Bonus post - USPS Philatelic magazine/catalog

Today's regular post is right below this one.

I didn't want anyone to miss the update on yesterday's post where Leslie left a comment that she has ordered stamps online - but never received one of the catalogs.

I Googled and found where you can request one for free.
So -- hopefully those of you who are interested can receive one.
They are printed on nice paper - which is a plus if you like to make your own envelopes.
The paper is very slick - so you have to be careful about attaching labels - some adhesives do not work very well on slick paper.
And -- as we all know slick paper is not friendly to some of the inks, pens and markers that we like.

Here is a recent envelope from Inta. It is handmade.
It is always fun to see stamps from other countries. My favorite on this envelope is the one second from the right - where the book is like a tent.
