I received mine in the mail yesterday and it is everything I expected and more! There is nothing better than the feeling of a freshly printed magazine in your hands, and it is even better when it is dedicated to stationery! Pick up your copy at one of the following stores or order online.

p.s. The cover of this issue is also scratch n' sniff!

"The art of correspondence has never been more valuable than it is today, whether you are penning a note of thanks or sending a birthday card. No electronic medium can replicate the tactile joy of a beautiful greeting card - the feel of the card in your hands or the soft sound of opening it."

scented and flavored stamps.

Did you know that Belgium recently came out with a chocolate scented AND flavored stamp?

The glue on the back of the stamps is made with cacao oil giving the stamps a sweet taste. The reviews on the flavor are a little disappointing but everyone is saying they smell good! If you are traveling to belgium sometime soon, I suggest picking up a few! A set of 5 stamps costs 6.2 euros.

Check out this fun video from BBC on how the chocolate stamps are made!
