Sunday Stamps: Words not pictures

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It is a warm sunny Spring day here in the American Midwest!  Hurrah!  Trees are budding and birds are singing.

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is more words than pictures.  I have a stamp from the US Postal Service that fits the theme:

A cheerful stamp that covers all occasions, whether it's a birthday, a wedding, or a party.   It is currently available on the USPS website.

Sunday Stamps: Easter and Spring

 Good day, and welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  It is a sunny but chilly Spring day in the American Midwest.

The US Postal Service has just released these stamps of Mountain wildflowers (March 14, 2022). The images below are from their web page.  I like the designs, almost like woodcuts:


And one stamp features the pasque flower:


An early bloomer in the mountains, about the time of Easter or Passover, therefore its name.  Our hostess has also featured a stamp with this flower!  Other flowers in the USA set are a wood lily, Alpine buttercup, and Woods' rose.

Sunday Stamps: Birds

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool but sunny day in the American Midwest.

This week's theme is birds.

The USPS does not have any bird stamps presently listed on their website, so I went looking on the internet.  Inspired by our hostess, I found some older New Zealand bird stamps:


This is from a search on the google machine.  I found these 1959 stamps on a stamps for sale site.  Some neat water birds.

Sunday Stamps: Fashion

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It is supposed to be Spring here in the American Midwest and the trees are budding, but the weather is cold and gray.

It's the day for Sunday Stamps, and this week's theme is fashion.  I had to go onto the internet for this, and I am copying below an image from Pinterest.  It is from a set issued by the Royal Mail (Great Britain).  Joy has shown two of these stamps on her blog.  

Here is one more:
