Captivated by the 2015 holiday stamps from the Netherlands designed by Studio Tord Boontje for the Dutch national post. Our curiosity inevitably led us to holiday stamps from other countries with many designs not suprisingly traditional.
Images are from various sources.
Admiring the bold color palette and simple shapes of UK-based illustrator and print maker, Andrew Pavitt. His work is inspired by pattern designers and British landscape painters of the mid-twentieth century. Much of his work can be seen at Art Angels Publishing.

Olive Manna, a lifestyle and design brand, is the creation of Indiana-based freelance web designer Natalie Jost. Her handmade product line include pack and wrap items, home decor as well as knit and crochet accessories. On an interview with Heart Made blog, she explains her favorite thing about being a designer:
“I am totally tickled by the fact that people like my stuff and buy it. It’s just amazing to me that I can have an idea I think is cool, and instantly find out if others think so too. Sometimes they don’t and it doesn’t sell, but that’s good too. I learn something about people every day. And of course, the extra income is nice too, so we can have things like Internet, our large two-bedroom home, and an occasional pizza on a Friday night.â€
