    1. Red is always cheery, isn't it? I think I miss seeing these stamps on my correspondance. The current ones are less attractive.

    3. I have some Machins, and I am albums, but I'm not 100% sure that I have classified them correctly. So many nuances!

      What do you think about the new stamps, with the code?

    1. They put a lot of imagination in naming the colours; I love them, too.

  6. Nice and red! I've been going through a bunch of my loose stamps, and I am SO tired of all the Machins! Once I'm done I will probably appreciate the range of colors.

    1. Classifying the Machins can be exhausting, and one is never sure. Well, I suppose some people is, but I am only an amateur!
