POSTAL BULLETIN

Hello I'm Ria

Hi and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog. I am Ria, a lady from England now living in Texas, USA with my family and we are retired US. Airforce. I have been interested in studying and collecting postage stamps since I was a child and it has been a passionate hobby, that has followed me in to adulthood. I enjoy all areas of stamp collecting and postal history, but i particularly enjoy to collect Envelopes(covers) showing nice stamps and postmarks.(USA/Worldwide), along with the occasional postcard that has been sent to me or from a place i've visited on my travels.

What to collect

The different approaches a stamp collector can take in the hobby are virtually endless. With stamps and covers being used in and issued by countries across the globe for more than 150 years, there are a wealth of stamp topics a collector can seek to master, and a vast pool of different postal administrations that might have issues that pertain to those topics. Being creative in your approach can provide topical ideas, but you can also trust some themes that have already proved challenging and enjoyable. Start with any stamp subject that grabs your attention. Topical stamp collections may be built around various themes like sports, animals, music, or flowers. Going beyond stamps- Stamps aren't the only philatelic items collectors can look for to tell the story of their favorite topic. Postal stationery, stamped envelopes, and postmarks can add to any collection.
