{From Beyond the Perf}
Evoking images of romance and elegance, the U.S. Postal Service issues this year’s Love stamp featuring a graphic design of satin ribbons that spell out the word "Love" in a graceful, cursive script.
Designed by graphic designer Louise Fili, the pieces of ribbon that appear to extend beyond the borders of the stamp broaden the reach of the design and its sentiment.
Like stamps, ribbons often adorn our special packages to friends and family. Attached to floral arrangements, boxes of candy, and gifts of all kinds, ribbons beautify and embellish our gestures of romance, friendship, and caring. Silk, satin, taffeta, and organdy ribbons are often used to enhance the beauty of bridal bouquets and invitations for weddings and other special celebrations for our friends and loved ones.
Also being issued today is this stamp commemorating Arizona's Statehood.
On the 16th, the U.S.P.S. will issue a stamp for Danny Thomas, actor and founder of St. Jude's Childrens Research Hospital.
Remember to check here tomorrow for the full gallery and winners of our 2000th Member cover contest!
Oddly enough, that LOVE stamp was released early. I know a bunch of people who bought it last week. Strange....we missed you two at the ARCH letter writing social on Saturday. But I know a certain person made one of you a collaged postage....
