Dear Everyone ~
I’ve just assembled fresh stamp samplers of summery
fruits, with hidden notes (hint) of flora & fauna.
The fruit illustrations are by artist John Burgoyne,
and they are all delish.
A 1¢ apple stamp is great when you are offering
a penny for someone’s thoughts. The 2¢ Meyer lemons
are perfect if you are (a) offering your two cents’ worth,
or (b) encouraging your correspondent to make lemonade.
The 3¢ strawberries are such a rich red,
and the 5¢ grapes are a philatelic aperitif.
Once you have a manila (not vanilla, manila)
stock page of these stamps, you may be tempted to
hoard the horticulture, so to speak. You might even be
tempted to frame them. Instead, I hope you will use them,
and not just for postage.
Put one on a teeny or tiny envelope.
Use one to seal an envelope flap. Deploy them
instead of tape on a gift you are wrapping. Decorate
a bakery box you are delivering to a fortunate friend.
These mini-artworks are a fraction of the cost of a sticker!
This concludes our summary of summery fruity stamps.
This assortment also comes with two four-blocks
of vintage butterflies (13¢ x 4 stamps = 52¢) and two
3¢ surprise stamps … providing charmola postage
for two pieces of mail. Of course, you could use
fruit stamps to make up the final 3¢….
The Summer Stamp Sampler comes with your choice
of either 10 teeny butterfly clips or two sets
of our most petite envelopes (teeny & tiny).
Juicily, Bari
