Sunday Stamps - L

1982, USA, LOVE stamp

Somehow I missed that these special LOVE stamps have been issued by the USPS since 1973!  This one was designed by Mary Faulconer using flowers to spell out the word. The L is a miniature red poppy; the O is a ring of painted daisies and miniature pansies; the V is cornflower; and the E are three coral bells.

for the letter L - Love

I have some I can send you - I would just need your address (you could always send me a note with it).
