A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

I stumbled nosey-bugger-first into a thrift store and found a complete 1972 edition of Laotian stamps.

They are gorgeous! The set was a couple of pounds so I'm not breaking the bank of anything, and the artwork is stunning.

Lots of French all over the proofs and packing envelope. I'm guessing this was when France was still doing a colonialism in the SEA. Either that or it's an international hangover from such times.

A photo of eight proof cards and their packing envelope showing a complete issue of Laotian stamps from 1972.

I just showed these to a Mauritian neighbour. Turns out he's a stamp collector and now wants to buy them from me.

Dammit.

@JustFi right? I just had to have them to study the style and history.
