Happy New Year!! A little hello from me in 2023 as I return to the studio.
Before the holidays I came across some lovely old illustrations from a vintage pack of children's memory cards. It's interesting how many of the icons were still up to date as recently as 2022.
I love the stamped addressed letter card artwork complete with scribbles and a postmark. This is something that will change in 2023 with the latest barcoded stamps which are causing some controversy, Note: The old style stamps need to be used by January 31st. It's a small thing but by digitising stamps do we lose something of the uncomplicated charm of letter writing we love? Those manila envelopes are still going strong though!
I'm interested to see how the coins will change with the King's image. Here's hoping ink fountain pens and butterfly cupcakes make a return.
