New stamp release

This one hadn't been previously announced, at least that I saw. It's being released on June 12th, but is available for pre-order now.

Please just keep this as a thread about stamps.

@gidgetgh

I recently picked up some of the Dragon stamps and they are just beautiful.

My favorites are the stamps showing soda fountain treats and ice cream, but they are no longer available.

While I love the portrait stamps, I tend to buy the more whimsical and colorul ones.

Loved the recent popsicle. I see they are no longer on the website

Never understand why we don't just 'stick' with Old Glory.

I like the George HW Bush stamp. I suppose the Bush clan, big as it is, will be buying a lot of them!

@Witchy Womanbought a sheet of gorgeous cactus flowers this week. I use the whimsical for greetings cards, flags for the few business items I still mail.

Really love the Forever stamp concept, especially when I misplace some for a few months -- or longer!

i dont usually purchase the flag stamps......i usually go for a stamp that really catches your eye or makes you want to learn more about the subject.

I think the Bush stamp is a very good likeness of him. Sometimes they are not very flattering of former presidents or other famous people. I do like the colorful, seasonal stamps. I don’t use very many stamps now so like the ones I buy to be a little different and fun.

@lovesrecess Our local newspaper had an enlarged pic of the Bush stamp and I didn’t think it looked like him.

Guess it’s all in the interpretation! 😊

@gidgetgh I think the release date is because President Bush's birthday was that date in 1924.

What an honor and it is so life like. He looks wonderful in it. However, the downside is when you receive an envelope with his stamp and the post office as put their own date stamp across his face. I hope he, Barbara and Robin are having a fine time together.

I saw the cactus flower stamps today - they are quite pretty. But not enough for me to purchase at the new postage rate, since I'm well stocked from before the rate went up in January.

I saw this on the news the other night-I thought the pic wasn't quite accurate but probably because it was enlarged.

Looking at it on the post office website, it is very true to life, imo.

Plus I think some are remembering him in his last days so that could account for a distorted view of the stamp.

Just saw the Hot Wheels stamps.

How many of those cars DS had! (And still does)

Plus they were a big thing with DH and grandson when he was little. Always had to get a new one when the two of them would be out and about.
