Postcard Friendship Friday May 4

This card came for me via Postcrossing.  It is from Austria.  As with many tourist cards I get, I add one more place on my list of locations to visit - someday.

Remember, Sunday Stamps will open up late Saturday (tomorrow), on this blog.  I hope you can join us.

I'm joining up with Beth for Postcard Friendship Friday.

Sunday Stamps # 68

Week #68:

Theme this week: Stamps on stamps, stamps celebrating stamp collecting, stamp designers or the postal services in general.  Or stamps that show a post box.  It's OK to share a stamp that you showed us some time before.

And it's a good thing I added that last sentence because my stamps this week are:

Stamps I shared back in week 3 or 4 or thereabouts!  I am posting these instead of what I really wanted.

I have an older stamp from Czechoslovakia that features a stamp on it, but I cannot find my scan of it, or more importantly, my old stamp album that had that stamp in it.  And I really wanted to share it this week.  I do hope I find my old album.

Oh, and results from my 'poll' about changing the style of the links: results were about evenly divided, so I think I will stick with the simple list.

Theme next week:  It will be just after Cinco de Mayo, and close to the anniversaries of the Liberation of Europe by the Allies in 1945.  You could share a stamp from Mexico, or one commemorating the end of WWII, or the liberation of a non-European country, or expressing the theme of Liberation in general.  Interpret this theme broadly.

Sunday Stamps #67

It's week #67!  And the theme is anything you wish.
I have for you a stamp that was hiding in my desk drawer, with the stamp of English roses that I shared a few weeks ago.

From a while ago, when first class postage was 34 cents.  These are pronghorn antelope and in the background are bison or buffalo.  I think this was part of a series of stamps depicting life of the Great Plains of the USA.

A question for participants:  Would it be more interesting to have a linky list that shows a thumbnail?  You could choose the image that would be the thumbnail - say your avatar, or the stamp you are sharing.  Linky tools can do this.

Theme next week: Stamps on stamps, stamps celebrating stamp collecting, stamp designers or the postal services in general.  Or stamps that show a post box.  It's OK to share a stamp that you showed us some time before.  Interpret broadly, or don't follow the theme at all.  What stamp showed up in your mailbox recently?

Sepia Saturday 122 April 21

This week's theme at Sepia Saturday  is a photo of  "Students at Drouin State School, Victoria Tend The School's Garden".  What I noticed was the architecture of the building in the background.  It reminded me of the University where I was an undergraduate.

This is the chapel at Boston University in Boston MA.  This photo comes from their archives site.

Interpreting things my own way,

PS. Sunday Stamps posts will be up later today.  Theme: Anything you wish.
