Breakfast at Tiffany's

Eric sent me one of his envelopes that celebrate classic films. 





The stamps he used are gorgeous - they are printed using the intaglio technique, so have some raised lines, giving them a great tactile element that you can't appreciate in the…

The perfect packets from Eva and Eric

Great envelopes, great stamps, great letters - perfect packets!

Eva even wrote in green for spring, and the chicken and rooster in the stained glass window on the stamp is just amazing.



 I also enjoyed the not-quite-correct English on this…

Stars from Mim

This piece from Mim is even prettier in person - the scanner didn't seem to want to pick up all the details.

Still winter

After a warmer than usual February, March and April so far have been pretty dismal. Snow, ice, rain and fog, with very little sun and low temperatures.



And not nearly as nice and bright as Eva's winter envelope scene. Like the stamp says, creativity!…

Year of the Rooster

The USPS Lunar New Year of the Rooster stamp is the 10th in a series by the artist Kam Mak. I really like the series which focuses on different aspects of this celebration, although it has been criticized for not featuring the zodiac animals more prominently.



You can't really say that about this year's stamp, as a rooster on a red hongbao is the main focus. There's also a gold rooster top right.
