5 out of 5 starsI purchased this variety of vintage stamps in shades of sepia to help boost some mail art but surprisingly, there are enough stamps to match the interests of my pen pals, so off they went in stamp gift bundles! I'll reorder without hesitation. Thanks for fast shipping and careful packaging.

5 out of 5 starsThe stamps are always gorgeous, and I absolutely love their collections. This time though, she sent me a few extra stamps that were California themed. We are moving from California to Texas soon, and preparing for the move has been hitting hard. Opening her package to these beautiful stamps made my heart just swell. It was beyond thoughtful and I literally cried over these. The stamps I ordered - yes, absolutely beautiful and always in pristine condition. The thoughtfulness of the shop owner - unprecedented, above and beyond, and truly touching. This shop has my loyalty for life honestly.

5 out of 5 starsThese stamps, in lovely shades of pink, performed double duty: used for postage and as a decorative vintage touch on Valentine envelopes. The interesting variety included in this mix was a pleasant surprise. Timely arrival, friendly email updates, and packed with care.
About VerdeStudio
Curating minature works of postage stamp art to share with the world
When I was a child, my mother would ask the local postmaster hold a block of newly released postage stamps for me until I could save up my allowance to buy a few at a time. I am fascinated with the colors, subjects and stories behind postage stamp design and have held onto my childhood collection. Several years ago I began experimenting with repurposing small vintage items into usable wares, including crafting postage stamps pendants using my small stash of used and unused postage stamps. I also started to put together small packets of used postage for others to use for crafting. A blogger discovered my shop on etsy and contacted me to see if I had enough unused stamps available for mailing her wedding invitations. That experience inspired me to design sets of unused vintage postage for mailing letters and add those to my shop and the rest is history!
Currently my shop specializes in curated stamp arrangements using vintage stamps. Each design compliments the special occasion by matching colors, theme, style and/or representing special locations or events that are unique to the event or people involved. I pull stamps from my stash and trade or purchase from other stamp collectors to complete my custom vintage unused stamp orders.
I love that now I get to work with these amazing miniature works of stamp art and share them with you.
