Blue

 Blue is the theme of today's Sunday Stamps, and I have this first class stamp from Finland issued in 2014.

Raven Story

 Today's Sunday Stamps theme is stories and fairytales. One of my favorite stamps with this theme is the Raven Story, issued by USPS in 2021.

The National Postal Museum website has a nice description of the meaning of the Raven in northwest American native cultures. The stamp features a Raven that is transitioning from human form to avian form - you can see the hand shape at the bottom of the stamp. The stars and orbs are highlighted in gold foil, representing the Raven as lightbringer.

I used these stamp in a Pushing the Envelopes envelope exchange earlier in the year, making envelopes from calendar pages showcasing inuit art.

Postbox Saturday

 Spotted at Columbus Zoo.

I wish it was real so I could send postcards from there!

Boston Public Garden

 Gardens is the subject for today's postcard hunt.

CJ sent me this great card from Boston showing the famous swanboats at dock. The opening date for the boats this year was April 19th - and this is the 158th year!

This is also a place I have visited, albeit about 20 years ago.
