JAN from Nanski


This one took a while to arrive - probably because of the weather. See that stamp - The Snowy Day - I saw a blurb that the most frequently borrowed book from the NYC Library is The Snowy Day. Those were beautiful stamps. Now I'm curious about how many other books have been featured on stamps. The only one I can think of is Harry Potter. There must be some others....

Nanski did a card inside - observing the weather - all 20.2 inches of it.

I'm writing this on March 2nd. I've been home for 2 days from the trip to Chicago which turned into a bit of an ordeal. Lucky for me, I've had enough ordeals that the minute they start, I know how to adjust my perspective and be grateful that there are no floods, fires, plane crashes, lost limbs or even a trip to the hospital. February was a wild month for a lot of people. Weather - and all that other stuff. Shout out to anyone who had to put up with their own ordeal. 

My ordeal is mostly having some kind of sneaky bug that is lingering. Tomorrow I will start posting all the fun February mail that was waiting for me when I got home. There will also be a couple public service announcements on how to survive ordeals.

  1. There are the Tomie de Paola stamps with Strega Nona. Shel Silverstein's Giving Tree stamp is another one. Im not sure if you would count the 32 cent comic book stamps, or the Peanuts ones. I would love some Richard Scarry stamps.

  2. Oh yeah, and Goodnight Moon. I think I recall a few years ago there were some that had Curious George , Daisy, Hungry Caterpillar, and Little House on the Prairie. The Little House ones may have been their own series. I don't remember the Harry Potter ones.
