2024 Holiday Postage Set
Enfield Post 2024 Holiday Postage set is here! This curated set of stamps will mail your holiday cards with all the extra luxurious, whimsical Christmas cheer you are looking for!
For this set of unused postage stamps, I paired some non-traditional stamps with a few classic, and “officially” Christmas stamps. It includes…
6c Christmas - This 1969 stamp take its image from an undated folk art painting titled Winter Sunday in Norway, Maine. You can see the original painting, in the permanent collection of the Fenimore Art Museum, at this link. I love the script on the sides of this one!
37c Audubon - My longtime client requested these for her christmas postage this year and I couldn’t get them out of my head! I had to include them in my own sets for you all. This 2002 USPS Issue (and one of many Audubon stamps!) takes its image from an 1830s watercolor by John James Audubon. Swipe through these pictures to see the original artwork
3c Gardening + Horticulture - one of the most popular stamps among my clients, this rich green classical statue stamp from 1958 is a stamp for all seasons. It was issued in conjunction with a centennial celebration of the birth of noted horticulturalist Liberty Hyde Bailey who, coincidentally, died on Christmas day in 1954!
22c Poinsettia - USPS has issued many poinsettia stamps since the 1960s (when they started with holiday stamps), but this one is my favorite. I love the rich red and the layout of the design. Fun fact, the First Day ceremony for this 1985 stamp was held in Nazareth, Michigan.
10c Currier and Ives - This famous print duo has art on two different holiday postage stamps, (and other non-holiday stamps!), this 1974 issue being the first. Currier and Ives was prolific in the 19th century, publishing more than 7,000 images that graced the walls of many American homes. The iconic sledders in this stamp are now on the company’s logo on its website.
