I’ve always thought of stamp collecting as an artsy hobby. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved looking at other people’s collections, but thought that it was quite tedious to be fair. Until I found my mum’s stamp album. Since then, I’ve added a few of my own stamps, and in turn, began to see that it can be a quite a bit of fun. If I get requests, I will post some high-quality pictures of the book.
P.S. I’m sure you can imagine that this album is one of my most prized possessions.

This stamp remembers the American pioneer who settled in Kentucky and founded Boonesboro. His frontier exploits and his adoption by the Shawnee Indians earned him a place in American Folklore. “Daniel Boone (1734-1820) American Pioneer”. Boone is one of the greatest pioneers in American history. This frontiersman paved the way for settlement of Kentucky by leading settlers from North Carolina through the Cumberland Gap into that territory. Boone founded Boonesborough there, near present-day Lexington. Boone’s exploits as a frontiersman, hunter, and trapper have earned him a special place in American folklore. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQfiFVub3i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
