BANANAS

 AKA Anna Banana Appreciation Band (ABAB)

The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana.  Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.
Also: see link and fill in the form and return it to Anna Banana!

Oho! I never get to see what postage stamps the clerk puts on "large-size" packets....I just pay. So Heleen got "September" ones, usually our 20 gram for mail art is only 90 euro, and they are "November".

And yes, Enschede designed them (no bananas :-(

A mysterious large squared envelope arrived. Carrying these non-banana stamps. (I am happily surprised to see that these Greek stamps have been designed by our famous Dutch stamp-and-banknotes creating Joh. Enschedé).

You would have throw me out of the Banana group for these Grapes if I wouldn't post what was inside this envelope. So I do.

An amazing large Banana, cut out and sent by Katerina!

The inside contains lots of my favourite colour: Turquoise!

And a beautiful handmade Banana, with a too right quote... I should have been listening to MomKat!  (*sigh*  still sad that the Banana I've sent to Greece never arrived...)

Thank you very much, Katerina!

Received the most amazing envelope:

- Banana shaped!

Thank you very much, Rebecca!!

Who needs sleep when you can be making Banana Mail Art?  Thank you for staying up Heleen.  We are all proud of you.  Looking forward to seeing your Fair Trade.

PS Peach oil is the only thing I had, but thought it would be funny anyway.  I'm now on the lookout for Banana essence.  In Paris Banana essence can be found in sex shops, but I'm too shy to go in those places.

(Just checking if anyone ever reads this stuff.)

Ten minutes to two a.m. Finally finished my Banana Appreciation Day Mail for you. *phew*

I'll put it into the letter/mailbox tomorrow, hope they'll have a safe and happy travel.
