In Love… {Ideas and Information}

with the new 2011 Love stamp collection from the US Postal Service. These beautiful works of art will be available for purchase on May 19th and can add the perfect touch to your invitations or RSVP envelopes.

From usps.com -

“The Garden of Love — ten different First-Class stamps depicting a colorful mosaic of flora and fauna in a garden setting — will be issued May 19. These stamps are a continuation of the Love series, begun in 1973, and are intended for use on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day cards, as well as on other occasions when love and affection are expressed.

Award-winning illustrator José Ortega of New York City and Toronto depicts an abstract garden of bright flowers, a butterfly, a strawberry, and doves, interlaced with vines that run from one stamp to another. Each prominent element of the design is in the shape of a heart. The deep blue background is reminiscent of a brilliant summer sky. The word “Love” sits atop each stamp.”

There are also a lot of other places to find unique or vintage stamps. Check out The Paper Nickel or  Verde Studio’s collection of unused vintage stamps. And for help finding more options check out 100 Layer Cake’s blog post on vintage stamps.
