This selection is titled. BABY BUGGY-LAMB and CRANES. On land or in the air, few birds are as graceful as storks and cranes. These tall birds have fascinated people for centuries. They are characters in folklore, legend and myth. Many people consider them a sign of good fortune. And people around the world tell the story of the stork bringing human babies to lucky couples. This legend probably began because storks and cranes are such loving parents to their own babies. The same idea applies to sheep and their baby lambs. Also the softness of sheep's wool has often been used in making a comfy spot to lay a baby down on. Add in horns playing their music to gather attention for a great announcement and you've got a perfect collection of stamps to use for baby announcements or baby shower invitations.
