Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is The Colour Red. I know mine is not the most obvious choice but...

... two mostly red stamps belonging to the set Shaker Design, issued by USPS last June, to coincide with the 25oth anniversary of the arrival of the first Shakers to America.

On the stamps above: a heater stove (Hancock Shaker Village, Pittsfield). And, from the same set: a spinning wheel from Fruitlands Museum (Harvard, Massachussets) and a rocking chair from Canterbury Shaker Village (Canterbury, New Hampshire).
And still one more (non-red) stamp: staircases in the Trustees’ Office and Guest House at the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill (Harrodsburg, Kentucky).

Thank you for sharing. I have visited the Shaker museum in Pittsfield - lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great set of stamps!
ReplyDeleteA nice set. I like that red barn against such a blue sky. No, not a barn a tannery, I looked it up.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice choice for today. I see the snowman postmark as well - quite the contrast against the warm tones of the Shaker craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteA attractive red building for a very smelly process. Love the rocking chair looking out to the greenery.
ReplyDeleteThe red neckerchiefs stamp is really original. The red building is also eye-catching. Great stamps! The shakers items on the stamps are all awesome!
ReplyDeleteoh, that staircase!! I have one of those skajer rocking chairs and it is quite comfortable. the red tannery is a beautiful colour and design from the outside.
