And while "Part 1" of the TV interview is still on line,
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2...anadapost.html


"Part 2" has never appeared. Tried alternate URLs to no avail. Did anyone see it. Was it ever put online?

I got two of them on Christmas cards from friends in Canada. Thanks, I loved seeing Gord on the envelope!

  • This is a two-sided display ( same on both sides) for the new Canadian stamp honoring Gordon Lightfoot.
  • It measures about 4-1/2" x 9-1/2" and is made to fit in a slot on the post office's cash register.
  • Lightfoot's pic folds out to show a picture of the set of stamps.

I got one when I got the 4 posters..
;)

Did you framed the Lightfoot one Char ? Can we get to see it if you did ? It must look good. :)

It took me five months, but I finally got the stamps framed. The Gord postcard is on top with the stamps and background circles underneath. It looks really cool. Maybe I'll take a picture of it and scan it on for all to see. Now which wall to put it on???

charlene 01-11-2008 12:19 AM

Re: Ordering Lightfoot stamp
 
Mine aren't framed yet..the poster needs a signature..so much to do..
I want the signed Toronto Sun article framed as well..
take some pics so we can see!
Is it a 'memory box' sort of frame? I'd like to do one of those as well with a few special pieces I have..
hurry with the pic!

Hello formerlylavender,

Glad to hear you got your treasures framed. I think I can help you out on which wall to put it on. I have a few empty spots on my walls. I would be happy to let you use one of mine. :biggrin:

With a little (a lot) of help from my husband, I am able to post my newly framed lightfoot stamp and postcard. You can't really tell from this picture, but the background is brown velvet which looks nice with the colors. When I asked the lady at the frame store for suggestions for the frame, she said she liked this one because it reminded her of Gord's wavy hair. Needless to say, I was sold!

Lovely job! Now you have to take a pic of it on the wall!

I have to get mine to the framer now that I see how nice they look all done! ..

I also want to incorporate the first day cover envelope front and back.. as well as the stamps in the 8 pack that have the small sticky circles with each face that you put on the back of the envelope..plus the poster..and the front and back of the postcard..
yikes - that's gonna be a BIG framed piece!
maybe I'll make it two frames..with the CanPost poster in between in a separate frame..oh dear..so many decisions!

formerlylavender 01-22-2008 08:40 AM

Re: Ordering Lightfoot stamp
 
Thanks, guys. I'm really excited about it. I've narrowed it down to two walls - I want to find just the right spot. Char, it looks like you have your work cut out for you!

I finally got a frame for the poster..still have the stamps to get done.
Lisa is a bad kid..lol
This is not where it will hang-it's just a temporary spot until other memorabilia is framed.

Charlene,

Looks great, now some of us get see our famous moderator.

Thanks for all you help in making contact and getting the pictures from the Davenport
Concert posted. I didn't know how to explain it to the person who took the wonderful pictures.
By the way, I got the venue poster, my poem, the tickets, and some pictures in a frame and ready to put on the way. I think it looks pretty good also.

that's my daughter Lisa in the pics..she's a "Net People" too..and loves to get me riled up!
lol
I'd love to get my stuff organized and do up a framed memory board for so many of the more special concerts I've attended. Yours looks great!
this is me and The Man:

KHester 03-20-2009 09:22 PM

Re: Canada Post poster finally in frame!
 
Char,
Great photo of you and Gordon.
Sorry, I was wrong about the other picture, at least now we know. Say Hi to your daughter for me. I thought maybe that was the way you Canadians pointed at things (Only Kidding). From looking at the Char's treasure chest link. It looks like you would have a long project in front of you to organize and put it all in scrapbooks/memory boards. How many times have you seen Gordon in concert, and how many times have you met him? I've seen him in concert 6 times, and met him twice.

Thanks again for all the wonderful work you do on this site.

Proof! Lisa 'nose' Gordon Lightfoot!

charlene 03-20-2009 09:44 PM

Re: Canada Post poster finally in frame!
 
oh yeah - she 'nose' him!
lol
I think I'm over 60 times seeing him in concert since 1973 (maybe 1975?) and met him maybe 20 times and had a couple of phone calls from him in 2006. First meeting was back in '91 I think (Lisa's first time at 3 yrs. of age) and latest was in January when that pic was taken - Lisa's most recent as well at 21!
I however am ageless...
;)

Re: Canada Post poster finally in frame!
 
Char, I have no doubt that you're ageless. I, however, am turning into Cobwebs & Dust!
Great Photos! Thx.

Re: Canada Post poster finally in frame!
 
Char, the poster looks great. I like your temporary hanging spot - right out in the open so you can see it every time you walk by. Lisa is too funny...

charlene 03-21-2009 12:16 PM

Re: Canada Post poster finally in frame!
 
I actually like it there...Lisa finds it freaky tho.
lol

Char,

Upon further review, I think Lisa maybe looking for the light switch.

I looked at CanadaPost's website and saw no page for Gord's stamps, it wasn't until a Google search that I found it. And they are sold out.

charlene 03-21-2010 11:49 AM

Re: Lightfoot stamp!
 
they were issued three years ago and only a certain number were printed...
