A wedding invitation suite is SO much more endearing and unique with vintage stamps. Each time we see a flat lay or a calligraphed envelope embellished with old postage stamps, we swoon. You wouldn't believe how much study is needed to calculate, find, curate, and assemble wedding vintage stamps into your envelopes. With so many variables at play when buying old postal stamps, we've compiled all of the advice we've picked up along the road.

Happy Lunar New Year of the Dragon! 恭喜發財!

Thought it would be a nice moment to share this lovely Hong Kong Ten Dollar stamp!

Two photos of King George VI by Bertram Park were considered for use on postage stamps. The first portrait was rejected by the Royal Mint, but accepted for those produced for the Commonwealth. The second portrait was accepted for UK circulation - and it tickles me how the King’s big ear was made smaller!

Which portrait would you have chosen? (I say, screw the photos, just give me Bertie😂)
