Philadelphia Vintage Stamps!



I'm working on a wedding set for a classic Philadelphia wedding and wanted to give the envelopes some hometown flair. These stamps are just what I was looking for. I ordered a sheet of 100–will have to add 4c. to supplement the vintage stamps, but they are gorgeous and so very Philadelphia. I also found these lovely examples at 100 layer cake. There are several sites to search for stamps, Ebay is where I found the 1954 Independence Hall Stamps, but there is also Champion Stamp and Kenmore Stamp Co. I especially love the color coordinated series. It would make for quite a scavenger hunt, but well worth it in the end. A personalized touch to the first thing your guests see. Happy hunting!
