"I'm bored!" They're the two words kids say that every parent dreads. OK, they're not the only two, but the moment they're uttered, it can sometimes feel like an impossible task keeping them entertained. Instead of leaving them to their tablets or the TV, this is the perfect opportunity to create long-lasting — and in this case tangible —memories.How, you ask?Pull out the coloring pencils, crayons and markers, and give the kids free reign to scribble their hearts away. And luckily for you, we have plenty of printable craft templates on hand to help kids embrace their artistic talents and...

The Four Courts Press have just published this very interesting book:"The Country of the Young: interpretations of youth and childhood in Irish culture" I was honoured that Kelly Matthews (co-editor with John Countryman) asked to use a detail of this rough I did for my Children of Lir stamp for the cover. Here's the blurb:"Throughout the history of modern Ireland, cultural representations of youth and childhood have served as focal points for discussions of social and political issues. Topics for the essays in this collection range from Famine-era women’s autobiographies to filmic portrayals of post-Good Friday Northern Ireland; from considerations of Patrick Pearse and Máirín Cregan to Anne Enright and Claire Keegan. The result is a complex and provocative view of childhood experiences in modern Ireland, and of the ways in which youth and childhood have been interpreted in the work of Irish writers, politicians, dramatists and filmmakers."

Pack of 5 Vintage Unused US Postage stamps of the: 37 cent Greta Garbo stamp. Scott catalog #: 3943 Garbo made 27 silent and sound movies from 1922 until her retirement. “Anna Christie” (1930) was the film in which her husky, seductive voice was first heard. Garbo alternated between exotic vamps and tragic heroines, even playing some comedy roles – it did not matter. Her mere presence made the films worth seeing. After World War II, Garbo retired. She abandoned Hollywood and moved to seclusion in New York. In 1955, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Greta Garbo with a special Oscar. Characteristically, the actress did not attend the ceremony. 5 Mint unused postage stamps with original gum as issued by the Post Office.

If you have looked into my vintage shop P8iosities on Etsy, you know that I collect postage stamps. I started as a kid and collected each stamp I could get. This became much too much, and finally I decided to collect only stamps with traditional costumes on it. Each Friday I will show you some stamps of my collection in this blog. We begin with the stamps of The Netherlands. The series of stamps I will show you today is the 1958 summer stamp series. Summer stamps are distributed each year by the Dutch Post and you can buy them at every post office in The Netherlands. There is an extra charge on the stamps, which is intended for cultural, social or health projects. In 1958, the summer stamps had to show the traditional costumes of different areas in the country. The designer Hubert Levigne was asked to make the stamps. He made two engravings of the provinces of Zeeland and Overijssel which were intended to be printed in one color. His engravings were rather stylized with an emphasis on one aspect of the costume and dominating lines. However, the Dutch Post and the designer did not agree; the Dutch Post found Levigne's designs too expressionistic, not colorful enough and not realistic enough. Finally they took the assignment from him and gave it to five different designers: P. Wetselaar (4 ct), W. den Ouden (6 ct), C.R. de Josselin de Jong (8 ct), J.R. Mensinga (12 ct) and A. Sins (30 ct). These five designers have made a very harmonious series together, more realistic and with dominating color spaces of delicate nuances instead of lines. 4 ct: Walcheren, Zeeland 6 ct: Marken, Noord-Holland 8 ct: Scheveningen, Zuid-Holland 12 ct: Friesland 30 ct: Volendam, Noord-Holland I like the 1958 series very much, but I must say that I like Levigne's designs even more; somehow they look much more modern. It's a pity that they were never realized. Source: Postzegelblog

Pack of 10 Vintage Unused US Postage stamps of the: 3 cent Trans-Atlantic Steamship "Savannah" stamp Issued May 22, 1944 Scott catalog #: 923 U.S. #923 was issued to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the steamship Savannah’s crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1819. The first steam-propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the Savannah sailed from Savannah, Georgia, on May 22, 1819, and arrived in Liverpool, England, 29 days later. Steamship Savannah On June 20, 1819, the 300-ton steamship Savannah sailed from Savannah, Georgia, to Liverpool, England. Although the ship was built in New York, it was named after its homeport in Georgia. The Savannah was the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It used both sails and steam to propel itself. During its trans-Atlantic voyage, the ship was driven by steam for 105 hours. Sails were used for the remainder of the 29-day journey. However, the trip was considered a successful demonstration of ocean-worthy steam power. Genuine US stamps with original gum as issued by the Post Office.
