Heart Health

Collins Cover Announcement 

HEART HEALTH

This new stamp deals with coronary heart disease which is the leading cause of death among women and men in the U.S. It is meant to remind people that lifestyle adjustments can do much to reduce the risk. Eating healthy, regular exercise, not smoking, managing stress, getting enough sleep and regular medical check-ups are all very important.

When it came time to decide on my direction for this cachet, I chose a lighter vein. Instead of going down the realistic organ or medical route, I settled on the "love" approach that the human heart symbolizes. Thus, attached on a connecting ribbon are jewelry pieces all of which are in the shape of romantic hearts. The gold, silver, and gemstones are enhanced by the individual hand painting and, collectively interspersed with miniature watercolored hearts, look just great. You will "love" this cachet, and I hope it reminds you to follow the intention of the new stamp and heartfelt advice from this cachetmaker. Take care of your ticker. Many people collect heart-related items, and I'm pleased to announce my Sparkling Jewelry Heart cachet. Collins # H5001 at $14.00.
