collecting.

1.19.2010



a new tumblr featuring only vintage postage stamps. sometimes the simplest things are the best. for more lovely little collections, make sure you stop by lisa congdon's latest project, a collection a day. it's perfect.

  1. very lovely indeed! i have a habit of starting collections and then tiring after acquiring two or three pieces. i'm amazed at the fortitude people have to work on the same collection for years!

  7. that blog made me think of my brother's collection of stamps...so i dug them up and scanned a whole bunch of them. many are very ordinary, but i still love them for the connection to mail and the changing design aesthetic through the years.
