BANANAS

I feel like suing - Chiquita stole my fruit label face idea!

bananas are smiling, Finnbadger :-)

Nice, Kat, that made me smile, too.

maybe it's the shape..but banana boomerangs do exist,  and Stripygoose just got one...sorry it happened to you, but the post did not cooperate this time, the address is correct but the claim it's that it was not sufficient.. i received the envelope open cut on the back the whole content put together with the envelope inside a german post one. i will send it back to you...the address i wrote it's the same you have...

banana fashion..

August 27...Banana Lovers' Day :-)

Hello, beautiful bananas! I invite you to participate in the Mail Art Call I’m organizing. It is very special for me, part of a personal, poetic and academic research I am developing about the significance of practicing Mail Art today. Was wonderful to exchange with you on the last Banana Day, so I would be very happy to receive your posts over this time. I promise to continue this network! :) Thank you very much!

Still a few days to go before  it'll be Banana Lover's Day, and I already received this wonderful collage by Katerina!

It came in an envelope with more beauty (which I posted there).

Thank you very much, Katerina!

Message I received from a friend. So now we know why.

too funny, Heleen! 

Thanks for the Banana mail from Toni hanner xxx

Banana-split from InSeine :-)

It's an envelope from TicTac:

and a book mark from TicTac, too:

when reading about apples...have a banana:

September 21 is International Banana Festival Day...

and Heleen sends banana stickers ahead of time in a baggie boekie:

or, 'tis belated for August Banana Day? 

Anyway, always fun to get Banana Mail xxx 

Bananas on the back of Intransferível's envelope!

Inside a great contribution to the 'What or whom is she staring at?' mail art call (to be published later here at IUOMA) and a call for reflexive (reflective?) mail art (see below).

But behold the envelope above, see the fresh-and-green-and-ripe-banana-coloured lines/chevrons on the air mail envelope!

Muito obrigada, Intransferível!

From Toni Hanner (tonipoet) for Banana Lovers Day 2016

From Heleen for one-of-those-banana-days :-)

(originally for November, 2015...FIFTEEN!), but 'will 

show it now for Banana Lover's Day, 

or for Banana Festival Day,

or for Banana Appreciation Day...'tis BIG enough for all :

Pretty "hole-y"

Thank you for posting, Katerina! 

Glad it has arrived :-)

(I hope one day the even-larger-one will arrive, too (sent years ago, see the odd-shaped-postcards-group), but at least PostNL and Hellas Post have recognized this present item as Mail, not a Piece of Cardboard :-) )

Coming soon, 18 November International Banana Appreciation Day
Anyone up for an exchange for this event.  Let me know and I'll put you on the list.
You can sent to as many as you want on the list.  Your Banana Mail Art should arrive around the 18th of November

I'm in.

Please put me on the Banana List for November 18...

(10-days-after, shall we be going bananas? :-)

I'll bite (the 11/18 banana).

Ready and out in the mail...BUT:

Discovered about 20 or so of these old Greek blue 'n white envelopes in a tiny shop in the old agora...special sending for Banana Day, Nov. 18 :-)

Received it 5 days ago! My fingers itch to open it, but I will keep in control. To be opened on 18 november! Thank you, Katerina!

Received this many weeks ago. I first wanted to open it on 18th of November. But I cannot resist any longer!...

A Banana, by Mail!

The back side, with stripy postal addition:

Who is the sender?? The postmark doesn't give a clue...

I only know two people from Germany who would be able to send me 3D mail art, Erni and Ptrzia. Who-ow-who?

I decided to unbox the content. 

Unboxing picture:

Ouch! Was my first reaction when the Banana opened her mouth. Dangerous teeth!?!!...

*Phew* No need to worry, my fingers are still connected with the rest of my hand. It is a Friendly Banana:

A Happy Banana, even!

I think I know whom to thank a million times: the Mail Snail! 
Or also Ptrzia? 
Anyhow: Thank you very, very much, and  Happy Banana, too!

Going Bananas at the Athens Marathon (the REAL Marathon :-)

Hello Bananas! I sent out a bunch of Banana mail last week. Unfortunately some of them returned to me undelivered (grr). I sent out them again. Just wanna let you know that some of the bananas are a little late... :)

Happy Banana Appreciation Day!

Will pick up any Banana Mail Art in my mail box on Sunday,
