"love" Stamp

[Octo]

Each February the U.S. post office issues a special stamp for Valentine's day. This year's stamp shows sealing wax impressed by a heart seal. Unfortunately my small post office doesn't have it. The U.S.P.S. description of the stamp and its creation is at

My post office has lots. I can send you some. They're what I'm using for A Month Of Letters.

Thank you! I'll be going to the P.O. tomorrow to ask again. If they don't have the stamps, I'll PM you. You are generous.

[ehoh]

I always have this problem (post offices always run out of the pretty or interesting stamps) so I just order them from the USPS site. I think it's only $1 to ship your entire order via Priority Mail.

I don't want the stamp, I want the seal. Jus' kiddn'. It is, however a beautiful stamp.

Good news. My P.O. says they expect a shipment next week. Thanks Johnmetta for your offer to send some, though.

[johnmetta]

Glad you can get some. They really are lovely.

Oh wow! Are these limited? I am going to get 10 sheets if they are!

They are nice stamps.

 

After reading the write up, I think I'll hold off on buying a wax seal. Might choose the wrong color wax and insult someone.

This sounds like a job for Dexter's. I'm imagining the Love postage stamp simulating the real heart stamp on the back.

You're lucky! For my Month of Letters, my P.O. just runs it through the metering machine.

Success! The stamps came in at the Post Office and I bought four sheets. For a while my letters will have wax seal postal stamps on the front and a real wax seal on the reverse. The stamps are as pretty in reality as in the pictures.

I bought 100 myself (5 sheets). You can't go wrong with forever stamps. Especially when they're really nice looking. I wish I'd done the same with the 2011 holiday stamps (pinecones).
