Excited About These New Stamps

Tomorrow, May 23rd, the United States Postal Service will be making available four beautiful new stamps.  The "Great Film Directors" stamp series features portraits of John Ford, Frank Capra, Billy Wilder, and John Huston, with each director's face flanked by a scene from one of his iconic works.  (The Searchers for Ford, It Happened One Night for Capra, Some Like It Hot for Wilder, and The Maltese Falcon for Huston).


Should your post office not have these stamps on hand, they can be ordered directly from the postal service's website (HERE).   "Forever stamps," they will be sold in sheets of 20 (5 of each design) at the current postage rate of .45 per stamp.

You can bet I'll be buying them...and finding many reasons to send a card with one of those fabulous directors' faces affixed to the upper right-hand corner of my envelope.
