Happy New Year!
Well, it has been quite the 3 years, hasn't it? Not only COVID-19 and things slowly opening up, businesses have also changed. Some brick and mortar businesses are no longer around due to the pandemic. There are also new businesses since the pandemic attempting to give it a go. COVID has effectively shut down many Spring, Summer and Holiday Craft Fairs, but some are still running -- or finally starting back up. Businesses and medical facilities are all short-staffed, so your patience is sorely needed for all. It is really a mixed bag the way life is now. But I do know some things:
After 3 years of running the Seattle Philatelic Exhibition (SEAPEX), I am now officially retired from it. The Board knew my term was temporary. After two years with no new SEAPEX President in sight, it was obvious they wanted me to continue. I had to force their hand and gave my notice back in March 2022 but I would finish the show; train in the new President if there was one voted in by show time. There was still no President by show time in September; I wrapped up my end-of-2022-show reports and effectively retired in November 2022. Now we can get back to life.
We are back to being a small-time Stamp Dealer. We will make a strong effort to update our website and add more stock. We will also start putting stock up on eBay.
We are scheduling shows for 2023. Our current show schedule is below. Hope we see you there!
As we mentioned last year, when we looked into upgrading our Square credit card reader, we discovered that our web host Weebly had been bought out by Square. When did that happen?! Square is how we take credit card payments at shows. Now we can take your payment on-line when you check out! Whoop!
Thank you for stopping by and shopping at our site!
In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.
Happy Stampin'!
Carol & Keith Edholm

Welcome to our Website!
This website contains stamps and covers from all over the world and on a variety of topics. Since we specialize in Peafowl, a member of the Phasianidae family, the website is named after these delightful, sacred birds and their close relatives.
As you see from our index above, you will find stamps in a variety of areas. Research information will provide insight into these topics, especially Peafowl and Camelidae (our specialties). We do exhibit under these two topics, so if you see us at a stamp show, be sure to check out the exhibits.
You will also find helpful information for Youth Stamp Collectors, and Educators who work with youth in stamp collecting.
Be sure to read the About Us section so you know who we are and how we came to creating this website.
In our travels, we take photos of Peafowl (and Camelidae) whenever we find them. Those photos are under their appropriate headings on this site.
Enjoy, and Happy Shopping!
