Break

Hello Friends:

I sadly announce a pause in the activity of this blog for a lapse of 2 or 3 months.  I hope to resume this hobby at mid year or sooner.

If you are avid of info about new releases during this gap, you can check the friend website of Klaus Hülse   clicking here  ( Collections  -  Stamp News )

Best Regards
