postal wonder
June 18, 2008
Don’t get me wrong- I like and appreciate plenty more than just modernist and mid-century design, but I had to post this about the Eames series of US postal stamps that were released June 17th, 2008. I just ordered some online. I was kinda wondering before I got to the check out how much the post office was gonna try and charge me for “shipping”. Good news- only one dollar for shipping.
This would make a great little gift, framed or unframed, or would just be great to mail ‘thank you’ notes and invites and not ruin all the cute stationery you have with a hideous stamp. Afterall, it’s all in the details.

ben just came home with those! they’re so cool… much better than the “american journalists” series (not that there’s anything wrong with pioneers in journalism).

I just got my stamp order! they are so cool but the usps is not very green in terms of how they are packaged when you order online. Each sheet came individually wrapped in cellophane and with a cardboard backing. I guess this is great for archival purposes and ensuring they do not get bent in the shipping process but it seems a bit excessive.

This is the first notion and glimpse I’ve had that such stamps exist, a highlight for me today. Tomorrow’s highlight will be acquiring them.
