vintage and contemporary postcards and stamps from around the world

inside, outside

It would have been around 1978, when this stamp came out, that I first joined a quilting bee. It did not go well. I so admire the work these quilters can create. And the patience they have to get it done!


In 1965, Alexei Leonov became the first person to do a spacewalk. The map of earth behind him is interesting, and probably not at all as he saw it.

My aunt was a quilter, always in awe of what can be created. Love the Leonov stamp.

I always love a space-themed stamp ... that's a wonderful issue! My stamps are the very first of the 1900s in Britain!

Great set of stamps! I don't seem to be able to comment on your blog though ... Love the Crayola Crayons!

Yes, there is a problem with the blog. It is the second time it happens, and there is nothing I can do about :(
Sorry!
