Alvaroo's Collections & Hobbies

Life's a bi*ch. Sometimes you try to do everything possible to avoid failure, and that's not enough.

Ok, think positively!

So - this is a lesson:

1. Try to wash all your corks,
2. Dry them properly,
3. Don't use any traditional wood varnishes (hair spray is max you can do),
4. Store your corks in room temperature,
5. And store them dry,
6. Allow oxygen access,
7. Don't allow sun acces...

Any other ideas? Here's what will happen, if you disobey ;) :

Hello!
Today me, and mr. Žan Trošt, fruit stickers collector from Slovenia - we have suprise for you. We did first 'Alvaroo's Collections & Hobbies exchange', and I've asked mr. Žan, if he can show us his collection. Here's what he says:

I started collecting fruit stickers in 2007, when I notice some stickers on fruits in our fruit basket. They seems interesting and then I started collecting. In 2010 I started with international exchange, which increased my collection. Now I have more than 7000 stickers.


Enjoy!
