It has been an age since I have been on here, kind of like how old this letter is. I've missed playing with my stamps, so I've opened up shop again 😁

Both so much and not a lot has changed in the few years I have been away. I'm looking forwards to getting stuck in again... 💌📮

Your chance to display at Stampex this month…

After the success of Display Your Way at Virtual Stampex, we are bringing our Display Your Way concept to our in person Stampex at the BDC event in London!​

We are passionate about giving collectors of all levels and areas of interest the chance to show off what they love, and for visitors of the show to feel inspired by seeing other collections and philatelic stories in a fresh and creative light!

Our interactive Display Your Way attraction features three large touch screens for visitors to browse a wide range of collections, from formal award winning exhibits, to work in progress pages, to artistic story telling techniques.

🙌🏻 It is free to Display Your Way at Stampex. No frame fees here!
🌍 Wherever you are in the world, you can Display at Stampex in London.
🙏🏻 There are no rules. You can show what you want to show, in your own way.
🔐 Digital Displays remove logistics and security concerns and costs.
❤️ Visitors to the show can vote for their fav display in our People’s Choice Award.

The winner of the People’s Choice Award will win the Unique Official Proof for the 2020 Spring Stampex 2020 Smiler Sheet printed by Cartor for the Royal Mail. Imperf in the issued colours. (Image below)

Simon Carson, PTS Chairman says: “The PTS believes strongly in the need to adapt to new technologies, and this includes bringing digital concepts to physical events. These displays can inspire visitors to turn their collections into something more structured or more compelling as a story, to share with others.”

So, if have something to share, to inspire new collectors, to promote your exhibiting area, or simply to say that you displayed your way at Stampex 2024, the first ever Display Your Way physical event!, apply to Display Your Way today.

Always enjoy a little late night crafty work. These are my colour-themed commemorative #postagestamp packs. I loved creating these (from re-purposed book pages), especially when I have a nice relaxing candle to sort by! #businessowner #sidehustle #etsyshop

@Ratrin @ArtStamped Yes, very excited, finally got funding! I'm really bad at trying to do too many things 😆 I love how you marry science and stamps together. Seriously thinking about the whole plant stamps thing😹 #WomenInSTEM

[The Posted Stamp @thepostedstamp]

Been off (business) social media for a while, try'n 2 decide on life direction/daughter-time. Start'n a PhD in Sept (plant+soil sci). Need to concentrate on it, but inspir'n ppl like @Ratrin + @ArtStamped appear in my feed, maybe flora #postagestamps business focus could work?🤔
