As I've been catching up on thank you cards that are well overdue for baby gifts, I've been reminded yet again how nice it would be to have an address stamp. For Christmas Josh printed labels which was great, but even faster and more fun would be a stamp. So, I've spent my nursing hours looking up address stamps today. After perusing the web and not finding much, I thought, hmm, I wonder if there are any on Etsy.
There were 3,783 to be exact. And I looked at every one. Here are some of my favs.

Josh screened out some of my more girly choices but I've been informed that my girly-o-meter went a little wobbly after the testosterone left the room and so I know a few of these aren't really options. But I thought the pear was too cute to take down:). I decided that I have really mixed style after looking at these, and these were when I was trying to be Josh-friendly and choose more masculine options, there were a lot of super duper cutealicious ones I didn't put on here which would have confused my style even more.
I decided after looking at these and thinking about me, I can't get a really rigid or exact one with straight lines because I'm almost guaranteed to be in a hurry when I'm stamping the envelop running to the mailbox or post office and I'm not going to want to bother with making sure it's straight. And with some of those more modern ones, straight is really how they would look best. I think I have it nailed down to about now. Just like baby names right? I'll show Joshers and see what he can live with and hopefully I can get us a stamp to make writing letters even more fun.
Q: What are your favorites here?

i love 7, 8, 12 and 28. they're super simple and industrial-looking. i love that. (and who cares if it's not straight?) :) but if you were really worried about that, the circular ones are cool, esp. #1. happy choosing!
Afton, you've done what I need to do. Thanks for doing all the research! I like #10 the best. IN fact I want to order that one but don't want to look through etsy...can you post the link to the page? :) Thanks, BECCA

I had no idea. wow. i love the first one the best.
Aren't they all so cute? Gosh, Josh narrowed it down to two because I seriously love them all and I still can't choose. Becca, here is the link to yours: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62535920/your-custom-wood-handle-address-stamp
