Happy 4th

 


I spotted the sailboat (in the image above) out in Elliott Bay a few days ago and thought it would be fitting for a Happy 4th of July post. America celebrates its 250th birthday today.

From my collection of old postcards, the card above seemed to be a good choice for year 250 which will certainly be celebrated with plenty of firecrackers. However, I don't recommend sitting on a firecracker like the young lady above.

I'm also a stamp collector and discovered the USPS has new stamps to celebrate birthday 250. The new stamps are called American Icons curated by Ralph Lauren. There are 12 new stamps and a special collectors edition includes 12 oversized postcards. See the images below.

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
I'm linking up with Saturday's Critters, the sharing site for those who love critters, like the Faithful Dog. 😊
