As writers, we need stamps. We need stamps to mail in our submissions. A few days ago I stopped at the post office to buy a book of stamps. I asked if there were any commemorative stamps I could buy. They are usually prettier to the eye than the regular books of stamps.
This is what I came out of our post office with: A book of Harry Potter stamps.
I have a problem. I don't want to use these stamps.
I solved my problem by buying another (regular) book of stamps.
Have you seen these stamps? Would you, as a writer, be tempted not to use them?
PS: I used to collect stamps. They are a weakness of mine.
These stamps are lovely. We do not have these stamps here. What our post office has is the stamps with pretty spring flowers. I like those a lot and bought two books. I'm ready for spring! I hope you are well and you've made it through this cold, harsh winter well.
ReplyDeleteGood to visit your blog. I always enjoy visiting it.
Hi Brenda! Your post office probably has them, they just don't give them out unless you ask for special ones. I am so ready for spring, but I don't know if spring is ready to arrive here yet or not.
DeleteAh! I LOVE it. No, I wouldn't be able to use those stamps either. But... My kids would probably commandeer them and stick them all over their walls--when I wasn't looking. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal! Oh no, if you get them, you'd better hide them from the kids.
DeleteI can see why as a collector you might not want to use them. I think I'd finally want to spread them around more than I'd want to keep them -- but it is tempting!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia. I know what you mean, they would be neat to put on submissions or to writer friends.
DeleteI know exactly how you feel about special stamps. When I go to the post office I always ask to see the stamps before I buy. When I mail cards to friends I pick specific stamps depending on the friend I'm mailing the card to.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat idea, Donna. Seeing a letter with a neat stamp on it could perk up a person's day.
DeleteI love any and all things Harry Potter! It would definitely be a collectible for me!
