Angie, why don't you send her a Beetle hub cap?
Viz le Biz, do you have a VW AND a Toyota/Nissan (or whatever your nne/old Targa is)?

Oh Angie, Eames industrial stamps! I don't know what they are but yes please! Anything else? ..oh yes, I could write lists, but I don't want to push our friendship too far!!!...but I will a bit.
Anything Warhol, Volkswagen (esp. Beetles) or Mexican Day of the Dead skeletonish since we're on the subject!
And a page of all your rubber stampings!!..oops, wrong group. ;-))
Mmmmm...Hermes...may I put in a request for one of those lovelies, Katerina? I'm a fan of textured stamps, especially with handsome boys on them! ;-)
And while I'm here, does anyone have any spare Design Classics stamps, especially Charles and Ray Eames stamps from a few years ago? I've only seen them in design mags. Drool.
We are posting Dragons here, too...for 2012 Year of the Dragon, which is being celebrated in China and elsewhere for these 15 days.
Valentine Mark Herman seems to be enjoying the Chinese celebrations while in the UK. thanks for this great mail art, xxx!
Also under-the-dragon is art and Val's stamps. 'Love it all!
Great stamps, Katerina!
Val (who wouldn't say 'no' if you gave hi; a mint one in Paris)
The Greek Post is celebrating 150 years since their first stamp.
It is Hermes, the messenger of the gods...and the series is all
engraved, so there is a great relief/texture on these stamps.
However, my local post office doesn't have a big supply, I had
to go all the way downtown to get a few! sigh!
Suggestion for a dragon mailing -- something along the lines of 'The dragon and me!'. That opens up the possibility for A&S to make a St. George & the Dragon type piece, with Angie as the brave and noble warrior, and Snooky the faithful pooch attacking the dragon's tail
