Every once in a while you come across a song quite serendipitously and you find that you cannot listen to anything else. Class Actress's song Broken Adolescent Heart is my current song of happyness.

These By Land Or By Sea stamp sets are not only adorable but a lovely way to personalize your own stationary or cards or entire life. There are an infinite number of seascapes and landscapes just waiting to be stamped out with these oh-so-cute stamps!
