The "other" L.A.

Being a designer I love a good stamp.....especially when it has to do with anything Alabama! I saw this article on the al.com blog and love that the commemorative envelope is going to say "Lower Alabama. The "other" L.A." If that is not a true statement I don't know what is!

Picture from al.com blog website

Here is what the article says on al.com:

"The U.S. Postal Service will be offering a special commemorative envelope April 13 in Alabama as part of the 50th anniversary of the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" based on the book of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Harper Lee of Monroeville, Alabama.

The unveiling of the pictorial cancellation and cachet will be held in Monroeville at the Monroe County Courthouse. The cachet with a cancelled stamp will cost $40. The commemorative package also will be available through the sponsoring Monroe County Heritage Museum’s website at www.tokillamockingbird.com. The museum will accept checks only.

The Postal Service will also offer Gregory Peck stamps at $9 a sheet with postal workers hand canceling plain envelopes provided by stamp buyers in Monroeville. Peck was the star of the movie as lawyer Atticus Finch. His stamp is part of the "Legends of Hollywood" series."

Got to give a shout out to the ever so delightful Monroeville darling Katie Floyd...I know you will be their, right?!?
