Thoughtful Choice

Sometimes I am surprised by postcrossers. Someone from Austria chose this 2008 stamp for me, commemorating Spain winning the UEFA European Football Championship that year. I am not into football, but I think it was very thoughtful from the sender.

Spanish stamps are not allowed to feature living people (except the royal family), so I find it curious to see Iker Casillas on a stamp.

Plus, the stamp is (almost) written in Spanish.

Women on Postcards | G Is for Garland-Gumm-Gale

I used a postcard from this series to illustrate letter O (Oz) in the Women on Postcards project. Since Marina sent me another one, I thought it would work for the G.

Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm; 1922 – 1969) was an American actress and singer who became a cultural icon. She achieved international recognition for her portrayal of Dorothy Gale in the musical film The Wizard of Oz (1939). 

Dinosaurs

Sent to Marina (the USA). Made out of a magazine cover. She got it!

Sunday Stamps | P Is for Piaf

I used these stamps of Edith Piaf on a previous round of Sunday Stamps A-Z, long ago. They were issued in 2012.

But I have recently got a third one, from France. I was wondering why they have used the same picture... until I realised it was a joint issue with the USA!

This is my P post for Sunday Stamps A-Z.

Joy

This stamp is perfect for any occasion!
