The new Love stamps are here!


Oh, happy day! The new Love stamps are here. Now, you know that I just love stamps. See an earlier post on my love of stamps here. But (and I know I can tend towards superlatives) these might be my all-time favorite stamps. Sunny, vibrant, evocative of folk art and yet distinctly modern. I have been going to the post office for months hoping they had arrived and I even went yesterday. But I had no luck. My mom found these at the Hallmark store and gave them to me…she didn’t even know I had been waiting anxiously for them! She loves them, too. read more

Abstract Expressionists Stamp



I love stamps. All different kinds of stamps. I love that we honor the people in our culture who do great things by putting them on our letters. Little, tiny homages zooming about on pieces of paper. But OMG for the abstract painter, today is a lovely day. I went to the post office and lo and behold there it was: a sheet of Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Motherwell, de Kooning, Newman, Pollock, Gorky, etc. The Motherwell stamp might be my favorite because of its boldness and scale.
