Is it US or another country? I love poppies (even had them as flowers at our wedding - today is my 6 month anniversary, coincidentally) and I know there is an old red 3 cent "memory poppy" stamp - I have several of those. If you check out my wedding vid, you will see that our wedding cake was decorated with a sampling of my grandfather's stamp collection).Patrick Deahttp://vimeo.com/27956172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-51795038410990902002012-02-10T11:46:59.195-08:002012-02-10T11:46:59.195-08:00Thanks, Anni.

Love all the ani-mules and birdies (old nature book?)<br />2. I love your postal-stamp-gal practically matches your broiler gal<br />3. I believe the letter pouches are similar to those used eons ago, often hand made (I had one from a friend who started me on mail art in '99, made from a placemat! I gave it away just a few years ago, not knowing I'd get sucked, happily, into the MA vacuum!)<br />4. Carolee is just far too clever.

My town postal workers are some of the crustiest old New Englanders on the planet. I prefer to send mail from the town where I work because those folks are lovely, but of course my P.O. box is near home so that's where I end up most of the time. I've been turning on the charm with the oldest and crustiest of the bunch. I think he finds me secretly amusing, but I think his head might explode if I held up the line even MORE by taking a picture.Karen Isaacsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974064156797038415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-11266351221119480522012-02-05T13:50:11.486-08:002012-02-05T13:50:11.486-08:00I use the digital kitchen scale for weighing my ma...I use the digital kitchen scale for weighing my mail :-) It's very accurate, and sometimes I still wonder if I put enough stamps on stuff.
