BANANAS

OH Dear, I think I somehow put my mega blog in the Official Banana Days part.  Don't ask me how that happened!

Heleen de Vaan Happy Banana New Years 2017

Found this vintage Alicia Starr Bananas from 18 April 2014 in a box of Christmas cards.Don't ask me how this happened either.

But a very late, but sincere Thank you to Alicia.

The new Anna Banana book is out! The Art of A. Banana Unpeeled features images from both the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and Open Space retrospectives. Available for $20. Please email office[@]openspace.ca The Art of A. Banana Unpeeled

The Bananas membership cards before sending them out. For the November 2016 event.

February 21 & 23 are coming up fast - who's in for another round of mail art featuring the yellow fruit?

me, me...we can just send Banana Mail to whoever and how many of the members here that we wish perhaps?  Some need "banana replies",

like Keith Chambers :-)

Received a great Banana by FinnBadger!

On the back nice eatable stamps, too (be it that the banana on the stamp was less fortunate, due to splitness...)

Thank you, Heleen! http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/banana-in-apple-envelo...

Banana goodness from MomKat

Came in today's mail delivery! Super!

From Finnbadger:

Many thanks xxx

Arrived TODAY from Anna Banana:

I am impressed that the banana who was never there arrived in Greece 7 days after posting! And thanks for your bananas, too.

This great Banana-born-Bird also arrived at my place, with some postal addition. 

I posted it also there.

Cute healthy Banana, and more, sent by Anna Banana.

Received from FinnBadger, too. Are the orange lines below different from yours, Katerina?

On the back this great Banana lovin' Minion and delicious postage stamps, of which at least one contains Banana Icecream:

Thank you very much, FinnBadger!

.. and many apologies to Katerina!

I've received your new Banana Mail Art few days, weeks ago. And your warning / order 'Open on 21st of February' I took seriously. Very seriously. This seriously, that I immediately did hide your mail art, to prevent myself from opening it before 21st of February. It has been hidden too well. I cannot find it today, on THE day!...

Anyway: thank you very much, KAterina! I'll keep your mail art as a surprise until (= hope to find it back again before) the next Banana day!

Finnbadger's card had two sets of postal barcodes, 

the orange, and the black...went twice through a postal machine? ACCK!

TOMORROW, Feb 23 is International Banana Bread Day, Heleen,in case you find my bananas and make some yummy bread? hee, hee, hee!

*phew* Found back again - two days after Banana Day, but in time for the Banana Bread day! Katerina, your positive words helped me out :-)

And powered by Minons

Happy every Banana Day to all!

And thank you very much, Katerina!

@Heleen @ Momkat - the cards probably went through a machine here in the US and then through another one once they arrived in the Netherlands/Greece.

See! The original Anna Banana costumes in the window of Kunstverein, a tiny, cosy, pleasant art gallery in the city center of Amsterdam (Hazenstraat 28). The exhibition of Anna Banana's works started this weekend, and runs until 13 January 2018. I happened to visit it already and it is a joy to see the Banana Rags, ATC's, artistamps, zines and other mail(ed) items by Anna. 

See for more information, opening days/hours and so, the website of Kunstverein.
If you plan to visit the  gallery, please let me know. I'd like to go and see the tiny-but-great exhibit again, and maybe we can meet up.

A strong looking Banana with a typical Halloween Head!

Thank you very much, Katerina!

It's the Banana-Pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

...and his IUOMA cousin:

Banana Appreciation day coming soon: November 18!

Send Banana Mail to ...anyone ...anywhere! Have a Banana Split...

Go Bananas!

Happy Banana Day today, November 18!

and yes, this stamp was created by Anna Banana :-)

Happy Banana Day! And thank you, KAterina, for this Banana!

Here an other Banana Split, one from under a letter, received in September from Anna :-)

It took a bit longer to arrived from Brazil...
