@ Insomnia Queen: In view of the fact that the USA international stamps available to me depict big, pink chrysanthemums, I preferred to mix and match various stamp denominations for use on my international Christmas cards this year. I do end up spending a few cents extra, but it still beats those not-Christmasy chrysanthemums. That sort of thing could be a good use for your mixed bag of orphan stamps. I bought the big red poinsettias instead of the chrysanthemums for my international holiday cards, but that would certainly use up those stamps in a hurry.

While watching a western with Mr. Duffy I impulse bought a sheet of John Wayne stamps off eBay. Such impulse purchases seem justified even afterwards.

Already used up almost a whole book of the Espresso stamps, so I wanted to order more. When I pulled up the USPS site, it informed me that I could preorder the new Star Wars Droid stamps. Guess what day they’re coming out? May the 4th. I laughed and laughed. ...And then I preordered them. 😁
And got 3 more books of the Espresso stamps, because apparently moderation isn’t my thing today. 😂

I saw it on the catalog that came in this week. I never got press sheet before, so it will be interesting.

Delos,
I agree whole heartedly. I don't know who designs U.S. stamps but most of them are really lacking. Once in a while there is a stamp design that is fun or aesthetically appealing but they are few and far between. I wish the USPS would get off this circular international stamp kick.

I had to purchase new international stamps today - the USPS needs get rid of those awful flowers!! Only a single option is just nuts. From what I've seen, you can use two forever stamps (¢55 x 2...) and a ¢10 stamp. Or 2x ¢5. Or ¢5 + 2x¢2 + ¢1. I guess you got the idea. I would love to see these nespresso stamps some day ! I usually use some national stamps with different facial values to send letters or postcards from France. I even use francs-facial value stamps, to match the €1.50 facial value required. I recently bought these stamps : www.wikitimbres.fr/timbres/12454/2021-le-petit-prince-75-ansLe Petit Prince is a book every little french are read. It is very much famous for its illustrations and the fact that many people look for its hidden metaphoric meaning that no one knows. But it is a lesson of philosophy. I also bought a bit of these : www.wikitimbres.fr/timbres/12421/2021-ordre-du-merite-agricoleBecause I believe our farmers have a lot of mérite !

They are my most favorite Global stamp. I prefer to use the Global over the current $1 definitive. The $1 stamp doesn’t look good in person, plus it takes up a huge amount of space.

I got two sheets of droids for myself and one sheet as a surprise late birthday for a friend. That after the two espresso stamp sets last week.
I don't bother with internationals right now since it's two regular plus a 10c apple and that gives me a lot of choice. I do agree the succulents were the best. Well, those or the moon.
