Sunday stamps: the Letter "U"

 Hello and welcome to my postcard and stamp blog.

It is a sunny day in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

We are up to the letter "U" in our tour of the alphabet.  This makes me think of the United States of America, and I have featured many, many USA stamps on this blog.  Let's see what the USPS has for stamps this holiday season:

Four cheerful stamps that you can see here. (This image is from the USPS.)  Amaryllis, fruits and pine needles, 2 cardinals, and a wreath with a red bow.

Enjoy the season!  It's the solstice today, and days will slowly start getting longer (in the Northern Hemisphere) from now on.

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "T"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a bitterly cold day in the American Midwest, -1 deg F, something negative in deg C.

It is sunny though.  And it's time for Sunday Stamps.

I went looking through the current offerings at the US Postal Service and found two stamps.  First, a Thank you stamp:

Thanks to all who work in health care.  We don't think about this, until suddenly we need them.

And a tulip stamp with makeup postage of 5 cents:

This stamp is part of a series of USA flower stamps painted in the same style, worth different amount of makeup postage.

Sunday Stamps: the letter "S"

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It is a cold cloudy day in the American Midwest.  It's Sunday morning, and time for Sunday Stamps.

We are up to the letter S in our tour of the alphabet, and I have some older stamps from Sweden to share.

A hawk, and a cute seal.  The postmark seems to indicate these are from 1988.

Next week:  the letter "T".

Sunday Stamps: the letter "R"

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It is a cold blustery day in the American Midwest, and the snow predicted for this area did not really develop.

It's time for Sunday Stamps.

We are up to the letter "R" and I have some stamps of pottery, that I think are from the same series of stamps that SeeitonaPostcard showed.

On the left is some pottery from the Maramures (Marmatia) area of Romania.  On the right, pottery from Valcea area.  (I am sorry, I cannot reproduce the actual letters of the Romanian alphabet).

Both stamps are from 2007 and were shared years ago on this blog.
