Announcement    Edelweiss Post honors and encourages *real mail* by offering unused vintage postage. I have carried on my grandfather's stamp collecting legacy by carefully curating a collection of my own to share with you and for you, in turn, to pass on to others.

Edelweiss Post offers you vintage postage stamps which you can choose by theme, holiday, geographic location, and color combinations. Make an impression before the envelope is even opened -- And make someone's day at the same time!

Most postally Yours,

Saving Real Mail, One Stamp at a Time

Dear Pen Pal,

Patrick my name is and I live in beautiful Minneapolis, Minnesota - a land of ten thousand lakes and ten million dreams.

My love for vintage postage is genetic. My grandfather Earl (a WWII Vet and small-town Iowa farmer) was an avid life-long stamp collector. His postage collection is vast, and I have followed in his footsteps by carefully curating a collection of my own.

But unlike Grandpa who kept his collection buried in thick catalogs and dusty boxes deep inside his study, I want to share my vintage stamps, dispatching them through the postal system and beyond, with your help. Grandpa explored the world through his stamps but I want to share my stamps with the world.

The internet, for all its efficiency and convenience, has made communication something you cannot touch, cling to, keep, and pass down. When is the last time you received a thoughtful hand-written letter, a tactile note or a party invitation in your physical mailbox?

Postage is a beautiful but dying art form. Our mailboxes have been relegated to the status of junk depositories and checking the mail has become a chore rather than the adventure it once was, fueled by anticipation. I want to help change all this in my own little way... and I'm thinking maybe you do too.

Regards,
Patrick

    Stamps are beautiful pieces of tiny art. But they're more... They're magical little tickets which allow your thoughts in physical form to fly to whomever on earth you choose. A card is a gift; the envelope it's wrapping. Make an impression.

Welcome to my postal shop. Thanks for having a look-see.

My love for vintage postage is probably genetic. My grandfather Earl (a WWII Vet and small-town Iowa farmer) was an avid life-long stamp collector. His postage collection is vast, and I have followed in his footsteps by carefully curating a collection of my own.

But unlike Grandpa who kept his collection buried in thick catalogs and dusty boxes deep inside his study, I want to share my vintage stamps, dispatching them through the postal system and beyond, with your help. Grandpa explored the world through his stamps but I want to share my stamps with the world.

The internet, for all its efficiency and convenience, has made communication something you cannot touch, cling to, keep, and pass down. When is the last time you received a hand-written letter, a tactile note or invitation in your physical mailbox? Postage is a beautiful but dying art. I want to help change that in my own little way... and maybe you do too.
