Vintage number eight stamps
What is it about vintage stamps? and the number eight? I love the tiny images, so colorful, such a little bit of color and charm fulfilling a mundane task. I bought these late last night on ebay (someone stop me!) and can’t wait to frame them up. I’m loving the grey of the second set of stamps (it would be a perfect color for reupholstering the armchair). Have a good weekend, Abbey
PS for anyone looking to buy vintage stamps: a stamp collector told me that Ebay really isn’t the best place to buy them. He says they are generally overpriced and the best thing to do is to head to a local stamp store (look in your yellowpages). Here in NYC, I’ve been meaning to check out Champion Stamp, which is supposed to be one of the best. Of course, I like to browse on ebay for inspiration (and late at night, when my will is weak, I clearly buy as well).

these grey stamps are so lovely I think grey is such a great elegant colour I just got hold of 20 metres of grey wool for £15 sterling off ebay and I’m planning putting everywhere!
