i’m off to get ready for the knicks-spurs game tonight. we’re hitting the game as a late birthday present for ac so i’m praying it won’t be a blow out. now that i’ve finally escaped my monster-cold from last week i’m gearing up for some great posts next week- new guides, a great new sneak peek and lots of diy and before/after fun. speaking of diy- don’t forget to enter the d*s diy contest- there are $1500 in prizes and stake and all it takes is a little crafty-ness. see you monday!

What gorgeous stamps! I have an ever growing collection of US unused postage that I will be selling online (along with many other vintage treasures) when my website launches March 1st. We will also be offering ‘Personal Postage Consultation’ which is a service to help you find a colorful collage of postage to coordinate with stationary or invitations or whatever your heart desires! I’m so happy to see more and more people appreciate the beauty of stamps!

classic beauty.
you can tell he knows and understands the foundations of good design… and more importantly - interested in the history of graphic design… you don’t see this too often.
like my professors used to say “less is more”.

They feel retro and modern at the same time. Great choice of type and color.

the stamp with the diagonal stripes reminds me of the cover art on JD Salinger books
