| 2013: Winter |
These are the first stamps she had ever designed (at the time aged 73) and she explained her choices of subjects - the Christmas rose was inspired by Selma Lagerlof's short story Legend of the Christmas Rose and when thinking about her childhood skating came to mind. The robin is a reminder to us all not to forget the birds in winter.

Winter is a good time to retreat indoors on dull days and play with stamps. Here is a Stamp Day cancel of 1979 using the previous year's Europa theme which featured the 17th Century Jens Bang House in Alborg and the plan and front elevation of Frederiksborg Castle in Copenhagen

The first day cover is quite stunning. The tree silhouettes are also beautifully done. Happy new year!
Those Christmas stamps are really beautiful, perfectly done.
Gorgeous stamps, especially the first ones you listed.
The Frolich stamps are so lovely. We don't see robins in winter, so i'm always happy to your European ones in snow. And I'm an eternal of Slania's engravings.
The Danish little birds are adorable.
