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 - Hong Kong
This beautiful cover with a complete set of stamps and the beautiful clear cancellations was sent to me from Hong Kong. I have no idea who sent it yet. No sender's address anywhere. Great cover with beautiful stamps.
Hongkong Post issued this set of four stamps, featuring the artwork of four local disabled artists, to give tribute to their artistic achievements and to foster an inclusive community. Date of Issue: 15 October 2013.
To highlight the theme of inclusive arts, Braille embossing is used for the first time on stamps issued by Hongkong Post to denote the different denominations.

FDC - Hong Kong - Chinese and Western Wedding Customs
This beautiful FDC with the set of six stamps introduces the wedding culture of Hong Kong from various perspectives, highlighting the harmonious mix of Chinese and Western elements.
In Hong Kong where the East meets the West, weddings are characterized by a blend of traditional Chinese etiquette and Western customs. In this stamp issue, red and gold, popular colours for Chinese celebrations are used in three of the stamps to emphasize the cheerful bustle of Chinese weddings. White and pink, being the symbol of purity, are the main colours of the other three stamps in which the feeling of romance associated with Western weddings permeates.

Cover - Hong Kong, Country #13
And one from Hongkong. Hate it when such pen marks are made across the stamps. Wonder if the pen mark was made in Hongkong or by the local PO. Anyway I still like this cover a lot.
