after a six-month hiatus in which I barely touched my stamps (other than to pack everything into boxes to move) ... I began UN-packing yesterday. I am settling into my new Michigan-based stamp space and working somewhat diligently to organize it ... I am retired after all

.. so I require frequent rest/nap breaks.

Anyway ... not sure why I lost ALL interest in stamps for the last half year ... I have theories but this is not the place for political rants etc etc.

So my first foray in my new space was to pull out my pages of French definitives (honestly ... these pages were on top so nothing special about the reason) and go to Stamps2go and try to fill some spaces. I love the Marianne stamps ... as you can see I have a lot of holes ... filled about half the missing from S2G though so will look a lot better in a week or so!

The French have a way with art that transfers over to their stamps, from the classic period to present they rarely seem to make an ugly stamp. Cant say the same for the USA. In my opinion our best stamps where turned out in the classic period and the 1950's

I know exactly where Howell is. The people that own the house across the street from us live in Howell. There address is 75 Chilson Rd. I hauled a Big Bayliner Boat they own to their house in Howell from Roscommon. He inherited the house from his mother when she passed away.

Binders for my varios and Steiner album pages!! I collect worldwide up to 1952 in Minkus Global Album and 1952 to present on Steiner pages. I also have numerous specialized collections. All of my overflow I collect on varios ... so my 2018 stamp resolution is to get all of these different groups of stamps organized and so I've started with Europe. Purchased decent 2-inch binders and away I go!!

clif,
I cleaned out the closet in our spare bedroom and built a few shelves and that's where my binders are kept. Anyone comes to stay overnight can sleep on the foldaway bed and put their clothes on a chair. It's my stamp room and I'm sticking to that excuse. Last year I ran out of space so had to buy a couple bookcases for the overflow binders and catalogues. I use half inch binders for small countries, one inch for bigger countries and I have a few two inch. I use Steiner pages and quadrille for most collections. I have a printed album for USA and that's gone into five volumes.

Works great.

Small world. I was up in Howell, visiting a cousin, this past June. Next time I'm up there, I'll have to give you a call.
