Perfect! This GREEN allows me to use my one hand

to cut up the Greek feta for breakfast without it slipping all over the table

    My first idea was to put a dot at the end of the arrow, and send it back.  But then my mind went running and I got other ideas.  So it's on the list.

    Thank Heleen, I…

Someone else never throws ANYTHING away :-)

Heleen sent a fat envelope full of many, many,many items...InSeine calls 'em "Mail Art Omens"...

How many owls do you see, from Heleen?

Fantastic illustration, an original watercolor "postage stamp" design.…

This all arrived in a little chocolate box designed as a fifty euro note.  The message is inspiring, and thoughtful.  Let me think about it for a second.

Thank you…
