| SF Correspondence Co-Op meeting on Sunday -- we had poissons -- I mean, fish! |
 |
| The SF Public Library (Special Collections) has acquired 770 vintage Poisson d'Avril postcards -- that's April Fool's to you and me. We got to view them at our mail art meeting and then we made some of our own. Read about Poisson d'Avril here My son went to a French immersion school and on April 1 the kids tried to pin paper fishes on each others backs (without getting caught). |
 |
| If you are local, and want to see some of these funny cards, the SFPL is putting on a show -- and newsflash -- you may see some collaged fish cards by the SF Correspondents Co-op too. |
 |
| You know how I am.....I went rogue and, well.....here is some of my cards.. |
 |
| When 1948 yearbook meets fish this is what can happen.... |
 |
| Don't you just love table tops that look like this? |
 |
| I know I do! |
 |
| My little workspace at the library... |
 |
| Besides Fish, we had some chickens at the meeting -- Maureen brought some of her collection of vintage French stamps. If you look closely you can see they are chickens -- and were used to teach little French kids how to count. |
 |
| More vintage French stamps -- and another chicken. |
 |
| Something about those fish showing with French people all dressed up a hundred years ago or seeing them with college students from the 40's just cracks me up. April Fool's is coming right up so watch out for fishes on your backs. Want to get more inspired? Listen to my favorite Bay Area Band - Rupa & the April Fishes So, Happy April 1 and Happy easter and Happy Poisson d'Avril and happy birthday to KSP and Missy Millie and ME -- all Aries celebrating too.
