Received from Valentine Mark Herman, England/France--Royal Tokens

[Bifidus Jones]

That stamp is just too precious--almost makes me want to shout, God Save the Queen

Inside the main envelope is a smaller envelope with its contents labeled:

Much of Val's mail art consists of envelopes not meant to be opened, but with contents like these, you know I have to see for myself exactly what these items look like:

The Windsor Castle wrapping paper--lovely

 

The (unused) Buckingham Palace toilet paper--magnificent. Val knows I love quirky mail art, but he has really outdone himself with these two royal treasures. Great patriotism and great sense of humor--a perfect marriage for mail art. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Herman!

OK...so you're a magician and can make things disappear. But can you BRING BACK the folks who have gone missing such as Angie&Snooky, Kitty Rocket, etc???

Now there's a challenge for you.

Dear Censorship and Quality Control Panel,

Undesirable comments can be made to disappear...wanna see?

[Valentine Mark Herman]

We, the IUOMA Censorship and Quality Control Panel, are unsure if Ms KN's last comments meets our high standards.

But as it is the end of the weekend, she is forgiven...just this once;

In the bird cages, Helen has sterilized SAND from Herr Haptic Erni (see video ;-)

because the shredded confetti papers that used to be in the bottom of

said bird cages went into the trashpo/poo mail art that she

sent out around the world (very sophisticated trashpo ;-) Love the hat, Helen!

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Helen -- three comments, i) your hat is better than Beatrix's, ii) HRM doesn't look like Prince Phillip (for which you must be fortunate), and iii) your pooch, alas, fails the Queen's Royal Corgi test. And two questions: i) what's in the bird cages (don't tell me birds!), and ii) did you drink your tea black, with lemon, with sugar, with...?

Regards, Val

holy cow

I have heard that when the Queen's corgis die she is considering replacing them with Haptic Werewolfs.(I don't know if they are to be hatted or not). This comes from a confidential source in the Royal kennels, sorry I mean Royal Palace

Please don't vtell anyone about this, and certainly don't mention it to Snooky.

Regards, Val

HAPTIC HATS!  Perfection!  Werewolf wear!
