We welcome November 2020! How has the day found you returning to the time change with us returning to Daylight Standard Time?
With the U.S. Presidential Elections this Tuesday I’m remembering a two-part blog post from 2017 on the Letters Shape Opinions 1980 stamp.
While both of those posts were looking at First Day Covers for them, I thought putting both of the stamps together here for the blog post title card helps catch a reference point in time with the elections this Tuesday.
There is a total of six stamps in the 1980 set of Letter Writing stamps, and I was able in the Spring to purchase an entire sheet of them! I’ll have more on them at a later time.
Later this week, on Friday, November 6th, it will be Fountain Pen Day 2020. In the meantime, see you back here on Wednesday!
