wow and wow and wow and wow
Anybody who can resist going to the post office and grabbing a sheet of these deserves to be buried alive in junk mail. Admittedly, I'm a lover of envelope art. And what an easy way to dress your mail. Just when I thought the USPS had gotten a little bored with the whole "vision thing" in regard to stamps....wham!

Charles and Ray Eames were a husband and wife design team best known for their work in architecture, furniture, sculpture and film. This commemorative sheet of 16 different designs (and a free sticker right in the middle) is the creative work of Derry Noyes of Washington, DC. It's only $6.72 and goes on sale today. Need I say more?

I saw an announcement of these the other day and immediately thought that these would be sight for your eyes (sore eyes coming from the forever stamp of course).

Wow! Great designes.

Sigh. I used the automated stamp machine the other day and out came the forever stamps. Never again.

Nice, but i'm not blown away. I feel like these designers must have been commissioned by Ikea.

I'm stickin' with X Men.

I like them! They are bright - perfect for summer!

lowen, this stuff was designed in the 40s and 50s. if anything, ikea has been inspired by the eameses. although american, they have had worldwide influence and respect. charles died 30 years ago, and his wife, ray, died 20 years ago.
