Lost & found collectors items in Houma

Stamps lost near Houma Historic District

Last Tuesday at 4:25 p.m., I was sorting through a stamp album on the porch of my aunt's house on Main Street in Houma when a breeze knocked a small leather pouch from the chair. By the time I went inside to grab a drink, the pouch was gone. The air smelled like bayous and creole seasoning, and the sunset washed the brick storefronts along Main Street in warm gold. I’m hoping a careful passerby picked up the stamps and kept them safe until I retrace my steps.
