I was able to visit some of your posts commemorating important people and/or events, and I thank you.
Well, with little preparation, I think this week's theme had better be, Anything you wish.
I have received a number of Postcrossing postcards from Russia this week, some with interesting stamps.
I cannot make sense of the Cyrillic letters, but I thank this postcrosser for some neat stamps. Thank you in advance for joining me this week! And remember, suggestions for future themes always welcome.
Theme next week: Stamps with unusual shapes, or unusual size.

I think the stamp on the left says Holy Sergius Monastery and is in Solovetsky Islands. The one on the right is Winter Hat.
Holy cow, it really *does* say "winter hat". I'm trying to improve my Russian vocabulary, but if they keep throwing out words like "zimnyaya" for "winter", I've got a long road ahead of me. You'd think the word for "winter" in a country featuring Siberia would be short and to the point.
glad you're ok :)
Oophs! Sorry about the first link, I was in too big a hurry.
Two great Russian stamps, especially the lady in the winter hat.
I like the Russian stamps series featuring hats, you could keep toasty warm in that one.
I think Russian hat is fashionable ;-)
As for your suggestion request for themes, I suggested Disney on my blog entry but I realized I only have just 1, so animated films is a more inclusive theme than Disney. :)
It dawned on me the other days that it was time I made an effort to learn a little Russian. I can't make anything out from the Cyrillic letters either.
I'll be missing for the next few weeks while I'm away. I still fondly imagine I might schedule a few posts before I leave but that seems to be drifting further into fantasy land.
