A Couple of Updates

February always sees the release of new Valentine's Day stamps from the Isle of Vue, courtesy of Colin Edwards and Alan Batley, This year is no exception and the stamp features the Coco D'Amour - a twist on those suggestively shaped vegetables that give people amusement.
As usual there are plenty of extras to collect, including full sheets, mini-sheets of unusual pairings, covers, an artwork proof sheet, and much more. There were also 5 photocopies of the reference work Colin used for the stamp design

To find out more on this and other Isle of Vue stamps (and a lot lot more) visit the Cinderella Stamps Forum


A couple of weeks ago I added a new in-depth look into one aspect of Discworld Stamps. This one looks at the stamps of Sto Helit, as it has been recently revealed that the 4p Green issue showing Susan Sto Helit held a number of undiscovered sports or variations of the stamp design. These number perhaps just 12 of each which makes them rare and quite valuable stamps! But I know of at least 2 collectors who since have found one in their collections. Which obviously made them very happy.
