Sunday Stamps; Madonna with child

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is religious Christmas stamps.  For my contribution:  I may be bending the rules a bit, as I don't know if this stamp from Germany was issued as a Christmas stamp or not.  But it is of one the most famous Madonna and Child paintings out there.  Bonus:  it's an amazing mini-sheet.

A famous painting by Raphael, part of the High Renaissance in Italy.

Sunday Stamps; Secular Christmas stamps

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

This week's theme for Sunday stamps is Christmas, specifically secular Christmas stamps (religious Christmas stamps will be next week).  Here is one I would have purchased is my days of participating in Postcrossing:

A round USA stamp for international postage.  This rate is now US $1.20, which is one reason why I am not participating in Postcrossing anymore.  But what a wonderful idea - sending postcards across the world, and getting pretty postcards from strangers in return.

Sunday Stamps: RED

 Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  It's Sunday and time for Sunday stamps.  The theme for this week is the color red.  I have stamps not for Christmas but for another holiday:

A set of two USA Forever stamps, issued some time ago for Valentine's Day.  Which one do you like better, the red background or the white background?  I like both actually.

It's early December but time to order on line for Christmas gifts, which I might be doing later today.
