We love those  postal additions!

Some times mail art gets lost in the mail, and other times the mail company is so kind to add something to our mail art. Dynamic art, I love that!

In this group you can post the postal additions to the mail art that you´ve sent or received. Additions by the mail companies which made you smile, touched you or whatever. Additions which are, in fact, part of the Mail Art!

A suburb of Perth, Heleen. Are you thinking of sending deliberately undeliverable mail just to get it returned? It's an expensive way of stamp collecting!

Glad it made it Heleen. I had no idea they would send it like that - usually they just get put in the mail. Funny you thought I had gone dada :)

And I am so sorry I put one of the stamps upside down - it was not intentional. I love how nice the monkey postmark is, very cool to see it in person.

I received this A5 size envelope and I became curious to see the stamps. When holding the unopened envelope against the light I saw a A6 size card and I could decipher FinnBadger's name. So I thought this envelope was from FinnBadger. 

However, the address wasn't the one I knew, and I missed FinnBadger's typical items - like beautiful postage stamps - on the envelope. FInnBadger going dada with this 'Cancelled stamps enclosed' sticker??

Just when I opened the envelope I realized that this envelope could be a Postal Addition!
Probably to protect both the stamps and this beautiful postmark (which FinnBadger had succeeded to have the Post Company add to his card).

The front side of the card I will post on my animals blog, somewhere in the coming weeks (alas not enough time at the moment to do so now), but for this moment I'm happy to share these two postal additions with you.

Thank you FinnBadger, and thank you, USPS!

Pity that your mail was returned, Alan, however I love that stamp!!

Would be a challenge to try to receive such a stamp, too! To which city did you send this mail?

The only good thing about getting this mail returned from Australia was the giant red nixie fist

'Could not resist the postal barcode on a turquoise envelope, had to send to you, Heleen! And there were a few others on white, too. :-)

thanks for posting, good to see it arrived. xxx

correct address, but still the envelope gets returned. Maybe too colourful?

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 4, 2015 at 9:18am

Two returns :-(
