Sunday Stamps - Set of Six dogs!


Welcome, to the latest Sunday Stamps posting.

Following on my last week's post I dropped my cousin in Australia a quick email. Would her children like my stamp collection? I had the email back yes they would love it, as it would compliment the childhood collection that their Mum has given to them. I am delighted. We are not off to Australia until the Autumn of 2012, which gives me many months to share my stamps here, and have a pictorial view of them before I pass them on to be enjoyed by another generation of my family and to share the memory of how the collection started.

So, as I was preparing to write this post I wondered what stamp I should kick off with. I initially collected stamps world wide. Then I recall parting with some of the non UK stamps and kept some special ones. So mainly my collection comprises of UK stamps, with a smattering of overseas ones and a few "different" or "special" sets.

I am really going to enjoy writing for this meme and sharing my collection......

  1. I have a friend who would love those stamps! Reminds me of the cigarette cards we used to collect at children, I loved the wild flower ones best.

  3. Dogs were my first choice too, but it wasn't as easy as I thought.
    Your dog stamps are a fine set and not the usual ones chosen.
    You will have fun with Sunday Stamps.

  4. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Yes, I do recall the cigarette cards and something tells me that my Grandfather had a small collection - I think I can recall one with primroses on. I have no idea what happened to them.

    Back to the stamps, I don't recall where I got them from, but I do have another two sets like them, one with cats on.

  5. I'm embarrassed to admit I had to look up where Sharjah was. They are beautiful stamps and dogs.
