Lightfoot stamp! - Page 4

char, looks slick...good stuff, thx for sharing + pics, see if your camera has macro mode

hey, i've been getting all those catalogues from CP for years but they never sent me anything like this (or the big posters you snagged, lol

) ...if not already on it, you might like receiving the National Film Board mailings too, speaking of Canadiana galore...enjoy

charlene · 12-05-2007, 09:40 AM

macro! - I'll have to check..I am trying out a new Canon G7 so will give it a try. These were taken with my old camera..

Jesse Joe · 12-05-2007, 09:42 AM

Those are very beautiful pics. Does someone have to pay for that book. They send me a magazine every 4 weeks. Maybe I will receive this as well ? What do you think Char...

jj · 12-05-2007, 09:57 AM

i wouldn't count on it, jj
char may have bribed the mailman...she was so anxious that he only had to ring once, heh

cool stuff, char....yes, looks like you have that feature...and a zillion others

so in the future use your macro mode for .39" to 1.6' closeups and you can mimic scanning

i just grabbed a Fuji S700 using points...not bad, it has 10x optical zoom, great for candids

the HP850 served it's purpose but the flash really ate batteries and lithiums still too pricey

enjoy

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!

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.

I've yet to get it framed but will soon..I'll post a pic when I do..I'd like to get The Man to sign it first..

Jesse Joe · 12-19-2007, 09:25 PM

A great idea I must say...

formerlylavender · 01-11-2008, 12:03 AM

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

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.

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!

Dream Street Rose · 01-20-2008, 02:49 AM

Hi formerlylavender,

That looks beautiful. I love the way you arranged things.Did you find that wall yet?

DSR

Jesse Joe · 01-20-2008, 09:57 AM

Very beautiful formelylavender,

and a big yes to that frame. Thanks for posting it for all of us to admire.

brink- · 01-20-2008, 12:06 PM

Beautiful FL!! You have a very good eye, it looks fabulous. Can you make some up for the rest of us??

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

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!

charlene · 03-20-2009, 05:15 PM

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.

KHester · 03-20-2009, 08:03 PM

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.

Kevin

charlene · 03-20-2009, 08:28 PM

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:
