BANANAS

Spotted this sign at the finish line of a 10K - naturally I thought of Anna Banana :) 

Angie's arrived just in time for February 23 International Banana Bread Day.Tell me this isn't the current price of bananas in American.

Banana Day, Feb.21,

Banana Bread Day, Feb.23

Anna Banana's Birthday, Feb.24!

So we are still celebrating! Yay!

(Came in today's mail...nice to sweet you, too, InSeine!)

Ok. that's ±30cents a POUND of bananas in the USA,

so ±80 euro cents a KILO is not all that high, right?

Yes, indeedy, it is a BANANA birthday card from Heleen:

(Monkey New Year, too!)

Glad it finally arrived. MomKat!

Thanks, Angie, your banana arrived today!

It's a Banana Boekie from Stripygoose:

with all the Banana mailings for Feb.21 :-)

blogged:

Yay!

Never too late, bananas from Heleen, with Leap Year stamping, too!

see blog:

Rare postmark: 29-II-16 from the Netherlands :-)

And in Paris it seems to be big business.  2-4 euros a kilo

Fashion 1975. Banana anyone?

Banana Day falls on the 20th of April this year, and yes this time I found something official to back me up.

Who is in for receiving Banana Mail Art on or close to 20 April?

I had vowed to only banana twice a year, but you've twisted my arm, Dean. I'm in!

i'm in too! :-)

I'm in!

I'm in.

Oh, go on then - I'm in!

I'm innnnnn(transferivel)!

So we are seven so far and one twisted banana fan.  Likely to be a few more.

Welcome Intransferivel !

Tonipoet also replied to the email invite saying she's in.

of course, I'm in!

(what a pickle I'm in!)

:-) great you're in!

Yes, I got a message from Toni Hanner -- tonipoet, so now we are ten.  And that's a bunch of bananas.

Kats, actually I looked today, and the normal bananas were 1.99 euros a kilo.  Maybe I always buy the funny ones which are 3.29 a kilo. Their jokes are better, so it's worth it.

From Ecuador we are getting 1.29 per kilo (2.2 lb)

...but no funny jokes or minions :-(

Thanks for the update, Carina now added :-)

Exactly on April 20ht? Hmmmm, that will be a challenge for the 

HELLenic Post! they'll be going bananas!

Banana Mail Art (a few) going in the post today in the hope

that one arrives in Brazil for Intransferival by April 20! 

Oh thanks for the heads up Kats.  It's true mail for Brazil could take sometime.  I think I'll send that one out tomorrow as well.

Seven down and two more to go for me.  I think I'll eat another banana for inspiration.

Sorry for not creating and sending 10 pieces of banana mail art for all of you. Instead I created an envelope for the Warhol museum in Medzilaborce, SLovakia. Pure coincidentally a banana on it. Or not coincidental: the first (and only) work of art which comes into my mind when I think of Warhol is the album cover of the Velvet Underground (including Mo Tucker) and Nico (f). 
(It will be a challenge for me to find something to draw to add to the inside of this envelope...)

oh oh ohhh... :)  my sending from Brazil should arrive after the 20th, but we have many bananas here, so I promise deliciously tropical pieces. wait!

...on their merry banana way!

my bananas left yesterday...hope they're not too ripe when some of you get them! :-)

Thanks Stripygoose and TicTac...

Banana Mail Art arriving :-)

..but waiting until 20 April to open!

a happy bunch has arrived! Katerina, Stripygoose and Carina...many thanks!

see you on the 20th :-)

Third one arrived today in Greece, too:

from Finnbadger...opening and blogging on April 20, oh yes!

Tomorrow :-)

And 'Tomorow' has started!

Even though I didn't participate this month (I succeeded in drawing and sending one (1) banana instead of the four I had in mind (which still is not enough compared to the number of participants of This Third Wednesday In April So Banana Day)), Katerina was so kind to surprise me and send this delicious Bananas as Mail Art!

On the back a stamp from her famous stamps 'Greek ... Mail Art' serie:

Thank you very much, Katerina!!

Glad the Bananas from Greece have arrived.

Enjoy, Heleen...I just had to send you it with the turquoise!!

And arriving in Greece the Banana Mail Art for today, Banana Day, April 20:
