Charles and Ray Eames Postage Stamp

So you've finally selected the perfect birth announcement and you're getting ready to mail them only to find you are underwhelmed by the selection of postage stamps. Fear not, mid-century lover! Help is on the way.

The United States Postal Service is introducing a pane of 16 stamps featuring the designs of Charles and Ray Eames.

Hooray! I hoarded a ton of Gee's Bend Quilt stamps a while back (yes, they're insufficient postage now)
I don't use snail mail a whole lot but these will be nice as an option when I do.

Minor quibble: it's Rae, with an E.

Woohoo! I'm buying these up!

(It's "Ray" according to the Eames Office site, which is the most accessible reference at the moment.)
