| Today's Mail There can be quite a lot of grumbling around my house when I get little or no mail but today wasn't one of those days. Six letters and seven postcards. No complaining here. |
 |
| I do have a lot of catching up to do now though... but no I am not complaining. Thanks to all of you (you know who you are). |
 |
| What's not to love about these French stamps? Everyone knows how much I like food and farmers markets and cooking so I especially love the cheese and tarte tartin stamps. Merci, Isabelle. |
 |
| Speaking of French, here's my " French homework" for the Homework show at Mindport. (And thanks to SuperHero who sent me his French homework) |
 |
| Into the Lucca ravioli box and off it goes to Tallie. |
 |
| Two of the Mail Art 365 cards I sent out today. Numbers 99 and 100..... I am still hanging in there with the 365 project. |
 |
| My copy of Esopus magazine also arrived today. Every news stand in San Francisco was sold out so I ordered it online. Esopus How can you resist that front cover? |
 |
| And the back cover? Lots of cancelled stamps! |
 |
| Inside is an interview with Robert Warner about mail artist Ray Johnson and selections from his work. Very interesting. Ok, folks. Thats a wrap for today, I'm going outside to enjoy the rare lovely warm day here in San Francisco and I think I'll re-read all the wonderful letters that arrived today. Remember TO GET GOOD MAIL -- SEND GOOD MAIL! |
Hurray, homework! Looks like this show will have two great sets of French homework. I can't wait to see yours side by side with Superhero's. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Talitha! I just wish I could go to the opening and meet you and SuperHero!
ReplyDeleteI have that copy of Esopus! Interesting read I must say. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. A stamp with cheese on it - I don't think you'd ever see that in the U.S., but it speaks to me!
ReplyDeleteTime for me to play catch up in a serious way. Magazine has a great cover Pamela, will hace to check it out. Thanks, xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteWow, great mail day!! Mine has been depressingly empty...taking a trip and not having mail out going really impacts on what come to the POB! The addage, "you have to send mail to get mail" is oh so true!! I did get a very nice letter today from a new pen friend, so today was a good mail day!Very much enjoying your blog... elle

Today my mailbox was happy too! Thanks ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat's a REALLY happy mailbox! Great stuff and keep hanging in there with MA365. It's a helluva challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andy. Yeah...very happy mailbox on Monday but nothing at all today....let the complaining begin! Of course now I owe everybody mail so that could be part of the problem. I actually do make mail art every day but I figure the mailart 365 project is separate from that so I have to something specifically for that. I wonder, could I just include my "regular" mail art as part of the MA365? Hum.....
ReplyDeleteI just descovered your blog via http://www.vormirdiewelt.de/ !
ReplyDeleteThis idea is great and wonderful!
Salut!

Thanks, Franka! I met Meike Winnemuth yesterday and she is delightful. I loved her blogpost on mailart, including mine -- I just wish I could read German. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Discovered you too via Meike and it so reminds me of my teenage years, when I was growing up in the rural outskirts of nowhere and had penpals all over the world. I loved getting letters and sending them. Once I had a whole wall of my apartment (years later, of course) plastered with envelopes and letters, postcards and stamps. Loved it! Today most of my penpals have turned into email- oder facebook friends. Not so bad, but in a way I'm missing the 'real' letters...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me, it made me smile.
