Sunday stamps # 63

This week's theme is flowers, or Spring. 

Here are some roses from Great Britain.  This is an older stamp that had been hiding in my desk drawer at work.  But I do not how old this stamp is.

Spring is going strong here in the Midwest! Four days of well above average temperatures has made the trees and bushes bud, and then burst open with new little leaves.

Now I ask for your help.  I am running low on ideas for themes for Sunday Stamps.  April is  National Poetry month, so there is one theme.  But do you have some suggestions for future themes, ones where people in different parts of the world will be able to find a related stamp?  What have I overlooked?

So, as you can guess, the theme for next week is anything you wish!

This is another in my collection of Holy Cards. A very famous verse from Luke is featured, as well as some exquisite roses.
 
Happy Pink Saturday!

This card is about the size of Holy Cards (Catholics will know what I mean).  The printing quality is excellent. Cars like this were handed out as prized in Sunday School.  I purchased a lot of these to cut up for collages, but now I can't bear to.

"I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing. Gen. XII 2"

Enjoy the rose and beautiful butterfly, and let them enhance your wonderful weekend.  With two boys in trouble at school this week, I sure need some pretty to contemplate.

Pink Saturday

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday!

This is a card that came as part of a lot on ebay.  They are a little smaller, and a slightly different shape than postcards, but not as small as Holy cards.  I believe they were given out as awards in Sunday Schools of the past.
 
I consider my religion to be a private thing, and usually don't quote Scripture on this blog.  Here though is what the card says:
 
"Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them."
"For his great love wherewith he loved us."

I really like the graphics of this period, and this particular pink rose.

S.L. and PFF Friday!

Oh my. I saved this one for Friday! Sentimental landscape AND roses. It was printed in Germany, and sent to a lady in Kirksville, Missouri, from a loving grandson, "wishing you many more Happy Birthdays".

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
