What I’m digging

Flag stamps are, like, so outdated, man.

My first adventure to the world of FUN STAMPS happened a few months ago when I discovered these spiffy stamps focusing on Childrens Literature:

I had to buy the stamps online because, even though the post office had posters saying “Look! Look at all the neat stamps you can buy!” they were all out of neat, and only had flags left. Poo. I had quite a good time with these stamps. If I knew you and liked you, you had a carefully chosen stamp. Possibly the Caterpillar, maybe George. If you were/are a Wild Thing – a Wild Thing that makes my heart sing instead of giving me nightmares, your stamp was chosen accordingly. If you were a company demanding money from me now! you got Fredrick. Because, really? Fredrick who? Oh, this Fredrick. Whoop.

A few weeks ago, during the Mail Box Hoo-Ha Disaster of Ot-6, (did I even spell that right? I’ve never written out ‘ot’, or ‘ought’…hmmm) I saw a sign in the post office advertising the Gee’s Bend stamps. And I was thrilled. See for yourself.

Not only are they gorgeous, I love the history behind the quilts and the beautiful women who created them. In fact, I shall frame some.

Look-ee here what else I found (and bought, of course):

More stamps! Pretty stamps! Fun stamps! So, what are you waiting for. Go! Buy! Then send me a letter (so much more fun than e-mail!) to show me what you bought!
