What is it about vintage stamps? and the number eight? I love the tiny images, so colorful, such a little bit of color and charm fulfilling a mundane task. I bought these late last night on ebay (someone stop me!) and can’t wait to frame them up. I’m loving the grey of the second set of stamps (it would be a perfect color for reupholstering the armchair). Have a good weekend, Abbey
PS for anyone looking to buy vintage stamps: a stamp collector told me that Ebay really isn’t the best place to buy them. He says they are generally overpriced and the best thing to do is to head to a local stamp store (look in your yellowpages). Here in NYC, I’ve been meaning to check out Champion Stamp, which is supposed to be one of the best. Of course, I like to browse on ebay for inspiration (and late at night, when my will is weak, I clearly buy as well).

these grey stamps are so lovely I think grey is such a great elegant colour I just got hold of 20 metres of grey wool for £15 sterling off ebay and I’m planning putting everywhere!

Zia,

Hi everyone,
These came and are lovely! I’ll post about it soon! xo Abbey
Oh how pretty. Why can’t they make more pretty stamps like those? The floral on the grey is so chic.
