Extra bonus of buying stamps

Yesterday was a very productive day for my stamps collection, I opened my mailbox and there were two postcards one from Lithuania and the other from Malaysia !… and also I received T-M’s cover from German Morgenpost and also I received a packet of stamps, my first buy of stamps from Philantologie that came with this nice cover !

And I got 100 extra stamps from Australia as a bonus

In this cover you can see 4 Marianne of 5 cents, and one stamp from the Looney Tunes serie of the Stamp journey !… and two stamps of the Louis Bleriot stamp (2 euro each).

I bought stamps from America, Asia, Australia and East Europe… I must say that I will have to buy a new album now hehehe… my poor Hobby album now is not enough…

Ah and another bonus is that in the past days a coworker of my husband borrowed me a lot of postcards so I can take the stamp and these postcards are from many many countries also !… so I will be posting all these new covers and stamps in the next days

Old French stamps and postmarks

Gaolga — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:57:00 +0000

These are two French stamps that are the oldest I have. I show them with the postmark because it was very beautiful… now they are separated because the postcards are not mine, they were borrowed so I can take the stamp… but the image of the postmark and the stamp together will remain in the blog.

The postmark of this one is from 1966 !

This one has a postmark from 1962 !

These two are the oldest french stamps I have … thanks again to Marie because these two stamps were in the postcards she borrowed me (see the nice thing of preventing your friends about your hobby !)
