BC Trees ... now this stamp has history. This was the very first stamp that I purchased in the summer of 1986 in Vancouver, BC ... canada. And it was called *BC Trees*!!! The stamp was produced by the Great Canadian Stamp Co., and I purchased it from the Hudson Bay Downtown Store in Vancouver. This stamp has been used by so many people that I rarely use it now because the imprint isn't as sharp as it was when new.
So when today's challenge was posted, I went to my paper drawer and looked to see what colour tone would lure me into their family. So, my eyes were drawn to the greens and I realized that I would have to use my beloved, cherished stamp. CS - Always Artichoke, Old Olive and Mellow moss; stamped in Handsome Hunter, Always Artichoke and Old Olive. *cherish* stamped in Handsome Hunter.
The Vancouver area is home for me and I miss the cherished gaint everygreens.
