More charming oddities from Carina Granlund ...

... from months ago ... thank you, Carina: 

That one is a favorite from Carina. See the car! The bathing suits! The abbreviated handwritten notes on the image! I'm still trying to figure out how those notes came out right side up, when the rest of it seems to be a transfer--a phenomenon Carina and I have discussed in the past. She clearly knows how to do it, and I love this whimsical piece. (Yes, looking for art is a good way to put it; hunting would be right too; and so would searching.)

Here is an envelope from another mail art from Carina: 

The "very easy" and "very vogue" tags are laughable and bring back many funny and horrendous memories of Home Ec class in junior high school. There was nothing easy about sewing and patterns, vogue or dated or beautiful or gross. I never sewed again. Thanks for the memories, Carina--I do enjoy them!
