Sunday Stamps: Mustaches

 It is a cool and sunny morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The them today is Mustaches.  I have a stamp and surrounding material I last shared in 2014:

Sent to me by a Postcrosser form France.  Benjamin Rabier is associated with the Laughing Cow, and here is part of his Wikipedia entry:

Benjamin Rabier (1864–1939) was a French illustrator, comic book artist and animator. He became famous for creating the logo for Laughing Cow Cheese (La vache qui rit), and is one of the precursors of animal comics. His work has inspired many other artists, notably Hergé and Edmond-François Calvo.

A native of La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, Rabier started to work as an illustrator for various newspapers after meeting political cartoonist Caran d'Ache. His first album for children was the story of Tintin-Lutin, published in 1898, which told of a young lutin or "imp"; here his main characters are human and not animals, as they came to be in later albums. His most famous creations are Gideon the duck and the characters he drew for Le roman de Renart.

Fun!

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Public buildings

 ... A palace in fact.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool and sunny day in the American Midwest.  It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is public buildings.

The US Postal Service has no current stamps that fit the theme, so I looked at my old blog entries, and found these stamps from Russia, issued in 2013:

These stamps came from a Postcrosser in St. Petersburg, on a postcard sent to me in 2014.  The bottom stamp, I am pretty sure, is of the Winter Palace.

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Birds

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a great sunny day in the American Midwest.  It's warmer than usual for this time of year, warm in the sun and cool in the shade.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is birds.

Having none in hand, I searched out stamp resellers on the internet and found this pretty one:

A Forever stamp with a chickadee, a favorite of many.  It is named after its call, a quick high "chick a dee dee dee."   These birds stay in the north over winter and will happily come to your bird feeder.

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Jewelry

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

Our theme today is Jewelry, and there is a stamp available on the USPS website:

Released in 2011, it is to make up postage, before the USPS switched to Forever stamps.  This is an image of a Navajo silver and turquoise necklace, and they are stunning in person.  I don't have one, I have only seen them in stores and galleries!

Have a good week, everybody.
