Sunday Stamps: Green

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a cool cloudy day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday stamps.

The them this week is Green, or Irish stamps.  I don't have any ready scans of Irish stamps, so green it is.


This is one of a set of Spring stamps released just yesterday.  Each stamp shows a hummingbird and flowers.  This is the greenest one of the lot, and the image here is from the US Postal Service.

Sunday Stamps: Flowers

 Good Day and welcome to my blog.  It is a sunny day, and warm (53 F) for this time of year.  It's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme this week is flowers.

I have a stamp from the US Postal Service.  It will be available on March 22 this year.

This stamp is made for heavier or thicker items, such as wedding invitations, therefore the 2 ounce rate printed on it.  It is a forever stamp, always worth the 2 ounce rate.

Sunday Stamps: Illustrations

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  It's a cool sunny day in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme this week is illustrations.  I have a stamp issued last year, still available on the USPS website:


A stamp honoring children's book author Tomie dePaola (1934 - 2020). He has a varied body of work: folktales, legends, informational books, religious and holiday stories, and autobiographical tales.  The stamp art features a detail from the cover of Strega Nona, or "grandma witch"  who uses magic to help with matters of the heart and to cure her neighbors' ills.

Sunday Stamps: Blue

 Good day, and welcome to a cold but sunny day in the American Midwest.  The snow that fell yesterday and the day before is not melting.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is blue.

I have a clever interpretation for you today:


Bluegrass music!  This stamp will be available on March 14, 2024.  The instruments pictured are the core of a bluegrass band.  The "high and lonesome" sound is from the Appalachian region of the USA.
