Sunday Stamps: Creepy-crawlies

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool sunny late Spring day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is creepy-crawlies.  This could be insects, or other invertebrates.  Yes insects are on stamps, though not often.

First:

A butterfly from the USPS.  This stamp is for square envelopes.  Most people find this insect beautiful.

And then there's an older stamp:

A dung beetle, from a set of stamps featuring insects released in 1999.  Eww.  Well, the entomologists were happy with that set of stamps.

Sunday Stamps: Cities/Urban

 Good day, and welcome to my postcard and stamp blog.  It is a cool May day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday stamps.

The theme this week is Cities or urban scenes.  I have a stamp of Paris:

That was a joint issue with China.  This stamp was issued some time ago.  I also have an urban scene:

A streetcar and some nice birch trees from Finland.  When I was in Postcrossing I received many postcards from Finland.

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.
