I was at the Post Office the other day and saw these! I wanted to get married all over again ... just to use these stamps!
King & Queen of Hearts 44¢ StampThis is a Convertible Booklet of 20 44–cent Love: King and Queen of Hearts definitive stamps.
On May 8, 2009, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service™ will issue a 44–cent, Love: King and Queen of Hearts. The stamp was designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, and Jeanne Greco of New York, New York.
Since the beginning of its popular Love stamps in 1973, the U.S. Postal Service® is paying clever tribute to the world’s favorite “game” with the issuance of the King and Queen of Hearts, the latest stamps in the Love series. Artist Jeanne Greco, New York, New York, created the art on her computer for the two stamp designs, one showing the King and one showing the Queen, by using images from 18th Century French playing cards as a reference.
Over the years, the Love stamps have featured a wide variety of designs, including heart motifs, colorful flowers, and the word “LOVE” itself.
I have seen those and adore them! A graphic designer (I saw it on one of the hundreds of blogs I read) was inspired by them and designed some stationary to go with it. Lovely.
