I have a Trivial Pursuit box that was an event box for another event but someone already has that.

I have a two sided PacMan stamp also but that one is already taken.

Looking for 'Event in the Box' to borrow (mini-event in Feb)

Edited to update… Because letterboxers are the most generous folks on earth, we got a most fabulous offer of a box of stamps and are now all set!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Yep I could create a tracker BUT before doing so wanted to see if I could beg, borrow or steal an "event" here?

We are looking at the weekend of February 17, 2024 for our mini-event so would need by then.

Theme wish list would be Mardi Gras since it will be in February or Ocean or Beach since there will be a hike down to the beach for at least 1 box.
Another theme could be Outer Space being as we are on the Space Coast and Rocket launches are as common a sight as the alligators!

Mardi Gras
Ocean/Beach/Coastal
Outer Space/Rockets

Or none of the above.

If you have an "event in the box" that I could borrow for a mini event in Florida in February that would be awesome!

Would only be used for the day, and I will return to you after the event.

Thanks for your consideration!

I do not have one but am very interested about Event in a Box. How many stamps do they typically have? Do they contain sets or series of stamps? They probably have an Event stamp as well but what else comes with the box?
Thank you.

This answer would vary wildly! It all depends on the original host/owner of the event/stamps. We personally own one such "event in a box" from an event we hosted a few years ago. I don't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning but I 'think' our event was about 25 stamps and yes there was an event stamp. I included some of the props that we used. After the event I offered it out and so far it has been to FL, CO, ME, IN and soon TX. Those hosts also added more stamps to it.
I have borrowed series of themed stamps/events in a box before and they have been anywhere from 10 - 100 stamps. Again it all depends on the event host/stamp owners and what they want to include, there are no hard & fast rules when it comes to them.

Well, I received a gather in a box this year with approximately 80 stamps in it. By the time I added what I carved, there were more than 120 stamps in it!

It also had an event stamp and a small event logbook!

These are AWESOME stamps—I’d scoop some up in a heartbeat if most of my finders hadn’t already found them at your event!
Peacock stamps?

Do you happen to have a stamp of a Peacock or even just a peacock feather laying around gathering dust and if you do, can I borrow it for a one day event coming up soon?
Promise to return it when done and as always the carver will be credited.

Nope. I have left:

Rabbit (will have to dig it out from under the snow because I forgot to bring it in but it's in my backyard.

Hippo

Pine Needle branch

Cigarette and Lighter (2 sided)

6 - small two sided pirate themed stamps

A bandaid

I believe that is all I have left.

Looking for a nice stack of unused postcards that are not musty smelling, water damaged or advertisements for places of business. SMILE!

Whatcha got???
I ALSO have hand sewn felt stamp pouches with button closures to swap for lots of postcards.

Want to swap pine needle, pirate, and bandaid for postcards? They'll all work for our upcoming event.

We could use the animals, too. Just not for the event😄

Cemetery Stamps

I thought I was finished planting boxes but the urge to plant in some beautiful cemeteries I have been visiting is tempting me. I do not want to carve any stamps myself but would love about 5-10 stamps that are cemetery related. If you have any that would specifically relate to a cemetery that you can spare, let me know.
Thanks,
Jan

No, it would mostly be impulse plants in small cemeteries that I visit while working on my genealogy.
