Restroom News

Ya'll I haven't done any mail art lately as I just can seem to find the creativity for it. I've been in a long derth. But I do collect some odd bits of paper that I enjoy. I am an educational consultant and visit schools. Here's a great news sheet I found in the girl's restroom and the student newspaper. I was in Plano, Texas a suburb of Dallas. It's pronounced "plane oh". Names and faces covered since some are minors.

This school had their name and mascot on the soap dispensers.

It was kind of sweet that they had a classic rock station from Abilene playing in the restroom on this radio that had seen better days long ago.

Good stuff, Holly! You've got me wanting to go crawl around public restrooms with camera in hand. Hope your willing to go my bail.

These photos were taken in an elementary school in a small town in Texas. These were the teacher's restrooms. There were radios in each one, but they were tuned to 2 different stations. I thought it was pretty surprising that neither was playing country.

Oh! I love these! 3-D flowers and little purses? I'm traveling this week, I hope I find something good. Teachers restrooms are usually good for a peek at local culture.
