This is a blog of my personal stamps and covers collection. I am an avid collector of postage stamps, miniature sheets, FDCs and covers addressed to me from across the world, an accumulator and hoarder of stamps. It is my attempt here to show you all of my collection in the posts that I'll add and update regularly. I hope to add more to the collection in the process, interact with you other collectors out there and share thoughts and information about anything and everything related.

Cover - Aitutaki, Country #119
My first cover from Aitutaki. Aitutaki is an island in the South Pacific. It is a part of the Cook Islands.
The British government who had exercized a protectorate over the Cook Islands group since the 1880s, handed the islands including Aitutaki to New Zealand administration in 1901. Cook Islands stamps were used from 1932 to 1972
On 9 August 1972 Aitutaki became a port of entry into the Cook Islands. Although part of the Cook Islands, Aitutaki has a separate postal service.
