Postage stamps anyone?

There is a long list of blogs I check out everyday. Snippet and Ink is one of them! While I'm far away from wedding planning, there are so many cute ideas - even things you could use for your home decor and I just love the inspiration boards.

One day, I saw this linked and thought it was so creative. I love all things antique and vintage and decided to buy these on Etsy. They are cancelled so you obviously can't put them through the postal system. I happen to adore the fact they are cancelled - much more history. I love to think about who used them and what they mailed with them ... and where the mail went!



Ebay has a lot of uncancelled postage stamps from all over the world. I "watched" about 3 different auctions and found out I'd won all of them! My super supportive boyfriend knew I really wanted them, so he placed bids on all of them. I can't wait til they arrive! :-)


I'll be sure to take some pictures ... of the stamps and the finished product, which will hopefully be an awesome collage that will knock your socks off.



Side note ... check out this blog - love it!

  6. I seldom leave a response, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Postage stamps anyone?".
    And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it look as if like some of the remarks come across like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of all your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
