Sailboats Postcard Stamps - 2023

"Let's go sailing!"The U.S.Postal Service celebrates a favorite outdoor activity with two colorful postcard stamps.
lllustrator Libby VanderPloeg grew up in Grand Haven, MI, a little harbor town on Lake Michigan, so sailboats were always dotting her views as a kid. With these memories in mind, she created two colorful, abstract images that capture the essence of sailing,one of America's favorite pastimes.
A sailing adventure is one of the true joys of the summer months.Breezes ruffle your hair as your boat glides through the waves- the smells of sea spray and sunscreen linger on your skin. You feel a joyful sensation as the wind tugs the boat toward the horizon. Sailing offers a fun way to spend time with family and friendis in a peaceful place. So, find a boat, pack a picnic, choose your
destinationn,and set sail toward the next harbor! Antonio Alcalá art directed the project.
Sailboats will be issued in a pane of 20 and a coil format. The word “POSTCARD” on the stamps indicates their usage value.Like Forever® stamps, these stamps will always be valid for the rate printed on them.
Made in the USA.
