Sunday Stamps: stories or folk tales

 Good day, and welcome to my stamps blog.

The theme today for Sunday Stamps is stories or folk tales.  I have a stamp I shared a long time ago, from Russia:

At the time, in 2012, I did not know anything about this stamp.  Now I know this is part of a set of stamps issued by Russia, and shows Ailyp and Golden Hair.  She is not Rapunzel, and the story is quite different!

Sunday Stamps: Summer

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

The theme this week is Summer.  I have a stamp I have shared before, one of a set of 4 celebrating the state or county fairs of the USA:

My children, when little, used to love going to the local fairs.

Sunday Stamps: of the Sea

 Good day, and welcome to a warm morning in the American Midwest.  We are under the heat dome.  It's 8:30 AM and already 80 degrees F (26.7 C).

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is of the sea.  The US Postal Service has two sets of stamps that fit the theme.

1. Save sea turtles

And 2.  Save the Manatee.

All these images are from the USPS website.

Sunday Stamps: Men who might be fathers

 Good day, and welcome to my blog!

It is a gray cool day in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme is Men who might be fathers.  I don't think these men were biological fathers, but are considered fathers of the USA:

Two humble 1 cent stamps, affixed to many a postcard in the past.  Benjamin Franklin on the left, and George Washington on the right.
