Little Christmas package from Heleen de Vaan - Netherlands

Very small package arrived safe:

I was abroad for 2 weeks, so found this on Monday 4th 2016 with the pile of mail at the P.O. Box.

Thanks so much Heleen!

Anyhow, I think it a miracle that it has arrived! Many thanks to the mail company! :-)

Glad to see it arrived well!

By the way, FinnBadher, I once sent tiny wooden objects (a bird, butterfly, birdhouse, all flat) 'naked' to the USA, and at least 4 (out of 6) arrived without problem! See also the IUOMA group 'odd shaped postcards'.

I love this year's December stamps - the designs are wonderful.

And yes, kudos to PostNL for being so good with your incoming mail art packages.

p.s. and off course the bunny stamps were used!

Micro Mail still works here. That is Good. The Postal Office solved the problem by using an elastic band and attacfhed it to another piece of mail-art heading to the P.O. Box. That way it travelled safe without extra attachments, and seeing the special postage (christmas stamps) it travelled at that cheap rate too!

Here in the US that tiny package would be considered undeliverable by USPS. I think you'd have to put it in a bigger package. Great micro-mail from Heleen.
