Fifteen unique stamps today! Solid effort :)

The yellowish looking big Canadian stamp is a stereogram stamp, tilted one way it says 1999, tilted the other it says 2000.

the spongebob stamps never fail to make me chuckle 😆

Showing off some of my stamp haul from a couple of weeks ago. The stamps were bought from two different online sellers, at somewhat below face value.

Some of the stamps I've also owned before, some are new to me. I'm especially excited about the "everyman's rights" booklet. The stamps turned out to be fun shapes, and the pictures match some of my hobbies / interests.

Some recent stamp math from one of my favorite snail mail peeps. I am in love with the PS Write Soon stamp!! Dumbo too!!

Yay! Finally got my order of vintage stamps from my regular dealer on Marketplace.

A few stamped cards that will be mailed this week ☺️

I was very tired at 2am trying to get my outgoing mail ready and made this attempt. Couldn't for the life of me find any 1 cent stamps so they are both +2 cent... but it is what it is lol

Both unmachineable..

It's a public holiday today and the weather is cold, gloomy and it was raining a bit earlier so inside day it is 💌

First, thank you to everyone who encouraged going to stamp shows and giving tips. I was nervous, but glad I did it and was easy! Hardest things to do are just new ones!

The community was welcoming and excited to see me there. I walked in and one person looked a me and said, “oh look, a young person!” 😂

I already have a collection around 1,000 stamps… so I didn’t NEED anything, but was fun to see so many stamps in person (versus buying on eBay).

I found a table with face value sheets and sat down for an hour just flipping through. Got some restocks, new ones, and more Christmas with the upcoming holiday. I also prioritized $.30 range for postcards (I like a 32+33 when I need a quick one).

I also picked up 2 sheets of forever stamps that were 10% below face value at another booth, was fun to see the selection they had from the 2000s (but not everything).

My favorites are the New Year’s Eve baby (which I had on my wishlist), and the 32 midnight angels which I haven’t seen before. I picked those up for postcards, but they appear to be Christmas themed as well! And was very excited to see the farmers market, forever stamps, especially the baked goods left side stamps!

I love this sub! I saw some great ideas in the past for Halloween stamps that helped me think a little more outside the box. I used the Halloween stamps I had and tried to find other scary non-halloween stamps. I paired them with my spooky Deep Sea Creatures and tried to keep the color palette the same on them. I also put some minerals on there to round them out. My favorite stamp is definitely the petrified wood! 👻 Thanks for the ideas!!!

This week’s outgoing Postcrossing mail!

Dutch sets of "Kinderpostzegels" (Child Welfare stamps)

Newbie here. I have these old Disney stamps I want to use, but they are huge and only $.30. How can I fit them on an envelope?!

Today I mailed out my Halloween cards and postcards. I didn’t have time for stamp math unfortunately since I was running so late on them.

International and domestic postcards and an international letter! :)

I made this in a rush on Oct 1st. Posting now, when I found out I haven't 😅 plus there's been so much stress lately I stopped carding lol

I'll probably do more later knowing me as it's only 9.45am 😅

Off the Australia 🦘🌏

This one features a fun 'heat-activated' space stamp. Hopefully it survived the trip across the globe!
