Vintage Stamp Love
For as long as I can remember I have been drawn to cards, handwritten letters, and vintage stamps.
As the pace of life gets faster writing a letter or sending a card may be just what we need.
And it doesn’t stop there…why not curate the first thing they’ll see!
The Stamp
Collecting Vintage Stamps is something I have grown fond of.
As a creative photographer, I look for details and anything that tells a story.
These little stamps not only have beautiful detail, but each one is a piece of history.
As we bring back the lost art of writing letters and sending snail mail.
Consider adding vintage stamps.
They’re accepted within the USA as long as the postage adds up to today’s rate.
Or simply use them in your storytelling photography.
They’re also perfect for wedding invitations.
Adding a little nostalgia to those special invites.
Have fun with your stamp layout on your envelope and how to group certain colors together.
Remember this is your story to tell or the story of the person you’re sending the card to.
There is no right or wrong when you group together stamps that you love.
Kindly, xo

I need to dig out my Dads book he saved old stamps and I have no idea what’s in that book🥰. You have such wonderful ideas and you are so great at creating the photo of your idea ♥️
I hope you have a look at your Dad’s book he saved of old stamps. What a wonderful keepsake of something your Dad enjoyed collecting.
thank you for your kindness, Kim!
I did not know you could still use them! I wonder if that is true for Canada.
You made me see them in a whole new light Jane! They are little pieces of art.
Hubby has a whole collection gifted to him from his uncle. Some from countries no longer in existence..1.e., Prussia.
We need to give them another look!
Really love how you styled these beautiful photo’s…as always.
