Well here they are and right in time.  Erni sent me some chocolate Christmas tree decorations.  They all look happy in that box, but what will Dean do with them?

EAT THEM or PUT THEM ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE.  Vote on this blog now!  You will determine the fate of these little guys.  Deadline is this Sunday, 2 December…

A Jute-sack?  In my day we use to call them gunny sacks.  And a pick up wasn't a candy bar!  How things have changed in the art world!

Well when I was a child, we use to have a sack like this to store the potatoes.  So as a performance piece I ran out to the market and purchased some very nice potatoes.  I then put the potatoes in the sack, and that is where I…

Oh here is a good one.  The Mad Hatter's Mouse Mat.  This came in the post as is and without an envelope to open.  Now this mouse mat has seen some serious mouse action in its' day.

And more action to come.

Thank you Erni, the mouse…

Just as Katerina was going out the door, the cheese arrived.  What great timing Erni.  Kräuter vs Sahne, who will win?

  We Katerina enjoyed the Chocolate the night before.

Going…

Maybe Erni gave the German post office the slip, but I'm sure they will find him some day!  I have no idea what this could be, but I'm sure Erni can explain, and then Janine can give an even better explanation.  This should be good.  Watch this space.

The flip side has greetings from Hamburg.…

The wooden Humpty Dumpty Bear appeared in Erni's eyes and he just had to buy it.  "Yes, I should be able to do that puzzle."; Erni said to himself.  But when he got the puzzle home, it became another story.  He started to open the package and all of a sudden, the puzzle fell to the floor. "OH No"; Erni cried.

   Never the less, Erni tried to put the…

Erni the man comes up with a good find.  The Beethoven Marathon is like standing on a tight rope.  Only to know that it may be cut at any time while you are running.  Actually the Beethoven Marathon is 32 Sonatas played back to back.  When you buy the ticket for this concert, the ticket reads; "Bring you own coffee".

A person needs a little…

Well if a painting says a thousand words, and a smile sails a thousand ships then a photo can get a thousand members.  I'm in, but what are the benefits Erni?  Fourty-nine days paid holidays?  Thank you for this MAil art Erni, I'll carry it with me everywhere!…

A long day last Friday which ended in a surprise.  We got home very late (or early in the morning) from seeing the Paris avant premiere of "The Iron Lady" which was a good film but I fell asleep 3 times.  Meryl Streep was fab in the role of Margaret Thatcher.  Too tired to go to sleep we chatted awhile in the kitchen when I noticed that I still had not opened Erni’s package. …

Can anyone guess who sent me this!  Yes, that is fresh Mayonnaise on our kitchen cupboards, and wait, there is more, and more, and more.  Up to 2 meters (6 feet) high up the walls on the other side of the kitchen as well.

I went into shock and had to be rushed to the MAYO clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  My wife was left behind to take pictures of the crime…

Yes, a B side of Erni ready for the battle of the Bar codes.  What I really like the most about this piece is that the support is made from beer packaging with an original bar code.  A sign of the times for his Fan Club.  Thank you for the support you have given me.…

When I lived in Germany, Frau Weleda was my landlady and would give me brandy & coke every month when I came to pay my rent.  Little did I know at the time that later in life, I would be recieving Mail Art from her Grandson or that George Clooney would be runing for president of the Erni Fan club.  Amazing how life gives us so many wonderful things.  Thank you very much Erni for this piece, but wait!  There's a B side as well…

Directly from the Hannah Hoch Fan Club, which I believe is just around the corner from the Erni fan club.  Thank you for this piece and for the enlightenment.

Wow Erni there is major Mail Art in this package.  I don't really know what to say.  All six senses are covered, and with film rights the seventh will be covered too.  This is surely several levels up from my cards.  I'll need to shift gears to even come close.  The timing is perfect, these are the last little touches for my Halloween dinners.

This work of art deserves to be seen in 12 glossy photos which I will shortly display.

Thank you very much Erni, and you really do…
