Good day to you! A warm welcome to my blog! I collect stamps of the first issues (first postage stamp issued by any nations), stamps of U.S.A. & P.R.C. origins and topical stamps of tortoises and turtles. However more often than not, I am swung by beautiful stamps outside my collecting areas! So end of the day, I collect everything (LOL). I am also interested to exchange covers from all corners of the world. So if you are interested, pls do not hesitate to send me a cover to my postal address and i will revert back to you with a beautiful cover from Singapore. Enjoy your stamps!
What is nice when you leave for several weeks in holidays is that when you
come back you find your mailbox full of mails. This is what happened to me
