Heleen de Vaan's Comments

Hey, the address is now officially fine. Unfortunately, at least one of the postal workers deliberately refused to place things addressed to Jimmy Connors (pictured); she was even able to make the connection between the P.O. Box number and the name (almost at least) when asked. Well, according to the contract she had every right to act that way as Jimmy Connors was no offical user of the P.O. Box. Why some of the letters that were addressed to Jimmy Connors c/o F. Schneider were also returned and others have been delivered even when addressed to some other completely different names I can only speculate. I'll post what I have received before and after mentioning the addressee - when I'll find the time.

This is Kevin our regular postman and honorary Mail Artist. He takes a keen interest in what he delivers. And yes I agree Clowns were frightening when I was  a kid and now I do not find them funny at all. Slapstick humour is not my thing. The idea was Jack's and I do anything for a laugh so I agreed. It was a great experience of mail art collaboration and I enjoyed it very much. 

Here is Kevin. I made a stamp 

Called World Womens Book Fair

I would like to swap some mail with you.  Can you accept me and also let me know.  I was at Women Congress back in Amsterdam a few years back.  thank you

Glad both items made it to you. :)

Hi Heleen! Bedankt voor de superleuke snailmail! Het was echt heel leuk om zulke post te krijgen! Nu moet ik mijn enveloppen gaan pimpen :-) 

Welcome to the migration Heleen!

Well, Heleen, my best to MomKat when best next you write.

The Mystery of the ORANGE Creature!

(from the markers/stampers that you sent me)

Ευχαριστώ!

...and the stripy envelope!

Hi Heleen - thank you for the Happy Year of the Rooster card - it's beautiful. blogged here in a tiny pop-up gallery. I love your new project with the staring girl and am pondering it right now :>)

Hello, I have not a deadline to altered book pages project but I can say 2 months from now is ok to give time to everyone to send back their pages. If pages are  back to me earlier I will take some photos from the collaborative art book . Thank you for your participation.

oh my...it looks like i missed your post! but for some unknown reason it's a year notification from the groups i belong to in iuoma go on and off. so if now and then i don't do a little tour around to check what's new i miss events, blogs etc.. "my punishment" for not being so active here :-)) anyways thank you for the cool post!! i was waiting and hoping you got mine to connect it with yours http://tac-tictac.blogspot.de/2016/05/blog-post_29.html

i really got angry at the post system...as the employee was reluctant to accept it and i thought they ditched it afterwards. 

!!good to know they didn't!!

hi Heleen, so nice of you. thank you very much! i owe you mailart...since the last experiment gone wrong. i sent you a banana case anonimously like the one i received... ;-)

my side of the postal system seems to 'seriously' lack of sense of humour. sad.

hugs

Thanks for blogging!  Happy you noticed the bird theme with the stamps! :O)

Hi Heleen, glad to know the envelope made it's way to you and that you are enjoying the contents. No worries about getting anything back at me in any pressed time . . . next week, next month, next year [we're almost there], or the next blue moon . . . I've no expectations, so only if you have the time and desire. Peace out . . . K.

Glad you like the animals!

The "minion" is a magnet...for the fridge,
