My rubber stamps & USPS stamps were gathering dust—but no more. #penpalooza was the nudge I needed to get back into this (oddly relaxing) hobby.

Rather nerdy but this is a beautiful stamp from @DawesArboretum

It's always nice to receive mail from abroad featuring beautiful stamps cancelled with a neat postmark rather than biro pen like in the UK! 😃🇱🇻 #latvia

One such story is the legend of Kópakonan which takes place in the Faroe Islands. The tale inspired these beautiful stamps 👇
