It feels like we are long overdue for a stamp round-up! There are a ton of awesome ones coming out this year for you philately freaks and invitation aestheticians (you US ones, anyway). Here are a few faves:
Abraham Lincoln tribute:
Spicebush Swallowtail:
The Inverted Jenny! In a $2 denomination. Definitely getting these:
I like these because I’m Texan:
Stamps for love letters:
“Just move!” stamps – how cute are these for kid birthday invitations?
And of course – the man in black:
To see a preview of ALL the stamps to be revealed (plus all kinds of geeky behind the scenes “how it’s made” type stuff), visit Beyond the Perf. You can also keep up with USPS Stamps on Facebook like I do (but don’t rant on their every post with unrelated postal complaints. Sheesh – what is with people?!) And of course, buy the ones available now right here.
Yay stamps! Which is your favorite?

Hmmmm… Favorite? Well, I love so many of the new stamp designs coming out this year, but I have to admit that I practically hyperventilated when they announced the Inverted Jenny commemorative! I’ll definitely be buying a whole HOARD of those — So. Excited for that one!!
Agreed! I will buy up a bunch of those to send out little orders first class.
