My postmark Collecting Preferences

Dates

I love to received postcards and envelopes with specific dates postmarked cancellation. Some dates are difficult to find, because it may falls on Sundays or holidays.

I'd done the 11.11.11 and 29.02.2012 (Leap Year Day ) as well as 23.04.2012 (Unesco World Book Day). For future, I plan to collect / swap on the dates of my sons & family birthday and wedding anniversaries.

Pictorial Postmarks

I like to received postcards and envelopes with Cancellations that include pictures or graphics as part of the postmark. Such are issued for a limited time in specific locations to celebrate specific times or events, or for in conjunction with a new stamp issue.

Dear Readers, As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to select and read a book every two months, then discuss the work and related topics together. I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. If you fancy it, please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Emma x
