My grandmother was an avid stamp collector and as a child I would spend hours going through her stamps albums looking at all the stamps from around the world. I used to get lost in imagining the travels those stamps ahd made.

@frequentlyme It's amazing when one realizes how many of these countries literally or technically no longer exist.

@EllaDisenchanted Yep, and the beauty of the art in these small masterpieces boggles the mind. Sometimes I'd look through a stack of stamps yet to be put in an album (one still attached to envelopes), and see a stain on the envelope and begin to wonder what that stain was, how it got there, was it a tear drop from an old love, etc. Yes, many hours spent with those stamps.
