Serendipity Stamps Blog

I read an article in the paper today suggesting that if each of us got out there and spent some money, we could make a big difference in the economy.   Here’s how it works.   Say you jump over to www.serendipitystamps.com this weekend and buy a couple stamps.   Then, I can go to Suze’s Cafe for lunch (instead of eating my same old turkey sandwich at home), then Suze can buy a new espresso machine, and the espresso machine company can hire 5 more employees, and so on, and so on.  You get the picture.   It’s up to us guys – lets save the country!

Need some more encouragement? I just added 063F Books-Mounted Only to our Current Promotions page for 50% off!   Just look at what you can do with this stamp.

Check out our Current Promotions and our Deal of the Week for more sale items.

I have two spiders to show you and to be honest, neither is very scary.   Our deal of the week this week is our cute little spider (2.5 x 2.5 “).  He’s 50% off until Sept. 27th.   We also have all of our Acrylic Blocks 50% off.

A couple days ago I was picking green beans and found this beautiful girl working diligently on her web.   It was an amazing site!   Within about 15 minutes she’d run out all the spokes of her web, then started working round and round to fill it in.   Hope she caught a good meal!
