The other day I was in the post office and asked the clerk when the new Gregory Peck stamp was coming out. She gave me the "I have no idea" look. So I went online and found out it'll be available on April 28. You can also pre-order it online from the post office website.

I also asked the same clerk when the new Helen Hayes stamp was coming out, and she looked at my like I was from outer space. So I went to my trusty computer and found out it'll be available on April 25. You can also pre-order it online from the post office website.
The stamp of the two-time Oscar winning actress features a lovely illustration by Drew Struzan, who has designed countless movie posters over the years. Check out his website sometime and peruse his art.

A stamp of Carmen Miranda is now available; it's part of the Latin Music Legends stamp series.
I love the Carmen Miranda stamp! I never know what to do with these stamps once I buy them though. Usually I end up using most of them.
ReplyDeleteMe too!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had any sense, I would have started collecting these kind of stamps when they first started coming out! The are wonderful pictures. I'm going to get some and start a little collage...thanks for the heads-up!
ReplyDeleteSure! That's what I'm gonna do too.
ReplyDeleteOh, Thanks for posting this!

The last sheet I purchased was on the Film Scenes which had Oscar winners in different categories if I remember correctly.
I just never have a reason to physically stand in line for stamps anymore which is when I would notice the new collector stamps.
Gorgeous stamp of Helen Hayes! I will definitely make it a point to stop by and get all three of this series.
I might buy mine online. My post office never has the movie star stamps. Not enough classic movie fans in my area. :(
ReplyDeleteTom, great idea! I'll try that too. Thanks for the tip...
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome
ReplyDeleteTom, I picked up the "Latin Music Legends stamp series", just the other day. I have already used a few.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Dawn! I need to get a sheet, too. Have a great day. Tom
