PSA

Did you know that you can purchase international “forever” stamps? I did not. My sister informed me of this fact as she has yearly postal needs for England.

Every Christmas I stand in line to mail letters and cards overseas. I dread it. However, yesterday I only had four people in front of me and I was thrilled. When I got to the counter, my friendly postal worker informed me that I could use three “forever” stamps next time and avoid him. Or, I could go online to purchase the “forever” international stamps. I just smiled and told him I didn’t want to avoid him and just wanted to see his friendly face, but I would keep that information for next year. (He really is a friendly guy.) We wished each other well and I left knowing I could do just about anything philatelically on my own, which made me wistful. Some of the fun of stamp collecting has definitely been lost with technology.

My PSA? Everyone needs my sister. She also told me Amazon sells stamps. Have a frustrating issue? Call her!
