Barrie’s original post office
What interests you? What subject gets you excited? What is there in the world that you just have to know more about? Do you know that your passion/interest can be explored via stamps? Of the three subjects not mentioned in polite conversation, only one is not found on stamps. They are treasure-houses of information and chronicle a veritable encyclopedia of human activity in all areas.
Collecting can be tailored to a person’s interests and organized in the manner they find appealing. You may be retired and seeking a new hobby or reviving an old one enjoyed in younger days. Youngsters are discovering something (stamps) their Grandparents knew well and is now considered retro-chic. Collecting can be quite inexpensive; yet bring a life-time of enjoyment and learning to the collector.
