FREE: FOREVER * Love Stamps * Book of 20!!

The listing, FOREVER * Love Stamps * Book of 20!! has ended.

The 2011 Garden of Love (Forever®) issuance—ten different first-class stamps (totaling 20 for auction, one sheet) depicting a colorful mosaic of flora and fauna in a garden setting—is a continuation of the Love series, begun in 1973.

Working with art director Derry Noyes, award-winning illustrator José Ortega created an abstract garden of bright flowers, a butterfly, a strawberry, and doves, interlaced with vines that run from one stamp to another. Each prominent element of the design is in the shape of a heart. The deep blue background is reminiscent of a brilliant summer sky. The word "Love" sits atop each stamp.

Ortega said, "Garden of Love depicts the abundance of life, its generosity, whose spirit is to be shared by all its creatures. Love's definition is broader than romantic love. Love is that colorful, full feeling you get when you enjoy being a part of and sharing in the generosity of life."

Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. Being auctioned is a flat self-adhesive sheet of 20 (Twenty). Stamp prices are going up soon! Plan ahead :) These would be great for non-denominational holiday use.
