.

Thanks Brenda for the swap and helping me to enhance my "Unusual and Unique stamps" collection.

Silver Dart - Canada's first controlled powered flight

The First controlled powered flight in Canada took place on February 23,1909.
Graham Bell, the inventor of Telephones formed the Aerial Experiment Association including the below one.  The Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) named it as Silver Dart and John Alexander Douglas was the proud pilot of the aircraft.  To commemorate its centennial, Canada Post has issued a stamp of Silver Dart in February, 2009. The name of the flight has been printed with a metallic silver colour.

Thanks Brenda, Canada for using this stamp on the cover for our exchange. Nice addition to my Flights of Fancy theme.
