Sunday Stamps #123

It's Saturday evening, a storm is clearing away, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.


I have a cold, or something, and so I am not feeling my best.  A short post tonight then.  Our theme:

Stamps from Finland, another country well-known for interesting stamps.

Here is a great one:


You can just make out the Cumulonimbus capillatus title.  On the real card you have to turn the stamp to the light just right to see this, and to see some weather map symbols.  Great colors!

What stamps from Finland do you have to share this week?

Theme next week: It's Memorial Day in the USA.  Let's share stamps commemorating or memorializing someone or an important event.

Also:  Suggestions for future themes welcome!

Sunday Stamps # 122

I am leaving for a business trip and so I am getting Sunday Stamps ready a couple of days ahead of time. I don't have much time to work here before getting to the airport,so let's just remind you that this week's theme is Children, toys and games, anything related to children.


These stamps recently arrived from Taiwan, on a Postcrossing postcard.

Have fun with this theme!

Theme next week: Stamps from Finland, another country well-known for interesting stamps.

Sunday Stamps #121

It's time for Sunday Stamps.  Theme this week: Stamps from China, or Taiwan.



Lately, when I have been sending out Postcrossing postcards, I am opting to put 2 first class stamps on the postcard plus a 20 cent stamp to meet the international postal rate.  Some people don't notice but some postcrossers appreciate the interesting stamps.  Some postcrossers in China must be doing the same thing, because I have received some interesting combinations of stamps.


This set of three is from one card, and

 
from another, larger, card.
 
What stamps from China or Taiwan do you have this week?  Add your link below.
 
Edited to add: theme for next week: Children, toys and games, anything related to children.
