Building Sandcastles

Cover Announcement 

This individually hand painted cachet shows a young girl playing at the beach. She has made an impressive sandcastle with a little parental assistance. ln keeping with my sweeping, panoramic cachets for this set, the shoreline curves into the distance. On a high dune, a lighthouse protects passing ships from dangerous nearby rocks both visible and submerged.

A small sailboat takes advantage of the ocean breeze. Note details such as the starfish near the plastic pail, the seashells that add interest to the castle, and the feather that flutters above the highest tower.

The new stamp has the first day of issue bullseye postmark from Incline Village, Nevada. Outdoors at the Beach is now ready. Collins # G5901 at $16.50.
