BONUS post - scroll down for today's post - USPS Catalog

Be sure to scroll down to Janet's envelope - it is today's regular post - below this one.

This is a response to MEJAKA - who left a question in a comment.

She is wondering about the catalog I mentioned. I thought I might shoot a video of me flipping through the pages, but I have had some difficulties with technology - so here are some still photos.

I think you can request a catalog online - maybe not - but you could at one time. If you order stamps online, I think they put you on the list and then in the following quarter, you get one in the mail. BigHelpfulBrother always orders his stamps online and always gets a catalog. I recently ordered and I got one. If you do not order any more online, I think they drop your name. It's a really nice catalog.

Now -- here's the thing that will get some of you all hopped up on stamp-addiction symptoms:

I see that they are offering both Have A Ball and Ellsworth Kelly stamps. Does this mean you can still get them? I don't know. I do know that those two are not on the website. So -- I don't know what to say. I guess I could try ordering them using the hard copy form in the catalog and see what happens. 

If you want me to try ordering for you -- please send a request - 
and depending on how many requests there are -- I might try ordering some.


The hard copy order form is on the right.
