Thriftfinds Thursdays - The philatelist edition

Look at all the pretty colors! I just love sorting through my stamps #filaterie #stampcollector #postzegels #postagestamps #postage #vintage #glassinebags #sorting #colorcoordination #postal

In a little quaint town called Orvelte, they had a fun market around pentecost. And the towns people also sold some vintage stuff. I came accross a huge suitcase of glassine bags and upon further inspection, the glassine bags contained a lot of vintage stamps! I was in heaven! Took my fine time deciding which stamps I wanted to take home with me and kept it at a modest 10 bags.

I found these awesome vintage stamps in glassine bags on the right at a fleamarket. It inspired me to get soms bags myself to sort my stamps and keep them in these bags too. #filaterie #postzegels #postal #postagestamps #stampcollector #stamps #mail #post

I got home and started sorting them. It's always such a nice and relaxing task. I'm not a collector in the sence that I keep them in albums, I use them for my mail art mostly. So I got myself some glassine bags to store the stamps in.

Some of the mail art I make with postage stamps:
