Earlier this year I rediscovered my Canadian stamp collection. That's right, thanks to Mom's enthusiasm, I was a member of Canada Post's Stamp Traveller Club (insert nerd heckling) however unlike most of my pre-teen interests (listening to Color Me Badd, watching Blossom, crimping my hair) my stamp collection was a welcome find and is actually more meaningful to me now....unlike the rediscovery of my crimper, which promptly went in the trash.
There are loads of gems in the collection, but if I were to pick a favourite, clearly it would be this $8 Grizzly Bear stamp, which I will never use. For special mail however, I love using a colourful mix of stamps (some from this collection, many purchased from Send More Mail, which I highly recommend!). To close, here is a lovely bunch in action on my National Stationery Show pre-show mailers...
