some more faroes

















I've been working with Faroe Islands stamps again today. Like most Scandinavian stamps they are very well designed and appropriate. Most of my stock of Faroes is used but I do have some mint as well.

faroe islands













A very popular collecting area is the Faroe Islands, which lie to the north of the Shetlands. They are Danish islands but have a large amount of self rule and their own language.

Stamps are well designed and all are appropriate to the islands, with just a few issues each year. They are also surprisingly cheap in used condition considering how few people live on the islands!

the british seaside



With the latest issue from the PO showing various British seaside scenes this stamp harks back to 2008 when another series was produced.

This is the die-cut version from the booklet issued on 13.5.2008. Although only catalogued at 80p this is the first I've ever found!

I'm currently listing mainly modern GB commemoratives which are getting harder and harder to find. They sell amazingly fast with about half of them selling on the same day they are listed! We are now offering postage/packing and insurance at just 50p anywhere worldwide!

If you haven't visited the website lately why not take a look? A LOT of new material has been added  recently ranging from GB through Commonwealth to modern Europe.
