Stamp Release Round-Up: January Stamps

The stamps above are all the newest releases at the U.S.P.S. There's a new Express Mail stamp. I still am baffled that they even make Express Mail stamps. I rarely order Priority Mail stamps, but I could not refuse the gorgeousness of the Lili'uokalani Gardens stamp. I'm fond of the Love stamp for this year too, but I suspect that's because it's mostly blue. I find it refreshing when "love" gets expressed in a color other than pink or red. The Lunar New Year stamps follow the series design well and I like the meta-aspect of picturing an envelope on a stamp. Oh, and stay tuned to the blog and our downloads page. I have designed my own commemorative stamp for the Year of the Rooster. It should be available next week.

I like the rooster stamps generally, but mainly picked them up for #InCoWriMo: my aunt, since her youth, has had the nickname "chicken". So I think she'll like getting a note with a chicken on the envelope. (I also got the pickup truck stamps, as my uncle [indeed, the very one married to Aunt Chicken] is a mechanic, and likely did a lot of work on the very Ford truck featured on one of the stamps.)

I like the Gateway Arch stamp because I'm from Missouri, and have taken the tram to the top of the Arch. Too bad it's not a First Class stamp.

I got a stamp order in the mail today (WPA Posters stamps and the global Moon stamps). I also picked out the Post Office box ornament and a Mr. Zip t-shirt.
