Rural Ukraine



Within just two weeks I was sent these two cards from Ukraine.  They are numbers 10 and 11 from a series on rural life.  One had these beautiful stamps:


Each of the three large stamps comes from a mini-sheet.


Updated in case Bob returns this way.  The lighthouses are:
Sanzhiiskyi
Tendrivskyi
Tarkhankutskyi
Pavlovs'k Range Front
Illichivsk South Mole
Khersonesskiy





This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

  1. The first two sets of stamps are tremendous. I can see children liking the third. Try as I might I could not read the names of the light houses.

  4. Lovely sets, especially the lighthouses. I wonder if Lundy lighthouse has ever been depicted on a stamp?

  7. The cards look interesting, as for the stamps I am for the lighthouses too. If anyone interested, I can offer for exchange the last MS with animals.

  8. Oh my gosh the first stamp is that a mushroom house on the stamp? I too agree with Bob I am such a fan of lighthouses and those stamps are just absolutely too beautiful! Great post!

  11. Thank you all for your comments. It seems almost everyone likes lighthouses. I think they're pleasant, but not a particular favourite for some reason.

Welcome to my postcard collection! I love hearing what you think of the cards - but spam WILL be deleted.
