Postal History Special Mailing for Valentine's Day -- 14 February

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Bonsoir!

Katerina has suggested that we have a Special Mailing for Valentine's Day.

The theme would be,of course, Valentine's Day. Any treatment of it is allowed, but please try and give it some historic dimension.

(The only thing that is not allowed is using the image of any shape or form of Him in Sigean called Valentine)

Please let me know if you would like to participate. the 'obligation' involved is that all participants mail all other participants bon the 14th.

So far we have 2 people committed to this:

1; Katerina,

2. Him in Sigean.

DO JOIN IN!

Do let me know,

Regards, Val (only 26 days to go to my Saint's Day! Only three hundred and fifty odd shopping days to next Christmas)

Mailing today! (The cards, not the dog.)

Sorry Jen and Angie, I don't have a cute corgi...sigh. Will a Dolphin do? He helps out a lot, really.

Ready to go in Monday's mail. The magic number is 20 participants! all the best...by Valentiine's Day!

'Spend the weekend with the final touches and stuffing old postage stamps inside.

Lots of red and pink and mauve. Oops! And a "flux" yellow one, too.

I could not resist.

This is Simba, my helper.

and I also sort of veered toward just making Valentines, not worrying about the Postal History idea - hope you all enjoy!

In today's mail were three more fun Valentines:

Thank you one and all for ALL the Valentines sent!

Meep! I haven't sent out my postal valentines until now - many apologies! but I figure better late than never, right? please keep an eye on your mailboxes for my art!  :D

 

Also, my last name is McAdamS with an "s". no big deal, just wanted to set the record straight.

Bonsoir Valentins, Valentinas and Valentines!

This letter appeared in yesterday's (Valentine's day) edition of the UK 'Daily Telegraph' under the heading "Keeping options open":

"Sir: I went to buy a Valentine's Day card at the weekend; Among the many cards on display in the shop was one that read 'You are my one and only!'.

It is available in a pack of three.

Yours, etc"
