I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me used stamps on paper! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located 27 miles west of Halifax on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality, which is famous for the Peggys Point Lighthouse (established 1868). In 1919 the population was 180 and by 1956 the population had decreased to 60.
According to legend, Peggy's Cove was named after the only survivor of a schooner that ran aground and sank in 1800 ... a woman named Margaret. Local folk called her "Peggy" and her home came to be known as Peggy's Cove. The original lighthouse was built in 1868. Exactly 100 years later, in 1968 the Campbell family opened the Sou'Wester Restaurant. The post office is housed in the Sou'wester Restaurant during the winter and the lighthouse in the summer. It is this lighthouse that is seen on its pictorial postmarks.
Postcard was sent from the post office in the lighthouse at - PEGGY'S COVE, NOVA SCOTIA / CANADA / 29 VIII 85 / - pictorial postmark. This pictorial hammer was proofed 23 June 1975. This was the first of many pictorial postmarks that was used at Peggy's Cove. You can see that the pictorial postmark is looking a bit blurred and smudgy - by this time the hammer had been in service for 10 years - it would be used for at least 3 more years!
Postcard was sent to: Knoxville, Tennessee / U.S.A.

1908 postmarked postcard view of The Hammond Distilling Company in Hammond, Indiana. The photographer was near the south end of the Calumet Avenue Bridge over the Grand Calumet River and looking north. The distillery buildings extended north from the river to near 150th Street.
The postcard was mailed at Hammond and was addressed to Mrs. Martha Crane in Burford, Ontario. The individual who sent the postcard and the recipient were probably postcard collectors. They may have connected via one of the advertisements routinely placed in popular magazines. The postcard message read, “Received your pretty card. Many thanks. This card shows where all of our drinking water is distilled. Edna.”
Edna either didn’t know or didn’t want to admit that this industrial facility was in the business of making whiskey rather than providing drinking water to Hammond residents. Prohibition was a hot issue in those days and changes in state law led to the closing of a few thousand saloons in the first decade of the 20th century. Ultimately, the state enacted prohibition legislation that took effect in April, 1918.
One of the signs in the distance was on the side of a building along the east side of Calumet Avenue. It advertised C. SEIPP ______. The Conrad Seipp Brewery was located in Chicago, but had branches in Hammond, Whiting and elsewhere. The 1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Hammond shows a saloon in a two-story brick building just north of 150th Street. This sign was probably painted on that building. The other sign included the word HOTEL and was either on a taller building north of the saloon or mounted on top of the saloon. The name of the hotel is unclear.

1999 Christmas Island, Nova Scotia Commemorative Cancels
At Christmas Island, a small community in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, it’s all about the postmark. The Christmas Island post office is now famous for bringing a festive feel to holiday cards around the world with wreath postmarks that say “Christmas Island.”
Postmistress Hughena MacKinnon has been delivering holiday cheer with the stamp since 1994. Ms. MacKinnon forwards holiday letters around the world after postmarking them with the famous holiday stamp.
“They add a little extra holiday flair,” said Canada Post spokeswoman Anick Losier.
“The stamp has been altered for 2010,” said Ms. MacKinnon. “They’ve added some extra decoration to the wreath [on the stamp].”
She said that during the summer months the post office receives around 100 letters a day, yet during the holiday season that number escalates to around 1,000.
Mail is sent through the office — with postage enclosed — to be stamped and forwarded, by the postmistress, around the world. To have your holiday cards postmarked, send your addressed cards with proper postage in a larger envelope, and address to:

Link to her obituary - www.dignitymemorial.com/en-ca/obituaries/halifax-ns/irene...
She was an avid Philatelist, specializing in First Day Covers from all over the world and in particular ones of ships, Christmas, and the Royal Family. She belonged to many stamp and First Day cover clubs and societies.
The Christmas season was her favorite time of year and she had a great collection of Christmas music boxes and decorations. Over 35 years, she collected lighted Christmas village houses complete with all the accessories as well as a moving train. She donated this collection to Northwood and enjoyed setting it up every December in the Northwood lobby for the pleasure of the residents there.
1909 postmarked postcard view of the Masonic Temple and Main Street in Hope, Indiana. This view was looking northwest from Washington Street near the southwest corner of the Public Square. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Hope shows these buildings along the west side of Main Street. barbershop occupied the small wood frame building at the left edge of this scene when the map set was being prepared. A dry goods store occupied the first floor of the Masonic Temple Building next door, but that space appears to be empty in this view. The map set shows two separate single-story wood frame buildings north of the Temple. The larger business next to the Temple sold farm implements and buggies while the smaller building was a boots and shoes business. The signs on these two buildings are unreadable. Interestingly, when the 1901 map set was being prepared, all of the buildings in this part of the block were masonry. It is unusual for masonry buildings to be replaced by wood frame buildings in this era.
The sign on the next building advertised a HARDWARE and IMPLEMENTS business and next to it was the DAYLIGHT SHOE STORE. Different businesses occupied wood frame buildings at these locations in 1901, but the 1910 map set shows the hardware store with a tin shop in back and the boots and shoes business. That map set shows a dry goods business and a printing business on the first floor of the two-story brick building north of the shoe store. The map set shows a meat market and a bank occupying the second two-story building. An Opera House (“moving picture”) was located upstairs above the printing business and the meat market. The dwelling at the right edge of this scene was on the northwest corner at the Jackson Street intersection.
The Masonic Temple Building and that second two-story brick building to the north were still standing and in use as of 2015. The buildings farther north in that block appear to match those in this scene as well.
