Sunday Stamps: Celebrations

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

The theme today is Celebrations.  Each year the US Postal Service issues stamps for Christmas (religious and secular), Hanukah, Kwanzaa, and Diwali.  Following the lead of our hostess, here is the Diwali stamp for this year:

Issued Oct. 21, and this image is from the USPS website.

First class US postage is now 82 cents - yikes!

I have already shared the Christmas stamps for this year - a Madonna in red robes, and Christmas cookies.

Sunday Stamps: Fashion

 Good day, and welcome to a cool cloudy afternoon in the American Midwest.  It's Sunday, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The them today is Fashion, and I'll admit upfront that I searched the internet and landed on a stamp dealer's website.

Oscar de la Renta - see his Wikipedia page.  A USA stamp from 2017, that I do not remember ever seeing!

And another:

His fashion house is still going - see the Website.

Sunday Stamps: the color red

 Good day and welcome to my blog.

It's a frosty morning in the American Midwest - our first frost.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is the color red.  I have a new seasonal stamp from the US Postal Service to share.  The image is from their website.

This is the religious Christmas stamp released for this year.  The Madonna is pictured in red robes.  Often, she is pictured in blue, so this is a little different.

Sunday Stamps: Food (sweets)

 Post #801!

It's a rainy morning in the American Midwest and time for Sunday Stamps.  The theme is food, and like another contributor, I am featuring sweets.  They are not good for you but are so delicious.

These are new stamps for the US Postal Service, showing iced sugar cookies in Christmas designs.  This image is from the USPS.  Every year the USPS usually releases a religious Christmas stamp and a non-religious set, as well as a Hanukah stamp.
