Kate pulled out her hand carved rubber stamps and came up with a layout that reflects the sensibility of the Shaker stamp. It looks like walnut ink - once again, inspiring me to get out my nibs and ink. Or maybe it's time to retire that worn out thought. I've pre-loaded all the add-ons and the posts are full well into March. I've been waiting for the January envelopes to show up. Thanks to the USPS for the very nice love-cancel. That cancel looks great with so many stamps and layouts.

I found a folder of random stuff. I'm going to make a label called [Ephemera] so that I can post it here and if I ever get to a point where I feel like going through one of those old folders of ephemera, I can just do it here. I'm going to cross post it on the Quotes page.
Apparently the NYTimes has a quotation of the day - and they posted this one.
It is from IBRAHIM ISMAIL ZAIDEN, a postman in Baghdad, Itaq.
It's something wonderful to get a letter. The paper, the stamp, the envelope. It's not just a piece of paper. It's something sacred.

Yesterday I brought up balance and thought I would have more to say. But I was interrupted and now a few days have passed and I have no idea what I was going to say - perhaps the thought will return.
