Okay many moons ago in my first apartment at college, I had a BF that graduated and moved, and accused me of never writing. He was coming back to visit and I got a sheet of 'space shuttle stamps' (21c fyi) and framed them and hung them where you could see them as you entered my little hole in the wall apartment. He got the clue. Homework was killing me. Yes I did know what a stamp was. Only other time I decorated with stamps was my first food stamp card and one stamp/sheet from my last allotment of them. They used to be coupons that you got in a book; and the store would make 'change' with other coupons, in that you could not get more than 99c cash change back; so my book would be bound in with what I was given for allotment, with $20, 10, 5, and 1 coupons. Having loose ones were okay but you better have the cover for a book and your card to spend them. I think I still have both somewhere. Someone asked me about the foodstamp one and I said it was a reminder about not being too proud to eat, and where I had been and I was now more successful than that (got off dole and assistance)

I like Onward and Upwards! But did you know your post looks a lot like this one from houzzau? https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/which-quote-slogan-would-you-frame-dsvw-vd~1250704

I don't want any of those options, I would like beautiful sitting room with plush furniture, classical French inspired (not baroque), I would like a climate controlled glass house to match with orchids and all other exotic plants. A beautiful garden with flowers and fruit trees and a cleaner and a handyman to help me with it.

As we hand our lovely house over to new owners - thank you for the time we have been given in your embrace; thank you for your beautiful space and light, and for giving us the most peaceful and lovely place to eat, sleep, enjoy with friends, laugh and love.
