    Very cool, going to look them Monday, may grab a set if they are anywhere near as nice as they look from what you posted. Have only bought two sets of Stamps previously and they were in relation to the Acadians, but this set may be worth having to frame and hang along with my others in my studio, thanks for the heads up.

    Edit: I was curious about what sets they were offering, so just for convenience here is the Canada post link to the various offerings, also worth ordering online if your too far or don't drive.

    Thanks for covering my butt (with the link) acadielibre. DOH.

    They are quite nice actually and i was able to purchase them at a smaller post office so my guess is that they should be widely available (for a short time) at most post offices in Canada.
