political leanings - I hope you all give it a chance, the idea of a federated, open-source community that cannot be owned or bought by a single entity is pretty amazing. It is reminiscent of the internet I started to use growing up.

Be excellent to each other.

Happy New Year! 🎆

[Turngren Philately @turngren_phila]

Whatever you do (or do not) celebrate, this is a special time of the year for most people - I wish you all a great time, good food, fun times with family and friends, and a great new year. Here’s to another great year of #philately in 2023!

My wife likes to make her own greeting cards. I know someone who wanted a cover with the new elves stamps…I thought it would be fun to tell my wife what a cachet is and see if she would be interested in making one.

I think she did a fantastic job.

Wife and I are putting up the tree tonight, and I found an ornament I made a few years ago - still one of my favorites. Although you might think it’s sacrilege if you specialize in #Machins

Seasons greetings from Charlotte!

These meter mail labels were created on 12/23/48. I wonder where they went, and if there was any hope they got there by Christmas.

“The combined struggle of the democracies against the forces of aggression” still has some relevance. 🇺🇦

Not normally into FDCs but this is gorgeous.

There is a special place in hell for these mounts.

@synthsnstamps Long term I’m not sure, but I do know they are even harder to remove than crystal mounts. At least crystal mounts are open on the ends!
