Don't forget your...

S&H Green Stamps was a line of trading stamps popular in the United States from the 1930s until the late 1980s. They were distributed as part of a rewards program operated by the Sperry & Hutchinson company (S&H), founded in 1896 by Thomas Sperry and Shelley Byron Hutchinson. During the 1960s, the company promoted its rewards catalog as being the largest publication in the United States and boasted that it issued three times as many stamps as the U.S. Postal Service. Customers received stamps at the checkout counter of supermarkets, department stores, and gasoline stations among other retailers, that could be redeemed for products in their catalog.

For the old school shopper!

Remembering Top Value Stamps and their mascot, Toppie the Elephant. Other stores gave out S&H Green Stamps but Kroger issued Top Value Stamps. We spent hours pasting the stamps into the books to get an alarm clock.

Remembering Plaid Stamps. Other stores issued S&H Green Stamps or Top Value Stamps, but the A&P grocery store chain issued Plaid Stamps for purchases in their stores. We spent hours pasting them in the books to redeem them for a toaster.

Rather obscure play on words based on a classic DW story and Green Shield stamps. (You had to be there...).

Oh the memories as a kid ready and willing to help Mom lick and stick those stamps in the redemption books! Just another treasure of memorablia in the Classical Gas Museum in Embudo, New Mexico. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "New Mexico" 20210720-DSC_4326-Edit.tif

The following series of mixed-media pieces were done in 2016. The original intent was to use them as backgrounds. However, as I look at them again I realize how dreamlike they look, hence, the title "Dream Cloud Series".

A sunny design for your greetings of congratulations, or a warm hello.
