Sunday Stamps #191 - Anything You Wish

It's been quite a few weeks since I last participated in Sunday Stamps. I have the day off from work today and chose to stay home instead of going to Disney. We're enjoying a nice relaxing Sunday at home doing housework and spending time together. This weeks Sunday Stamps theme is Anything you wish. I chose to do mine on Disney stamps I've received on postcards. Would you really expect anything else from me? 

Up first is a Finding Nemo stamp featuring Crush and a couple of his sea turtle friends, Pretty righteous huh? Chaw! It comes from a series that was released April 3, 2008. Other stamps included in the set feature Nemo, Bubbles, Pearl, and Dory. A second sheet was released as well that features Nemo, Squirt, Peach, Tad, and Sheldon. I hope one day to receive the rest of them because they look simply adorable and well, it's Disney.


Next is a stamp from Japan featuring Alice riding in a hot air balloon that resembles a familiar feline, Cheshire Cat. This stamp comes from a 2013 Disney Characters Set that includes hot air balloon stamps featuring different characters such as Oswald The Lucky Rabbit, Winnie The Pooh and Piglet, Tinkerbell, Marie, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, Disney Princesses, and Dumbo. Designed by Nakamaru Hitomi. I swear Japan always has the cutest things.


Here are a few other Disney Stamps from Japan. All three of these come from the series Disney Animated Classics. This set was released on May 23, 2014. Other stamps in the series feature Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Bambi, 101 Dalmatians, and Pinocchio. I'll have to try and set up a few trades from Japan to get the others. Oh Japan, how I love you.



This next one comes from the Polish Post. Titled the Magical World of Disney. This stamp was released on June 1, 2013. It was such a great surprise to receive the whole piece on the back of a postcard. 


Lastly we have a stamp that features my all time favorite Disney character, Donald Duck. This stamp comes from Finland. This is one stamp of a five piece Donald Duck commemorative set. The set was released March 13, 2001. 


Thank you for checking out my Sunday Stamps post. I hope you enjoyed the Disney stamps I have shared with you. Hopefully I will receive many more in the future.

Sunday Stamps


This week on Sunday Stamps the theme is "Undersea Life". I came across these on a postcard I received. They come from a 2014 set called Sustainable Fish from Great Britain. These are just 2 out of the 10 available. Painted by an artist by the name of David Miller. The one on the right features a Red Gurnard and on the left we have featured a Dab. These stamps were released on June 23 of this year.

 Here is a link to learn more about the Red Gurnard.

This weeks theme is beautiful landscapes. I like this stamp a lot because it reminds me of spending time in Alabama at my Aunt and Uncles house picking apples from their huge apple tree. We'd bake all kinds of apple goodies over the following days.

This stamp comes from Germany. It was released on March 1, 2012 to represent Spring in Germany, otherwise known as Frühlingsferien. There are 3 others in the series. One representing a different season of the year.

Sunday Stamps


This particular stamp comes from Poland. It was released on June 30, 2003 as part of the Polish Fairy Tales set. Artist was Teresa Wilbik-Stanny. The fairy tale featured in this stamp is Stupid Mateo written by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. Although I couldn't find any history of the fairy tale nor is it listed on the authors Wikipedia page. I would love to learn more about it, but my attempts are now futile. Plenty of information regarding the stamp is found however.
