It is indeed a rare occasion when I head to the post office to send a care package. When I do, I always have this childish urge to decorate the box with stickers, drawings . . . all that. But alas, I am an adult, an adult with not too much free time to indulge in those sort of things- lets be honest it was nothing short of a miracle that I managed to sort out these hand-me-downs, box them up and get them to the post office. So, in order to give them that special distinction of “care” package I asked the not so patient post woman to sell me stamps to use as decoration for my beloved boxes, instead of just stamping them with the value of the postage. After much hesitation on her part, and me having to explain that I am a die hard, old school, romantic and remind her that it is well within my rights to put 27 stamps on my package, even if numerous- she went for it. Thank you post lady and thank you lovely stamps for decorating my package. So, next time you are at the post office and have a package to send to your beloved try sweet talking the post person into selling you stamps to decorate your package, a little touch of old school romance goes a long way . . .
