Yup. This is me. Honest!

stamps, espresso & conversation

Philately is a gateway drug to a lifetime passion for art, history & design. 

There is no right or wrong way to collect. Just find your niche and have fun.

Enjoy learning about themes & designers and how stamps are made. But never feel intimidated by some of us who have collected for decades. I’ll let you in on a secret – we’re still learning too.

If you’re interested in what stamps I have in my own collection, I’ve created a list for you

From Catpaw’s Collection.

About Catpaw

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to write here. I fix computers to pay the bills & write about stamps because of a pure love of the hobby. My deepest dream is to make enough income from Bitter Grounds to devote my time full time to writing.
