Well, what was it all about then? Don't keep all us other bored people in suspense! What designs were used? Animals? People? What colours? Shapes? How old did they go? Back to Tolstoy? Lenin? Just recently in just the Ukraine separated country? Pant, pant . . .  |

How many here just pick up a catalog and start reading through it? Bored---I think not.
Have you ever browsed a catalog, seen a particular stamp from a country you don't collect, and then move heaven and earth to find and buy that stamp? Happens to me all the time. |

Yesterday, was cold, wet, rainy, with a little ice thrown in for good measure. I had the afternoon off and resorted some philatelic piles, scanned in a few of my Springpatch Local Post items to send to the LPCS webmaster, and finalized & printed my BSA themed local post stamp to be released next week. I also finished reading the latest American Philatelist. Oh, I also surfed some stamp forums. |

I just finished reading an article in the latest American Philatelist and I enjoyed it immensely.
It was on the Postal History of Ukrainian Ceramics!
Am I bored or what? Hmmm, this might need to be moved to the topic
" You Know You Are A Stamp Collector When-"

Phil - Yes, I'm whining again!
Mac - You're probably right.
All - the other articles were great, but Ukrainian Ceramics? I know someone here probably loves them so I'm sorry if I'm stepping on somebodies toes. I couldn't even read the names of people and places with all the vowels. |

El Swabbo ! I could not get into the Ukranian ceramics article..but I did find the article on Argentinian stamps interesting from a historical standpoint...of course Argentine stamps drive me crazy how they would reprint the same images time after time and I am supposed to figure out the catalog number !! |

just saw a magazine today, about Arts & Decor, and it had this project of "do-it-yourself" laminating your favorite stamps with resin application, permanently on Cups, plates, mugs, table tops, etc...
Now why would I laminate my "favorite" stamps??? ouch!
but it is, interesting speed reading it and I didnt buy it.
