Put Your Stamp On It

My husband kind of has a thing for stamps.  He doesn't collect them ,it's not like that, he just gets kind of excited when new collections come out at the post office.  This is one of those utilitarian things where I--the aesthete--would just buy a roll of flag stamps, just your basic little guys that are all business.  But Dave buys them in sheets.  He buys the Simpsons, and Jazz Musicians, and Quilts.  He went to the post office recently and came home with some of the latest designs, including these Pioneers of American Industrial Design.


I love them.  He got extra because he knew I would.

I think the lamps are my favorites, though those bright pitchers are surely in the running.

So tell me: do you buy plain stamps, or do you go for the designs?  What's your favorite?


Oh and p.s., I have a little stamp project to share later this week.  True story.
