Sunday Stamps: Women

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a beautiful sunny day in May, and it's mother's day in the USA.

It's time for Sunday Stamps.  The theme this week is women.

Two recent stamps have been issued by the US Postal Service, or are about to be issued.

First, a recent stamp:

Betty White, actress, TV personality.  I know her from the shows The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Golden Girls.

And a stamp to be issued June 10:

Barbara Bush, wife to President George H.W. Bush, and mother of President George H. Bush.

It's good to see women honored by stamps!

Sunday Stamps: Furniture

 Welcome to a cool rainy day in the American Midwest.  It's Sunday morning, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is furniture.

A stamp issued in 2008 celebrating the work of Charles and Ray Eames, a husband and wife design partnership.

According to Wikipedia:
Charles Ormond Eames, Jr. /ˈiːmz/ (1907–1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) were an American design married couple who made significant historical contributions to the development of modern architecture and furniture. Among their most well-known designs is the Eames Lounge Chair. They also worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art, and film. Ray Kaiser Eames and Charles Eames worked together as creative partners.

It may be art, but it looks uncomfortable to me.

Sunday Stamps: Patterns

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool (for late April) day but sunny and clear.  It's time for Sunday Stamps.

The them for this week is Patterns.  This stumped me for a bit.  I finally settled on this stamp from Turkey:

This is from a series on Calligraphy, I believe.  I picked this because of the subtle pattern in the background.

Sunday Stamps: Churches

 Good day, and welcome Easter Sunday!  It is a nice sunny day here in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

Our theme is Churches, and I have a stamp I have shared before, but it's a great one for today.

This is an image of one of rose windows in Notre Dame in Paris.  It was produced by Zazzle.com, under a contract with the US Postal Service.  You could produce your own customized postage stamps (for a fee of course), or choose from designs made by other people.  Zazzle is still in business but discontinued the postage stamps in 2020.  I did a few sheets of my own postage stamps once.  Zazzle produces all sorts of personalized products.

I wonder how collectable these Zazzle stamps are?
