Curacao, Saudi Arabia & Brazil stamps

 Lots of goodies in the mail again today!

The first is a personal stamp from Curacao. This is another of the unofficial stamps that people can make and use for postage in that country. The theme of this one is "Thanks to Medical Heroes". While it is not an official postage stamp it makes a nice addition to my collection as it is a picture of a female medical worker and it appears that she is made of pictures of other medical heroes. 

Of note, Curacao did do an official postage stamp. I just don't have it....yet!




The next postage stamp comes from Saudi Arabia. This Covid stamp was issued on July 27, 2020 with a theme of "Covid Safety Promotion During Hajj 2020". The stamps says "The health and safety of Muslims is our priority" on it. It comes in a souvenir sheet with 4 stamps



The last Covid stamps for today come from Brazil. This souvenir sheet was issued on July 8, 2020. According to the informational sheetlet that came with the stamps the theme of the sheet and the stamps are as follows:
