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 - China
This is one of my favorite covers from China and it is the se-tenant set of three stamps on the cover depicting the Guangji bridge that really sets the cover apart.
The stamps were issued on November 16, 2009 commemorating the exquisite design and beautiful decorations of the bridge. The Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, was built over the Hanjiang River years ago in the 1700s. Originally, it was a floating bridge formed by 18 shuttle-shaped boats connected by an iron chain. This bridge has the features of a beam bridge, an arch bridge and a floating bridge, which makes it unique in China.

Cover - Brazil
I just realized I had only 5 posts of covers from Brazil on the blog while I actually had 6 covers in total received from Brazil. Hence putting this one up now although I received it six months back in December 2013.
Beautiful cover and it was sent on 11.12.13. Everything right about this cover here and it is another perfect addition to my collection.
