Happy PFF: April 15

It's been a long and busy week.  Very busy.  And I don't have any Easter cards that I haven't already published as part of Postcard Friendship Friday. 

So, I will ask you to imagine that you are joining me on Easter Break, and that we are relaxing on the beach.  A gentle breeze is rustling the palms.  A beautiful golden full moon has just risen in the east and moonlight is glistening on the water.  Maybe we are writing postcards to our friends up north.

It's very quiet, but down the path behind us is the hotel beach bar where we can refill our rum punch or margarita glasses.  Enjoy!

Remember: My meme Sunday Stamps opens again late Saturday night (USA time). Theme: Easter or religious, any religion.

Sunday Stamps #14

It's Spring and I think of flowers.

Sunflowers appear later in the summer of course, but this stamp is so bright and cheerful I wanted to share it today. It is from the Republic of China or Taiwan.  Some of us may remember this island being known as Formosa.

 In the Midwest USA we have had a run of gray rainy weather.  Finally it's sunny and warm today. And this sunflower fits my improved mood.

A question to my readers, regular and irregular:  do you have any suggestions for themes for future Sunday Stamps?  I have some  in mind but would appreciate suggestions of topics I have overlooked.

Postcard Friendship Friday: You and me

Postmarked April 13 1908 (I think) in Lynn Mass., and sent to Reginald Crawford, #810 Vanderbuilt [sic] St. Brooklyn, New York.

Message on the back: "thanks for the valentine it was very pretty.  Mamma has gone to England and I wish you were here with us.  Florence"

I think there is a love story going on here!  Note the labeling of the cherubs on the front.

I'm joining Beth for Postcard Friendship Friday.

Sunday Stamps #13

In which I ask you to share anything you wish.  I'll share a stamp I created myself:

It's my avatar for this blog and for Postcrossing, holding down some USA postage.  It is true I paid more that 44 cents each to have this stamp made, but who else has such a stamp? I am happy with how this turned out.

Along the way, zazzle management asked me if this was a photograph of anyone famous, and where I obtained the image.  I imagine they have to worry a lot about copyright infringement.  But no, this is from a photograph that I own, and I do not think she is anyone famous.

Share with us any stamp you wish.  The linky list will be open until Midnight USA Eastern time.
