I love your selection of stamps this week. The Turkish stamp and US stamps are great choices – they’re a great reminder of the importance of father figures in shaping a nation. And who doesn’t love an Italian stamp featuring a classic Giorgione painting?

Founding Fathers was a great choice for the theme. Joseph too, as step-fathers can be, and should be, “fatherly men.”

A great set for this week. I feel like I rarely see a Turkish stamp. I almost went with Joseph and Father Christmas 😉 – FinnBadger
