Danish Stamps July 1957

Stamps!  I do adore finding stamps. I love all the boats and ships on these, and they are decently old, 1957. Nothing that will have stamps collectors around the world begging for me to sell them away for millions of dollars, but they are in very good condition. If I just hold on to them, perhaps my great-great-great grandchild will thank me someday.

I honestly never saw the joy in collecting stamps until I started finding them in my books. Now each stamp is a small work of art for me to enjoy. Some of them are down right beautiful. I even enjoy the silly ones. I have also learned so much about Denmark and the royalty by looking up who's face adorns the stamps I find.

I do sometimes feel a twinge of sadness for the person who placed them in a book for safe keeping. I am only hopeful that they will be grateful that the stamps will be appreciated by their new owner. I solemnly swear to not put these stamps in a book and forget about them. They will be well preserved for the future generations. So let it be written, so let it be done. Yup, I'm quoting Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments. I have mentioned him before, but you can't say enough about a man who can rock a skirt.
