I fall in love with postal stamps and then become a loyalist — I will only send letters/bills/thank you notes with that stamp. My most recent obsession was the Albert Bierstadt stamp, above, which depicts his 1864 painting “Valley of the Yosemite.” With the change of the postal rate to 44 cents, I’ve been feeling sad, as there is something about having to use a extra stamp 2 cent stamp that ruins the effect of sending a letter — it just looks so messy to me (call me crazy). So imagine my delight when Black*Eiffel pointed out these king and queen “love” stamps. I’ve found my next obsession! PS did you know that you can buy stamps online at USPS.com? In NYC I’ve found that the “good” stamps often sell out at my local post office (and this after I’ve stood in line for 40 minutes).
PS: See some of my favorite vintage stamps here.
