Sunday Stamps # 73

Today's theme is anything you wish.

I am sharing with you a stamp from Poland, with some pretty flowers in a basket.  Appropriate for this Springtime day!  Please join me this weekend in sharing any stamp you wish to share.

Theme next week:  Tuesday is the transit of Venus, a once in a lifetime event. (DO NOT look at the Sun directly, either with or without binoculars or a telescope!  You will hurt your eyes.)  To celebrate, let's share astronomy stamps, or science stamps, or stamps of scientists.  I myself don't have astronomy stamps, but I do have some science stamps.

Fashion and Stamps come together

One of my favorite blogs, that I check several times a day, is the fabulous and opinionated Tom and Lorenzo.

How exciting then to have stamps and Fashion commentary come together in their blog entry on a new set of stamps issued by the Royal Mail, celebrating 60 years of fashion.  Check out their blog entry and enjoy.

Postcard Friendship Friday June 1

I am sorry I have been away for a while.  Back again today.

A recipe postcard from Russia - involving caviar as a topping, of course!  The instructions are on the reverse and are pretty complicated, involving preparing the yeast, kneading, letting the dough rest, and kneading again.  Maybe not.

I am joining up with Beth at the Best Hearts are Crunchy for PFF today.

Sunday Stamps #72

Theme for this week: Maps on stamps, a theme suggested by Helen. I finally have one to share!!
And here it is:

This arrived recently on a postcard from a Postcrosser in Belarus.  Featured are the magnificent Emperor penguins, with a map of Antarctica in the background.  Maps on stamps are more common than I thought - I tend to overlook them somehow.

It's a holiday weekend here in the US but I hope you can join us for Sunday Stamps.  I will be away from my computer on a short family holiday so I will be late in commenting.

Theme next week;  anything you wish.
