For quite a long time,I was very envious when I viewed blogs about stamps and covers but, finally I am able to create my own. To all stamp/cover collectors and philatelists alike, we all know how much FUN we get out of this!

Tokelau
I love this cover!!! It's from Tokelau! It's a gem in my collection!!!!!!
Tokelau is a territory of New Zealand that consists of three tropical coral atolls with a combined land area of 10 km2 and a population of approximately 1,400 in the South Pacific Ocean. The atolls lie north of the Samoan Islands, east of Tuvalu, south of the Phoenix Islands, southwest of the more distant Line Islands (both islands groups belonging to Kiribati) and northwest of the Cook Islands.
The United Nations General Assembly designated Tokelau a Non-Self-Governing Territory. Until 1976 the official name was Tokelau Islands. Tokelau is sometimes referred to by Westerners by the older, colonial name of The Union Islands.
