For Christmas stamps with a religious theme
Great foray day cover - the art nouveau font used works really well with the stamps.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Christmas sets. As they were one of the early post decimilisation sets if I had a stash I could still use them although might need a rather large envelope with today's postage.
ReplyDeleteEva has also blogged stamps for today's theme. http://mailadventures.blogspot.com/2015/12/stained-glass-windows-on-christmas.html
