While my grandson and great grandson were over on Vancouver Island today they went into the Thrift Store. My 6 year old great grandson spotted something in the display case as they went through the front door. He said 'Ohhhhhhhhhhh Granny Liz would just love those!'

Who would have ever thought to look in a Thrift Store for used Canadian postage stamps? He brought me home a little Ziploc containing about 200 recent used Canadian stamps still on paper.

The cost? A Loonie & a Toonie.

I'm going to have to teach my great grandson how to soak stamps off paper Happy

Was that a Missions Thrift Store?

Some Mission Thrift stores sell stamps from time to time.
