Great vegetables / fruit stamps! Vegetables and fruit are my favourite food (er, besides coffee and milk chocolate and 'drop'), and I love black-lined coloured illustrations (as is in most comics). To be short: these stamps are delightful!
(by the way - as a language lover I always wonder why tomatoes are named 'vegetables' (it is similar in Dutch) while it is the fruit of the tomato plant!)
Oh, really? I thought agronomists would have consensus on this, or at least, that they scientifically had concluded that this distinction is as it is :-)

DH says there is a never-ending discussion among agronomist about this matter :)

DeleteThey agree the tomato is the fruit. But it seems that the common name "vegetables" means nothing in the agronomic world :)
DeleteLooks like this one traveled well. I really like this stamp set, they did a fantastic job with the design.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the best design issued by USPS in recent times (but this is difficult to establish!).
DeleteTalk about a saliva rush! Those tomatoes do it every time. I've bought 20 of the Summer Harvest stamps three times. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd do so if I lived in the USA and could use them on my letters!
