You can read more about this collaboration on The Wedding Co and Oh So Beautiful Paper.

When I first heard about Send More Mail, I knew I had to contact Jaime right away to get my hands on some of her vintage stamp packs. US vintage stamps can be easily found online (just search Etsy), but the same can’t be said about its Canadian counterpart. So if you’re looking for Canadian vintage stamps to dress up your envelopes just give Jaime a shout.
