I am a 43-year-old Dutch researcher of medieval goldwork embroidery and textile artist. Together with my husband and the cats Timmie and Sammie I live in a small rural village in the beautiful Bavarian Alps. Due to my professional career, I have lived in several parts of Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Ever since I was three years old, I've collected stamps. They are a perfect way to learn about other cultures. I collect both mint and stamped from around the globe.
I prefer stamps after the year 2010. Please no CTOs, or definitives and no stamps on paper. Please take care to only include undamaged stamps. As I am a Dutchie living in Germany, I'd rather not receive German or Dutch stamps.
What can you expect to receive in return? I buy kiloware regularly from Bethel, a workplace for disabled people (https://www.briefmarken-bethel.de/english/). These 4 kg boxes contain German (Bundesrepublik, Berlin, DDR and Reich) and worldwide stamps. I only process the more special ones (Für die Jugend, Wohlfahrtsmarken Sport, Blocks, recent ones, mint stamps, etc.). What I don't process, I pass on to others in this club that mentor stamps clubs for kids. When I really want to spoil myself, I order high-end kiloware from https://www.collectwereld.nl. You will also receive the spoils from previous trades through this club. Again: I will only pass on the more unusual stamps. The common ones are for the kids club.
