Postal History Special Mailing for Valentine's Day -- 14 February

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Bonsoir!

Katerina has suggested that we have a Special Mailing for Valentine's Day.

The theme would be,of course, Valentine's Day. Any treatment of it is allowed, but please try and give it some historic dimension.

(The only thing that is not allowed is using the image of any shape or form of Him in Sigean called Valentine)

Please let me know if you would like to participate. the 'obligation' involved is that all participants mail all other participants bon the 14th.

So far we have 2 people committed to this:

1; Katerina,

2. Him in Sigean.

DO JOIN IN!

Do let me know,

Regards, Val (only 26 days to go to my Saint's Day! Only three hundred and fifty odd shopping days to next Christmas)

[Georgia Grigoriadou]

i would like to join you for Valendine's day!

YAY! Welcome Laurence to our Valentine mailing! And "PERASTIKA" for your flu bug, take care!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

YAY! snookyDog..and Angie, 'glad some "Puppy Love" arrived...do you want MORE...I have MORE...lots and lots. Also, I counted last night, that I have 153 of these "LOVE" with flowers. Postal History: 20 cent USA Postage Stamp, from 1983.

They will go in by the handful into each and every Valentine mailing fromVal's happy list of participants.

"Just spreading the LOVE"!

 

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

And a limited amount (25) exists of these "rainbow" LOVE stamps. Postal History:

22 cent USA Postage Stamp, issued in 1985 (and the price of mailing went up even for LOVE!)

yes, well, sometimes LOVE is upside-down, and inside-out and well, topsy-tirpy, too!

[Jen Staggs]

It may not say "LOVE", but...

[Valentine Mark Herman]

BUT it IS lovely!

[Jen Staggs]

So help me figure out something about this call.  It is a Valentine's Day call, but it has to have a historic nature and involve stamps.  Is this right?  I'm confused.  I have some cool ideas for valentine's day cards, and some cool ideas for stamp history mailers, but the two aren't going together well...

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Val's personal views: it IS about postal history (however you choose to define it), not the least because it is 'sponsored' by the Postal History Boutique. It need not necessarily involve stamps -- anything postal will do, mailboxes, postpersons, historic envelopes, old post or Valentine's Day cards.

                             : it is NOT just an occasion to send out Valentine's Day Mail Art, featuring for example your loved one(s) and corgis or cats. People will be doing this sort of thing anyway (though not necesarily with corgis and cats), and good luck to them.

Others will have different views, and good luck to them too, and vive les differences!

(My part in this now is just to coordinate the mailing list)
