I have loved stamps since I was a child. However, it is only recently that I have started to build my collection . I find a lot of fun on this activity, especially since this is a stay-at-home-a-lot time.
If you plan to do so, there is plenty of useful resources on the Internet. I have listed some of them on this blog page Sites I Love. Yesterday, two readers of the blog suggested me a link: Guide to Stamp Collecting. It is really a great site, very interesting for anyone who wants to get into stamp collecting but don't know where to start.
So... Many thanks, Skyla & Sarah, from the USA! Any other suggestion for this blog will be very welcome.

And another stamp recently received. At first sight I thought it belonged to the same series, but this one was issued in 2003, and features a common shore crab (Carcinus maenas).
To dive a bit more into the deep blue sea, go to Sunday Stamps.

It is hard to believe it has been more than 12 years since I joined Postcrossing. Among other reasons, I thought I could practice my English (and other languages) and get some lighthouses postcards for my collection.
Now, Postcrossing is much more than that. But I am still happy to receive lighthouses postcards & stamps from time to time!
