Sunday Stamps #106 - Cartoons and cartoon-like drawings

Hello hello after a long break! As I am having an opportunity now to post on my blogs - albeit the 'old' scans on my usb - i have chosen my first post in 2013 to be for Viridian's Sunday Stamps. I am not even sure the following stamp qualifies for this week's theme...but lets give it a shot..!

I have received my 1st w&s postcard from tiny Monaco some years ago when my sis Marija went there on a holiday (in package with Côte d'Azur) - now this may seem like déjà vu as I have posted this exact postcard once before, but the truth is, i have two postcards from Monaco and they are a duplicate! But I was hoping to have a chance to post this one too as I simply love the stamp:





Issuing stamps promoting the Circus is a kind of a tradition for Monaco Post. This joyful piece was issued in december 2006 and is announcing the 2007 Circus Festival held in January. I think part of its attractiveness for me are the red hues :)) 
I wonder what the others have posted here!

  2. Monaco does produce some lovely stamps - and this is one of them. I like the card too because I haven't seen that view before.

  4. Hello and welcome to Sunday Stamps - glad you are here. This stamp is a good one for the theme. Monaco looks beautiful!

  5. I've posted a circus stamp as well so I definitely like yours. Monaco was one of the nicest places I've been on business so perhaps I'm biased

  6. very cute stamp! though im not much of a circus fan - coz of the way they may or may not be treating the animals...we had some problems with that last year with the circus that came

  8. I think I like pictures featuring the circus more than the actual circus (and clowns are just plain creepy). This stamp has a very happy looking elephant at least :)

  9. That is a nice stamp! There is a circus in town composed of former streetchildren that were trained on skills such as acrobatics, etc. I agree about the issue on animals. And clowns also creep me out.
