Stamps

I love to decorate my envelopes with fun stamps. Sometimes the post office has colorful stamps like the Simpsons stamps which go on sale May 7, 2009. But I also found a great resource for purchasing older stamps (unused and in ready condition for mailing).
The picture above shows what I have on hand at this moment. They come in a variety of denominations and themes. I order mine from Errol Murphy (emurphy@cot.net) Usually I will get $20 at a time. Errol sells them at face value and doesn’t charge shipping. The stamps are all usable. You just need to make sure that your stamps add up to the correct postage.
You can email Errol at emurphy@cot.net if you would like to order some of these fun stamps. I usually request themes (kids, animals, Disney, space, Olympics, nature, ocean, Christmas) depending on my mood. I’ve never met Errol who lives in CA, but having been buying stamps from him regularly for the last 2 years or so. I told him about my blog and asked if I could link to his web site. He no longer maintains a site, but said that people are welcome to email him with their orders or questions.
Wow! This is awesome!
Those are great. I always like it when the post office comes out with new stamps.
Thank you! I have purchased older postage but the person I bought from require a $100 minimum and I don’t get any say in what I receive. I shall contact Mr. Murphy as soon as I get home from vacation.
I have to follow up here and say that I placed an order with him – the stamps arrived within a few days, and they are glorious. He must have sent them on my good word that the check was in the mail (it was). This is AWESOME and I am going to blog about how great this service is on my own blog in the future!
That’s good to hear. Errol said that a few people had placed orders from this blog, so was glad to help him
Got my postage today. So very cool!
